which is set by the internal parameter.

E Mold opening decompression position:it’s the switching position of mold opening from
low speed to high speed,usually this value is set same as mold clamping high pressure
mold locking position C. Before this position,only small pump is active,if this position is
set to 0,opening decompression is bypassed. This position can’t be set to 0 in normal
condition,always set it properly to achieve open decompression.

F Clamp must run with low pressure and low speed in last opening step,this is to achieve
stable stop position,adjust high speed to low speed position so that the clamp open
operation can be transited smoothly from high speed to low speed before stopping.

J ROBOT SIGNAL PT./T.:When the mold is opened to the set position or greater than
mold open end set position,computer will output a signal (I/O 196) to robot interface to
trigger picking up of the finished parts. The second set point is robot signal check timer,
robot must give a signal to allow mold close within interval time or robot signal check
time.
Case 1:Interval timer >= robot signal timer:next cycle starts when interval timer expired
and robot enable mold close signal is on,otherwise alarm no.36 is fired.

Case 2:Interval timer < robot signal timer:next cycle starts when robot enable mold close
signal is on before robot signal timer expired,otherwise alarm no.36 is fired.

Set interval timer = 0 and appropriate robot signal timer,this will initiate next cycle start
once robot enable mold close signal is on.

K It must be set ON if machine runs with robot.

◇The position of clamp close from low pressure to high pressure position is
the male and female mold halves are just contacted +3.0~5.0.
CAUTION ◇ The position of clamp open low speed to high speed position is the male

eliminate product warpage and increase finished parts reproducibility, mold
structures has to be suitable for compression sequences.

Set A OFF, B position to 0.0 when it is not used.

A INJ. END MOLD COMPRESS: when set ON, compression sequences start at
transfer position, mold lock pressure increases according to setup point, hence
clamping force also increases to compress molded parts.
B COMPRESS START INJ.PT.: compression sequences start when injection
position reached this set position, mold lock pressure increases according to setup
point, hence clamping force also increases to compress molded parts.
C V%: speed command of mold closed。
D PBar: pressure command for mold closed, it must be bigger one after another.

Compression sequences run according to speed and pressure commands,when actual lock-up pressure
reached setup pressure,sequence shifts to next step.

1. INJ. SPEED < > SECTION can be set on the INJECTION PAR. screen.
2. It is recommended to set low speed to 10~20%. 3.0~10.0 mm before P/V TRANS. POINT
position.
3. It is recommended that the pressure before P/V TRANS. POINT should be the reading of
actual maximum injection pressure plus 10 bars.
4. All pumps are active before P/V TRANS. POINT while only small pump is active after P/V
TRANS. POINT thus reduces energy consumption.
5. If P/V TRANS. POINT is not reached before INJ. MONITOR T. times up,alarm is fired.

/ P/V TRANS. POINT


1. P/V TRANS. POINT: One or more of PT mm,TIME or P bar must be selected to control
P/V TRANS. POINT,any one condition is made,injection filling process will be switched to
holding process.
4-20
V3.0
Injection Molding Machine Chapter 4

2. PT mm: 92~98% of the entire injection travel is the approximate position for P/V TRANS.
POINT. In the case of high injection speed,uses small value of 92%,in the case of slow
injection speed, higher value of 98% shall be used.
Method for obtaining the P/V TRANS. POINT: First of all,set the pressure holding TIME of
all sections to be 0,change P/V TRANS. POINT PT mm(e.g.,the injection ending position
without pressure holding process),so that the cavities can be fully filled but parts are with
serious shrinkage,this is the ideal P/V TRANS. POINT.

P Holding pressure control


1. Pressure holding V % is usually set at 10~20%,and shall not set to 0%.
2. Set the pressure holding TIME to 0 can reduce the sections of holding pressure. Or the
holding pressure sections required can be directly set on the INJECTION PAR. screen.
3. To reduce the INJ. HOLD PRESS < > SECTION according to the solidification process
of the product thus reducing the stress of the product.
4. CUSHION MONITOR: When set on,the injection end position will be compared with the
low and high cushion limit every shot,if the end position is within the limits,parts will be
seen as good,if not,part is seen as bad,bad parts counter is increased by one and an
alarm will be fired.
If the total bad parts counter is reached,production is stopped.

USA machines ranging from 60E to 250E,top guard with limit switch is fitted over mould
area,mould setup mode is activated by following conditions.

1 When fitting mold,if rear operator gate is opened,pump will be shut off and alarm be fired,
by opening front operator gate can disable buzzer sound temporarily but alarm condition
still exists.

2 With both front operator gate and rear operator are closed and DIE HEIGHT ADJ. function
is on,opening top guard will not shut off pump,this condition is taken as MODE SETUP
MODE,in this mode,clamp close and ejector advance will be forced to run in low
speed/pressure only,regardless of what clamp/ejector settings.

3 For safety reason,in mold setup mode,if pump is off by pushing pump key by purpose, top
guard must be closed again in order to re-start pump.

4 If top guard is opened while DIE HEIGHT ADJ. function is off,pump will be shut off and

5 Molding operations
After testing of manual operation,semi-auto operation and auto operation,molding operation can be
performed.

5.1 Preparation before molding operation


After dry running,before molding operation,confirm the following items again:
★Clamp open operation has been completed,machine stays at clamp open stop position.
★Charge operation has been completed.
★Clamp open stroke is sufficient for taking out/falling the product.
★Charge stroke has met required shot volume.
★Injection command has been properly set. Nozzle has touched sprue of mold.
★Ejector stroke has met the requirement of product.

CAUTION Please confirm that position of carriage advance, carriage advanced end position have
to be set 1mm ahead before nozzle touched the mold.
Otherwise,early injection will result in material leakage,causes damage to nozzle,
heater band/thermocouple.

5.2 Check points before molding operation


Prior to molding operation,confirm the following items first:
★Confirm all safety guards/gates are all in proper position with normal function.
★Confirm mold cooling pipes have been installed without leakage.
★Confirm mold cavities have been cleaned without foreign objects.
4-58
V3.0
Injection Molding Machine Chapter 4

★Confirm no unnecessary tools,foreign objects on the machine and circumference of the machine has
been cleaned without any litter.
★Confirm barrel temperature has been proper set and cold start protection time has met the
requirement of the set value.
★Confirm material hopper has been filled with sufficient plastic material.

5.3 Setting of molding condition


AHeater temperature control:(refer to page 4-24 of chapter 4 for setup).
Heating zones are : H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6(model above 350E ), usually, H1 has the
highest setting value, then, lowering in sequence to the lowest setting value of fifth zone.

B Injection pressure:(refer to page 4-20 of chapter 4 for setup).


Injection pressure is divided into 9 sections of filling processes and 5 sections of holding processes.
Usually,in filling process set suitable injection pressure ,while gradually decrease holding pressure in
holding process.

C Injection speed:(refer to page 4-20 of chapter 4 for setup).


Injection speed is divided into 9 sections to control the speed for filling plastic material into the mold,
usually,low speed is required before holding transfer point,then adjustment is depended on molding
condition.

D Injection monitor time:(refer to page 4-204 of chapter 4 for setup).


It’s the time required for the screw advances from starting position of injection to holding transfer
position,usually injection monitor time must be set longer than the actual injection time,failure to
reach to the holding transfer position within the time will result in alarm.

E Cooling time:(refer to page 4-20 of chapter 4 for setup).


Cooling time starts timing when injection finished, it varies with such factors as plastic material,
injection speed, mold temperature, wall thickness of the molding product, adjustment is depending
on molding condition.

F Charge speed:(refer to page 4-26 of chapter 4 for setup).


The faster the charge speed is, the higher of the shearing heat generated. However,if the speed is too
fast,the plasticizing condition and color-mixing ability will be lowered,if the speed is too slow,the
low shearing heat will result in insufficiency of plastic material heating thus making higher viscosity
for short shot. Therefore,in the beginning of operation,lower speed shall be set,then,adjustment shall
be made depending on molding condition.

4-59
V3.0
Injection Molding Machine Chapter 4

5.4 Start molding


Upon completion of sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3,preparations shall be made for before production,usually
semi-auto operation shall be confirmed before change to auto operation..

CAUTION Please confirm once again that sufficient plastic material has been available in the
hopper and material type is correct.

5.5 Material or color change


Upon material or color change,the automatic purge function provides the convenience for easy
operation.
AAfter setting each timer (recommended values shown in table below),retract carriage to proper
position.
BPress F3 barrel purge function to start this function.

CAUTION Please confirm once again that sufficient plastic material has been available in the
hopper and material type is correct.

CAUTION Please confirm that operation mode is manual, otherwise, no actuation can be
made.
