Abstract

The present invention relates to a method (300) for adjusting parameter settings for a filling station (106) in a packaging machine (100), wherein the filling station (106) comprises: a pump (200) comprising a hollow body (202), an inlet valve (204a), an outlet valve (204b) and a piston (206). The method (300) comprising: obtaining (S302), via one or more sensors, sensor data relating to the inlet valve (204a) and the outlet valve (204b) respectively, wherein the sensor data is indicative of a position and/or speed of the inlet valve (204a) and the outlet valve (204b); identifying (S304) a first point in time at which the sensor data indicates that the position and/or speed of the inlet valve (204a) reaches a first threshold value; identifying (S306) a second point in time at which the sensor data indicates that the position and/or speed of the outlet valve (204b) reaches a second threshold value; identifying (S308) a third point in time at which a movement of the piston (106) between a volume-reducing position and a volume-increasing position is started; based on a comparison between the first and third point in time, and a comparison between the second and third point in time, determining (S310) an actuation time point of the inlet valve (204a) and/or an actuation time point of the outlet valve (204b); and updating (S312) the parameter settings used by a control unit (112) of the filling station (106) based on the actuation time point determined for the inlet valve (204a) and/or the actuation time point determined for the outlet valve (204b).
