4.3.8.2 Vacuum and air kiss at Twin Head
The vacuum generation and the vacuum regulation at the Twin head is a fully sophisticated
new process. The vacuum and air kiss is not anymore seperated, as known from former vac-
uum systems we used. Furthermore, 1 venturi system is used for vacuum and air kiss by con-
trolling it through an adjustable piston. Depending on the position of this piston 3 different
states are to regulate.

4.3.8.3 Z-axis safety process
Another use of 4.6 bar compressed air is the Z-axis safety process. As long the machine is in a
normal mode, the Z-axis keeps position on zero digits. In case, power drops down, it must be se-
cured, the Z-axis does not remain or fall down in any down position.
This is realized by a spring, which retracts the z-axis to top position by extending. As long as there
is no fault event, the spring is pressed by a 4.6 bar compressed air pressure. In a fault event, like
power drop, the power fail mode is activated, which powers the z-axis for about 200 ms seconds
with the aid of a capacitor, located in the main power supply. This secures the Z-axis moves up
with power and with additional help through retract spring.
