Probable Causes (ranked)

Fix Steps

  1. 1 Check turntable VFD display for fault code — clear and attempt restart
  2. 2 Inspect turntable area for physical obstructions — remove any product, pallet debris, or foreign objects
  3. 3 With no load on the turntable, verify it rotates freely by pushing it by hand
  4. 4 Check turntable drive chain/belt — inspect for break, excessive slack, or damage
  5. 5 If turntable is hard to rotate by hand, inspect the turntable bearing — plan for replacement if seized
  6. 6 Verify VFD parameters are correct — compare to commissioning sheet or backup parameter file

Field Trick

Stretch wrapper turntable bearings live in the worst possible environment — they sit on the floor, get hit by forklifts, and never get lubricated. Every 6 months, jack up the turntable and spin it by hand. If it feels gritty or doesn't coast, grease it or replace it. A $300 bearing replacement is cheaper than $3000 in overtime from wrapper downtime during peak shipping.
