What does this error message mean?
CCD = concurrent connected data variables.
The amount of active CCD is limited. Opening the HMI is using some of the available CCD.
Closing the HMI is releasing the CCD again.
When you repeatedly open and close the browser, the CCD can still be in use and getting into the limitation.
(There is a delay for releasing the CCD when closing the connection).
„If a client wants to subscribe to new data variables while no more CCDs are available, a message “CCD exceeded!” will appear and there will be no communication with these data variables.“
„If a client disconnects from the visu (e.g. browser gets closed), it will take some time until the browser session expires and the CCDs from this client become available once again (session timeout of the scada server: 2 min.).
How to solve a CCD exceeded?
Close alle open browser connection and wait for >2 min.
Now you should be able to open the HMI without error message.
How to prevent a CCD exceeded?
Don’t open the HMI in several browser simultaneously.
Don’t repeatedly open and close the HMI in short time.
Don’t repeatedly press reload the HMI in short time.
Possible cause:
The upper pendulum roller might be not leveled properly. When regrooving the upper disc for example 0.50 mm in diameter, the height of the pendulum rollerhead must be reduced 0.25 mm. This can be done by the M10 screw on the back side.
See also in the manual X1 how to reset the upper pendulum rollerhead.
NOTE: The description manual is based on a CM X1 welder, but it works very similar for our other welders.
ATTENTION: Do not touch the red marked screws!

Work: Alignment of the roller head
IMPORTANT:
The center of the upper roller head must be approx. 4mm ahead of the center of lower roller head. This setting supports the achievement of accurate overlap during the welding process.
Procedure:
Switch off the air supply, the welding roller heads should touch each other.
Loose the chain tensioner.
Undo the 4 x M8 screws of the current band
Undo the 4 x M8 screws of the motor to reduce the tension of the timing belt.
Undo the 2 x M8 screws of the oscillator to loose the connection to the welding pressure.
Undo the 2 x M12 screws of the oscillator.
Adjust the oscillator, in order to achieve the offset of 4 mm (see explanation in the first frame).
Tighten the oscillator.
Question: Are both wires lined up accurately? If not, undo the oscillator once more to shift it slightly sideways.
IMPORTANT: Check if the welding roll touches the oscillator. If yes, adjust the welding roll sideways.
The remaining work is, to perform the reverse sequence of the procedure.
Machine basics:
– Overlap 6.0 mm
– Copper wire diameter 1.8 mm – Galvanized metals 0.7 mm
1. Maintenance:
1.1. Make sure the whole Z-bar area (also the inner part) is free of small swarfs, steel dust and other. This little dirt can reduce the function of several isolations, and the weld power starts to become uncontrolled! Sometimes more, sometimes less power could be the negative effect!
1.2. Run one or more metals without current, and feel any slight vibrations / acc – decelerations while moving forward!
2. First, basic adjustment:
2.1. Copper wire profile (width not thickness!) after the profiler must be between 2.20 – 2.25 mm. Use the delivered micro-meter to measure the copper wire, if needed adjust the profiler, see the manual.
2.2. Wire tension: On the main aluminium plate you see an air regulator. Set the pressure to 3.0 – 3.5 bar by turning the handle on top of air regulator. If the copper wire is running, the wire must be well tensioned. You can imagine, if the copper wire has a low tension, he likes to get welded with the metal. If the tension is to high, then the copper wire like to get stretched, and can break frequently.
2.3. Welding pressure: Close the welding wheels by turning the turn-switch on the panel. Near to the upper welding wheel you see a spring. Close to the spring you see an aluminium welding pressure. The lower end of the spring shows the value on the scale: Should be between 60 – 70 daN.
3. Second adjustment:
3.1. Start and end timing weld power: Both potentiometers should be zero. Weld a sample. Now you should have minimum 1 mm unwelded in the beginning / end. If not, adjust S63 and S64 until you see it. Now we are sure that the copper wire can not get damaged due to burned beginning / end!
3.2. Reduce weld power: Probably the weld power is to high. Reduce, and check if the welding is still enough, or the metals start to break off. Go back to origin value.
3.3. Increase welding pressure: Go up in 5 daN steps, and proof the metals. Target has to be, that the zinc – craters around the welded areas are getting reduced. This means that the metals got melted closer to their contact – point.
3.4. Increase weld speed: Turn the potentiometer 10 by 10 units (not over 30 for galvanized metals!), and weld some metals. Possibly you may adjust S63 and S64 again.
4. Others:
4.1. Two copper wires: If you can not get successful, use two copper wires (control also on the second wire the profile!), and weld some metals. If the wire breaks has stopped, send us more pictures of your last welded metals. Now you can continue your production, while we can rethink next steps to help you.
NOTE:
A minimum of marks will always be left on the canbody, because the CM21 is a semiautomatic welding machine with a clamping system.
But you can minimize the marks on the canbody, we can show you how.
Loose all four allan screws.
Adjust the nose/headpiece through the excenter with a screwdriver and then tighten all screws again.
Possible causes:
Use a common Ohmmeter, as you can see on the picture.
Measure the resistance between left carbide ring and main aluminum plate.
The measuring result on the Ohmmeter must be endless!
Measure the resistance between left carbide ring and main aluminum plate.
The measuring result on the Ohmmeter must be endless!

It may happen that an air regulator is damaged/not working properly, due to
water or dirt.
Copper wire profile: 2.05 +/- 0.03 mm
Welding roller grooves: width 2.10 mm, depth 0.40 mm
Edges should not be sharp, grind them manually!
Welding speed: See display frequency inverter, 50 – 55Hz (10 – 12m/min)
Above 12m/min micro leakages can appear!
Welding pressure: 1.7 – 2.0 bar (35-40 daN/kg)
– Set the ball joints on both central pressure cylinder (piston in top position):
Measure from end of ball joint to the begin of piston, it must be 22 mm or until the steel bar (of pressure link) is laying parallel to the base alu-plate
=> Target: Distance between pressure link rollers and groove of clamp bar around 0.5 mm
– Z-bar must be mounted parallel to top alu-plate
=> Measure with depth gauge left and right!
=> Measure the isolation between Z-bar and top alu-plate!
– Precise guide-bar (underneath Z-bar) must be positioned and mounted parallel to Z-bar => Measure with depth gauge left and right!
– Mount lower weld arm to Z-bar
=> Measure the isolation between Z-bar and lower weld arm
– Mount the lower weld roll, and set the height: Top point of weld roll (incl. copper wire) must be on the same height with center of Z-bar, or bottom side of upper Z-bar groove!
=> Depending on form of can body after welding!
– Move the upper excenter-shaft (rear axle of big alu-block which holds the upper weld roll), until the center of the upper weld roll stays around 1 – 2 mm behind the center of the lower weld roll
=> Helps to keep the overlap!
– Mount the small bearings on to inner and outer little shafts on the Z-bar
=> Lateral play of bearing shall be around 0.1 mm
– Mount the (brown) bottom base-plate onto both precise-carriages
=> Make sure that all 4 pins in the base-plate touch the precise-carriages inside!
– Start to mount the watercooled clamp-bars:
Place the outer / bottom clamp-bar ontop of bearings, move the bar forward and backward, and check whether the bearings are running freely in the groove
– Mount the alu-support between clamp-bar and bottom base-plate, and tight all four M6 screws slightly. Move the carriage forward and backward, and tight the screws step by step.
=> Whenever the clamp-bar is tightened, and the carriage is moving forward and backward, there should no resistance be felt during movement!
– Same procedure with inner bottom clamp-bar. Before lock the rear screws, mount the stainless steel plate on the front end of both bars and make sure that both bars are in line! Do not fully tight the M5 lock-nuts!
– Set the upper front pressure link:
Rear turning point must be free of play, see the assembling drawing for further information
– Tight the center grub screw M8, until they touch the Z-bar slightly
– Measure with depth gauge between front end of pressure link to Z-bar: Result should be 18.2 +/- 0.1 mm. If you have a different measure, change them by moving the grub screws.
– Place the outer upper clamp bar, move both sliding rollers from both pressure links into the groove, and tight both M6 screws on the rear vertical support rail. Measure between clamp bar and Z-bar should be 30.3 mm, see also in the assembling drawing. If not yet, loose the M6 screws and move the support again.
– Same procedure with inner upper clamp-bar.
– Connect the cylinder (piston in top position) wit the upper clamping bar, and adjust the ball joint until the distance between the upper and lower clamping-bar measures 1.0 +0.2/-0.0 mm
– Same setting to be done with the cylinder inside.
– If everything is fine the gap between the clamp bars in the front in and outside is also 1.0 +0.2/0.0 mm
– Finally check the clamping-force efficiency of the inner and outer clamping pairs: Air-pressure between 3 to 4 bars.
– Place a tin plate in the outer inner Z-bar groove, close the bars, and try to pull the tin plate out of groove by hand
=> The force on both sides should be as equal as possible.

How is the distance between the clutchring and the switch?
Trigger the clutch by hand and check if the red LED light comes on.
This is the LED, which should light up.
Try if you can hold the polygon shaft by hand tightly and trigger the clutch and therefore an immediate machine stop.
If you need to alter the torque of the clutch, do the following:
Loose both black screws of the guiding channel.
Pull the channel to the back of the machine.
Now you can see the clutch.
The basic setting should be 70 NM – see the red mark.
Loose the countersunk screw and take the screw out.
Turn the clutch clockwise with a special tool or a drift punch and a plastic hammer.
You can reduce or increase the torque by steps off 5 Nm, in order to fit the countersunk screw in.
(Picture shows a reduction to 50 Nm)
Now push back the channel back into the machine and tighten the black screws.

Replace the belt dogs:
Turn the polygon shaft until the belt dog is easy accessable from side of the machine.
Loose the two screws on each belt dog.
Then replace the belt dogs, be careful that belt dog, is correctly placed in the timing belt, as shown in the picture.
NOTE:
If you need to place the belt dogs, in a new location, due to a damaged belt area, make sure that the distance x is always the same around the entire belt loop.
Also make sure that inside and outside belt dogs are corresponding to each other!
Exchange the body transport belt
Turn the polygon shaft until a belt dog is inline with reference 3.
Take off the bracket (see picture),in the back of the front plate.
Then mount the screw loosely to side plate of the synchrostar unit.
Slide the slot of the bracket around the crank handle and tighten the screw.
Now you have to release the tension of the synchrostar belt, by loosing the M12 screw.
Then release the tension of the body transport belts. The white arrow shows you where you can release the tension of the outside belt. The inner belt has the same feature.
Untighten the two set screws.
Loose sligthly the three M8 screws (1) first, then undo the M8 screw sligthly too (2). Now you can release the clamping force by turning the M8 nut (3) a little bit.
Now, you should be able to move shaft to the front of the machine and to replace both body transport belts.
NOTE:
Do not loose any other screws, as for example the red marked ones in the picture.
After you have replaced the body transport belts, follow the above instruction in the reverse sequence.
NOTE:
When you push back the polygon shaft and clamp it, make sure that you keep a clearance of x=1mm as shown in the picture.

Remove the guiding channel to side of the machine. Then remove the wire from the welding rolls and unlock the tooling plate and slide it to the front.
Remove the 8 screws (see arrows) from the welding arm.
Be aware that the screws at the inside are shorter than those at the outside. Do not loose the two o-rings in between.
Then undo the eight screws from the cover insulation. Get somebody to assist you to hold to welding arm (heavy).
Remove the Z-bar from the welding arm and clean the welding arm with a dry rag.
NOTE:
When you mount the new Z-bar with the insulation, make sure you put some grease on the surface of both insulations and align the Z-bar centered with the depth gauge to the welding arm.
IMPORTANT:
Put also some grease all around these insulated screws.
When you mount the welding arm, do also align the arm properly with the depth gauge to the window.
IMPORTANT:
When you mount the welding arm to machine, make sure you are using the shorter screws for the inside! Otherwise the ceramic guiding might get damaged. Do not forget the two o-rings!
We hope your replacement work was successful. Thank for your support!
Cause:
Corrective:
This is the result of a wrong flexer setting!
Open the rollformer and you undo the screw on the right handside of the “Flexer”. 
Measure with a ruler the actual position of the flexing wedge.
On the other side of the flexer, you can alter the position of flexer with the M8 screw. Choose a lower position for less flexing.
NOTE:
With more flexing the sheet comes out of the flexer station with less prebending.
If you do less flexing, means that the sheet comes out of the flexer station with more prebending.
NOTE:
After adjusting the flexer, you might have to adjust the rounding slighty!
For more information regarding the flexer and rollformer setting check our manual book 2 chapter 5.4.
1 or 2 (sender/receiver) sensors are fitted behind the first pair of rollers to recognize double sheets.
Sensor in the lower part.
A pneumatic cylinder operates the ejection flap.
The double sheets detected by the sensor are diverted into this channel by means of a switch point.
Setting the double sheet sensor
B30
The evaluation unit for the double sheet sensor is located in either the control box (illustration) or in the immediate vicinity of the rollformer, on the feeder side.
To set the sheet thickness, take a single sheet and lay it on the support rails in front of the first roller pair. You can also open the roll- former and lay a sheet into the rear area by hand. Then close the rollformer again.
Now turn the single sheet back and forward in the first roller pair by hand with the help of the belt.
The two green LEDs „Power“ and „Relay“ should now be lit up on the evaluation unit.
If the red LED „Double sheet“ is lit up, you must carry out a correction.
Turn the left-hand screw „Thickness Adjust“ clockwise until the red LED goes out and the green LED „Relay“ lights up. Add 1-2 additional turns in the clockwise direction.
Now carry out the same procedure with two sheets (double sheet).
The red LED „Double sheet“ should now be lit up.
The cylinder should now also be activated. It will be reset again when the sheets are removed.
Do not turn the right-hand screw „Delay adjust“; this is used for the delay of the cylinder stroke.

The position of the infeed arm might have shifted, due to a crash or loose screws!
double check the correct position.
Therefore insert „0“ to the can height setting and press „GO“.
NOTE:
If you ever changed the overtravel setting in the tuning level, set this value to „1“.
Now measure the distance from the infeed arm to center of the welding roll.
The correct reading should be: 216 mm!
NOTE:
With this reading the canbody will have 1 mm overtravel.
Find the correct position by undoing the four fixing screws of the infeed arm!

The center of the calibration crown (tooling) should be
X = 2 – 3 mm
behind the center of the pendulum roller head.
he screw with the lock nut has a red seal and must not be changed. This is used to fix the position on the longitudinal axis of the tool carrier with regard to the welding centre.
NOTE:
If you have to change the setting of the calibration crown, you have to loose the lock nut and adjust with the M10 screw accordingly.
In it’s uppermost position, the sucker should lie slightly above the sheet inlet, between the first pair of rollers.
If the setting has to be changed, the screw on the setting ring will have to be loosened.
NOTE:
Further information regarding the exchange of sucker unit of the feeder can be found in Chapter 6. Changeover.
To perform a good timing, the best way is to disconnect the air hose of the cylinder and block it. In that way you can manually lift the sucker unit and find the correct timing.
If you move down the sucker unit to the blank, the vacuum will be activated. Then move up the unit together with the blank until the vacuum breaks.
The correct timing of “breaking” the vacuum is, when the blank just arrives between the roller pair.
In contrast to other machines, the roller head offset is fixed in machines of the
X- series and is therefore not adjustable.
If you have, due to whatever reason to adjust this setting, first make sure what the result of the offset is.
To adjust this offset, you have to loose the two M8 screws of the holder from the welding pressure cylinder.
Additionally you have to loose four M6 screws (1- two are shown), which are fixing the plate (2). Now you can shift the position of pendulum roller slightly in the various hole play.
NOTE:
Do not make any adjustments on this shaft!
Double-check the offset value again and tighten all screws securely.
The sensors B1 and B2, which are mounted to main machine plate, need to be readjusted.
Here you have another viewpoint of the two sensors.
The reason, why the wire is still running is, that a distance “x” in the picture is too big. Therefore reduce the clearance for both sensors B1 and B2 too a minimum of 0.1mm.
This might be possible, because the triggering is inverse (this means with a minimal distance to the sensor, it results a max. frequency.
NOTE:
The positions of the screws for the sensors B19, B24 and B78 have been set in the factory, and should not be adjusted. If something has changed nevertheless, you should follow the detailed description below.
B19
Three sensors are located on the right near the feeder drive M8.
Sensor B19 (left) controls the vacuum valve of the suction beam.
After „breaking“ the vacuum, the position of the screwhead for the sensor B19 must be active. Therefore the position should be chosen between „breaking“ the vacuum and the lowest position of the sucker unit while traveling down.
B19
The correct setting for B19 – active, should give you distance of approx. 25mm from center of the hole to the block.
B24
A hexagonal screwhead activates the sensor B24 (center), which then opens the channel flap.
NOTE:
The opening time of the channel flap, can be
extended through software (see Chapter 4.5.2. in Book 1)
B78
A hexagonal screw activates the sensor B78 (right), which provides the timing for the feeder (synchronization)!
NOTE:
This signal comes from the PLC in the elevating platform version, so no B78 is used in such an application.
The „active“position of the screwhead for the sensor B78, can vary depending on the rollforming speed.
B24 B78
The signal of B78, always follows the signal of B24, that means that the flap must be closed (B24), before the body pusher starts (B78). The distance, resp. the angle between the two screwheads is fix (at approx. 25 – 45°).
B19 B24 B78
The correlation of the three screwheads. View from toward the electrical cabinet. This setting is based on:
Can diameter 66 – 99mm
120 cans/min
Rollformer speed of 190m/min (49.5Hz)
With a higher rollforming speed, or if the blanc feeding is too late, or you get a damaged blank beginning, you have to move both screwheads slightly clockwise.
With a lower the speed of the rollformer and jams the blanks from the backtravelling body pusher, you have to move anticlockwise.
NOTE:
Make sure that the “activator” screws are tightened and locked and not touching the sensors.
NOTE:
A wrong setting of one of the sensors (B19/B24/B79) will not show a direct related error message.
An incorrect setting of B19 will cause destacking problems and the incorrect setting of B24 & B79 will cause synchronization problems.

Possible cause:
This can only happen on higher can heights. The canbody to be welded, is extending with its back into the rollforming area, while the next tin plate is coming out of rollformer and touches the backside of the tin plate.

Checklist to avoid micro leaks
Micro leaks can occur within the seam and beside the seam – especially on cold-formed areas like necking, beading, flanging or seaming -, even if all above mentioned basic parameters & settings seems to be correct.
Micro leaks can have various sources: Wrong settings on the welder, tin-plate parameters which support such faults, worn or wrong machineries in the downline, or tin-plate parameters which do not fit to beader, necker, flanger and seamer.
For a better visual understanding put the faulty-can bodies in a water bath, and inspect the leaking area by a microscope. Store the pictures if possible!

The recipe helps to adapt the speed of the incoming can into welding roller and the actual welding speed. In the best case, those speeds are equal.
Below you find a table of this recipe in steps of 10 mm can height.
Turn the wheel of the synchrostar, that the pusher finger is as close as possible to the welding roll.
Measure now the distance from the top of the pusher finger to the center of the welding roll.
Distance = Can height – Overtravel Example:
Canheight: 122mm Overtravel: 4.8 mm
Distance: 117.2 mm
Possible cause:
This problem occurs, if the main switch of machine is turned on, but the machine is not running production for a longer period. The cooling plate of servo drive is heating up, because the water valve is turned off during this time, to prevent condensation water.
Turn off the main switch, if you don’t run the machine for a longer time.
To get rid off the error with overtemp. servo drives you can go to the „Tuning page“. Press the button to switch on the main valve for the cooling system manually. Keep this button pressed for a few minutes, the system will cool down and you can start the machine normally. If you close the “Tuning page”, the main valve is switching back to automatic mode, controlled by „Production ON/OFF“.

Below you find a table of this recipe in steps of 10 mm in can height.
Turn the wheel of the synchrostar, so that the pusher finger is as closeto the welding roll as possible .
Now measure the distance from the top of the pusher finger to the center of the welding roll.
Distance = Can height – Overtravel
Example:
Can-height: 122 mm, Over-travel: 4.8 mm

Safety Data Sheet Cooling Lubricant
NOTE:
The safety data sheet of cooling lubricant you will find on CD-Rom in Book 5 in file „Cooling unit“
The center of the calibration crown (tooling) should be X = 2 – 3 mm behind the center of the pendulum roller head.
To adjust the position, tip the „tool out“ symbol. 
Then you have to loosen the two M10 screws on top of the tooling plate.
Then you loosen the M6 counternut (1) below the plate, then you can adjust the position with the M6 screw (2). When you turn clockwise, you will reduce the distance, when you turn counterclockwise you increase the distance between the calibration crown and the pendulum roller head.
Tighten the counternut (1) again and then tip „tool in“ to check the position. 
The correct setting!
An alternative spot to measure the correct distance is below the tooling plate:
X = 82 – 83 mm.
Remote maintenance:
In the electrical cabinet a modem with a remote maintenance adapter is integrated. Therefore you can do small changes over the phone line.
Recommended is an analog phone line with a direct phone number, with no internal connection through a switch board.
CAUTION:
Disconnect the phone line, if not in service! The remote maintenance system depends on a very good quality phone network. A bad network will make the service impossible.
NOTE:
There are two possibilities to do maintenance work or updates to the PLC Software.

PLC Software Siemens Step 7:
The Siemens PLC is programed by the Siemens PLC Software Step 7TM, the panel (Touchscreen) by WinCC flexibleTM.
The following requirements are necessary to provide this service:
– Notebook with Software Step 7TM and
WinCC flexibleTM from Siemens
– MPI/DP (Profibus) interface
– Technical engineer with the software
knowlegde of Step 7TM + WinCC flexibleTM.
CAUTION:
If you change the software without prior consultation of CAN MAN, the works guarantee becomes void.

The instructions below show you how to connect the following signals: a) Line control b) Error powder unit and c) Release powder
Signal: line control
In order to switch off the downline due to an error, the PLC has a prepared input. To use this input, we need a potential-free signal from the downline, which is closed when the line is ready. Use the terminal E5.1 to connect the line control.
As soon as an error occurs, the destacking of the sheets stops and after an adjustable delay the wire-run and the remaining drives. The canbody transport continues to run slowly. This mode plus the flashing of the key „Production ON“ shows the operator the status of the line stop.
ATTENTION:
Machine begins to produce independently again, respectively after the release of the line control.
This input should be connected the same way as the line control. Here as well we need a potential-free relay contact of the powder unit. But this contact needs to be open, if there is any error. This signal needs to be connected to E126.7.
The production shuts off, if an error occurs. After that the operator needs to switch on the machine.
Signal: Release powder
In order to switch on the powder, we provide a change-over contact. The contact switches as soon as the production or a single can is triggered. In order to provide enough time for the initialization of the powder, the destacking is delayed by an adjustable time. Before you connect this signal, you have to remove the comb bridge (1) and the link (2), in order to make the contact potential-free.
Use the terminal K6.2 (A124.2).
NOTE:
Consult the electrical scheme of your welder to double-check the various input signals. In case you are not successful with the connection, contact a CAN MAN electrician.
Cause 1:
The setting of t1 and t2 is wrong. If the timing is wrong the PM cannot execute the signal, which is necessary to memorize the canbodies in the reject unit and to start the record of the graph.
Setting of t1 and t2:
t1 defines the starting point for the reduced current time window. 
t2 is the time, where the reduced current windows ends. t2–t1= thus is the timespan for the reduced current, therefore t2 > t1! 
NOTE:
The value of t2 and t1 needs to be smaller as the cycle of one single can.
For example:
A production of 300/min. corresponds to a cycle time of 200 ms/can. Production of 600/min. corresponds to 100ms/can.
NOTE:
For a more detailed explanation of timing t1 and t2, consult your manual book 2, chapter 5.6.5. “Setting of Parameter t1 & t2 for reduced Current and Overlap Check“.
Cause 2:
Check the inductive proximity switch B64 at the final pusher unit for function, operating distance and defect.
B64
Final pusher (Synchrostar II): Sensor B64.
Description:
Inductive proximity sensor for embeddable mounting.
Polarity: PNP
Output: NO. or NC.
Operating distance: 2mm
Cause 3:
Check the tool switch B6 in the calibration tool for function, operating distance and defect.
B6
The position of the welding sensor B6, can be almost flush. Just make sure that you do not get scratches on the canbodies.
The height of the sensor can be adjusted here (see arrow).
Inductive Sensor (magnetic field resistant)
Mounting mode: flush
Function principle: inductive/normally open Rated operating distance: 3 mm
NOTE:
If you do not use the panel for a longer period (several weeks), the device should be turned off on the backside. Otherwise the internal battery will discharge and will get damaged!
If you push the button on the right side, you are able to see the status of the integrated battery and optional available second battery.
The optional second battery is located at the back of the device.
