Abstract

A method of managing a machine for manufacturing tobacco products (2) includes the steps of monitoring the operation of single devices and / or units making up the machine (3; 4), and supplying error signals (48) to a master control unit (46) to indicate faults or malfunctions in any of the devices; on receiving an error signal (48), the control unit (46) responds automatically by stopping the machine (3; 4), activating a step in which obstructions are removed and foreign matter cleared from the faulty or malfunctioning device, and finally, with normal operating conditions restored, restarting the machine (3; 4).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of operating a machine for the manufacture of tobacco products, usually cigarettes. [0002] Advantageously, the invention has been applied in all the machines of the cigarette production line, namely, the cigarette making machine, the filter attaching machine operating in conjunction with the cigarette making machine, and also the packers by means of which cigarettes are packed into individual cigarette packs machine, and a cartoning machine by means of which individual cigarettes are packed into multiples. [0003] In the description below express reference is made to a cigarette making machine in association with a filter attachment machine, but this is not meant to be limiting in scope. Background technique [0004] During normal operation of these machines, malfunctions may occur and cigarettes may not be formed properly. Purely by way of example, the type of failure in question could be that the glue ap...
