SUMMARY
The discussion centers on troubleshooting pressure gauge issues in a compressed air machine, specifically a cigarette filter maker. The pressure gauges are malfunctioning when attached to the machine, but function correctly on other lines. Key factors include the absence of an air tank, the pressure range of the machine (10mbar to 130mbar), and the gauge's range (0mbar to 180mbar). Potential causes for the malfunction include blockages in the air line, closed isolation valves, or inadequate pressure supply.
