6
 the medium sized machines adopt combination bodies that cannot be lifted

45
for the entire part. For the lifting, the locking part and injection part shall be
separated and lifted separately with the separation and lifting methods
referred in the following chapters;

64
 the large sized machines adopt complete-disassembly mode, which
requires to lift after disassembling all the clamping parts and lift the entire
injection part.

90
 Please be cautious in the lifting and do not stand under the crane!
00
 Both lifting and transportation shall be done by operators who are familiar
with mechanical dismounting!

 Before lifting, the movable platen shall be at the minimum mold thickness
07

locking position!

 Before lifting, the injection parts of medium and mainframes need to fix the
rear brackets of the rails and the fuselage (Figure 2.1-1) with the transition
22

pieces, positioning pins, etc. The clamping parts must pass through the tail
plate and the die thickness stop blocks (Figure 2.1-2A) or connected to
clamping body with the lifting connection board (Figure 2.1-2B).

After installation and before commissioning and operation, remove the transition
20

piece and the positioning pin from the injection part (Figure 2.1-1); at the same

2.1.8 Installation and Spouting of Foundation Bolt


The excessive vibration of middle-large size machines during the operation may
20

cause displacement. Use foundation bolts to fix the machine. Installation and
spouting steps are as follows:

1) Steadily lift the part to be 500 mm off the ground, place the foundation bolts
from bottom to top, put on the flat washer, spring washer and nut, rotate
the nut to make the end face of the bolt to be 3 times screw pitch higher
than the upper end face of the nut.

2) Place the machine on the mat and make sure the foundation bolt aligning
to the preformed hole. Then close up the injection part and the clamping
2.1-12 EN- MA
Volume 2 User Manual

part according to the method in 2.1.2. After that, based on the Section
2.1.9, make coarse adjustment on machine level, movable and fixed
platens and the coaxiality between the nozzle and the mold location hole.

3) Upon the confirmation of conformance, carry out concrete spouting on the


foundation preformed hole to fix the foundation bolts.

4) After a period of maintenance, make sure the spouted concrete has set

6
(maintenance period in summer is about ten days, and about fifteen days

45
in winter). Then, based on the Section 2.1.9, make fine adjustment on
machine level, index of movable and fixed platens and the coaxiality of the
nozzle. After the confirmation and data recording, use a leveraging rod to
screw up the foundation bolts and nuts to fix the machine. (See the

2.2.4.5 Related Factors that Influence Mold Functions


00
 Temperature difference between moving mold and fixed mold: the
temperature difference between moving mold and fixed mold will lead to
different thermal expansions of the mold, which will further cause
07

unexpected wear or damage to the mold during operation or may cause


displacement of mold joints;

 Higher mold temperature; higher mold temperature may be as a result of


invalid alignment of the mold caused by thermal expansion. In particular,
22

asymmetrical linear fixed points are especially severe, which may lead to
coaxiality displacement of moving mold and fixed mold. Aiming at this
situation, lift the mold up to the precise positioning position with the
hoisting machine after heating, loosen the fixed bolt, repeat mold
20

installation and release pressure for three times repeatedly.

 Parallelism and height evenness of mold thermal baffle; their deviation


may lead to heterogeneous distribution of mold pressure and further result
in burr and rag of products and increase wear to the thermal baffle.
Therefore, the height and parallelism of the thermal baffle should be
checked constantly during use.

 Non-centrosymmetric mold needs greater clamp force; the farther the


asymmetric mold cavity is away from the center, the greater the clamp
2.2-12 EN-MA
Volume 2 User Manual

force will need. Therefore, the mold had better be designed into symmetric
structure and as close to the center of the mold as possible.

 The final user shall ensure that the integrator of the mould is responsible
for the movements of ejectors and/or cores do not create a dangerous
run-down.

2.2.5.2 Hydraulic Oil Temperature


20

The best working temperature of hydraulic oil is 35-40°C. If the temperature is


below 25°C, the viscosity of oil is too high; if the temperature is above 55°C, the
viscosity of oil is too low.

In order that the machine can be at the best condition when starting injection
molding, machines with preheating function are recommended doing hydraulic oil
preheating if the oil temperature is below 25°C. The preheating can be controlled
by setting temperature parameters on the computer (servo preheating is an
optional function, which is suitable for machines used in cold areas and clients who

2.3.4 Lubrication and Maintenance

64
In order to ensure of normal operation of machine, moving parts of the machine are
equipped with lubrication devices and lubrication points (please refer to the
lubrication diagram for details). Especially for the mold close unit, the machine
90
adopts oil-impregnated copper bush (aimed at grease lubrication models) and
auto-lubrication system. Next is the introduction to the auto-lubrication system of
mold close unit.
00
2.3.4.1 Components and Features of Lubrication System
The lubrication system is composed of lubrication oil pump, lubrication duct,
lubrication oil dispenser and lubrication points. The lubrication oil goes through
07

from the oil pump to the lubrication duct dispenser then to all lubrication points to
lubricate all moving parts of the injection molding machine.

The lubrication system is controlled by the computer and monitors the pressure
22

relay through the computer, thus to monitor the lubrication status of the lubrication
system. During lubrication, the computer will alarm and inform you of poor
lubrication when the oil tank lacks oil, oil-lines leak, oil pump filter screen is clogged
or the oil pressure is insufficient. Please check the reasons of poor lubrication and
20

promptly add lubrication oil or repair it, so as to make sure that the lubrication of the
injection molding machine works well.

Please refer to the lubrication diagram for lubrication oil types recommended by the

2.3.4.2 Lubrication Principles


Lubrication Principles for Fixed-resistance Lubrication
System
The fixed-resistance lubricated injection molding machines are equipped with
damping distributor. When the lubrication oil pump works, along the oil ducts from

6
the entrance of the pump to all distributors accumulate lubrication oil with certain
pressure due to the damper. When the pressure of lubrication oil is above the

45
damping differential pressure, the lubrication will overcome damping and flow to all
lubrication points constantly until the lubrication time is up. Because damping holes
of the distributor can be different, the damping distributor ensures that the oil
quantity reached to all lubrication points is allocated according to needs. When the

64
pressure of the lubrication oil duct cannot reach the pressure set by the pressure
relay during lubrication time (or the lubrication alarm time), the machine will alarm
and warn you that there is something wrong with the lubrication system and you
have to repair it. 90

Lubrication Principles for Quantitative Pressurized


Lubrication System

6
The injection molding machines with quantitative pressurized lubrication are

45
equipped with quantitative pressurized distributor. When the oil pump works, the
pump exerts pressure on all distributors and press the lubrication oil at the upper
cavity of the quantitative distributor to all the lubrication points, thus to lubricate all
points evenly. When the pressure of the lubrication duct reaches the set pressure

64
of the pressure relay, the oil pump stops working, the computer starts lubrication
delay timing, and all distributors release pressure and add oil to the upper cavity
from the oil duct automatically. When the lubrication delay timing finishes, the oil
pump starts working again. On and on, until the total lubrication time is up. Because
90
oil discharge quantity of the distributor can be different, the quantitative distributor
ensures that the oil quantity reached to all lubrication points is allocated according
to needs. When the pressure of the lubrication oil duct cannot reach the pressure
set by the pressure relay during lubrication time (or the lubrication alarm time), the
00
machine will alarm and warn you that there is something wrong with the lubrication
system and you have to repair it.

2.3.4.3 Maintenance of Lubrication System

64
Do not use grease that has been polluted by water, steam, dust and sunlight.
90
It is required to regularly observe the working status of all lubrication points of the
injection molding machine during use. Pay attention to lubricating for enough time
to make sure every lubrication point of the whole lubrication system is well
lubricated. The lubrication mold shots (interval time) and each lubrication time can
00
be set through computer parameters (at lubrication bar at the computer internal
parameters screen), so we recommend not changing relevant lubrication
parameter settings roughly (the machine has been properly set before leaving the
factory, but users can change the lubrication mold shots as the case may be.
07

Generally, set fewer lubrication mold shots for new machines within six months and
set more according to actual situation after six months. Set few for large machines
and more for small machines). The lubrication time of the injection molding
machine with quantitative pressurized lubrication is actually the lubrication alarm
22

time. We recommend setting up longer lubrication time, so as to make sure there is


enough time for build-up of the pressure relay and to avoid false alarm caused
because the lubrication alarm time is too short.
20

Observe the working status of the lubrication system regularly to keep the
lubrication oil at an appropriate level in the oil tank. If poor lubrication is found in
normal times, lubricate promptly and check the working status of all lubrication
points to make sure the machine is lubricated well.

Due to different mechanical lubrication designs and models, the lubrication of

lubrication requirements specially designated by customers. The lubrication
principles, programs and parameters of these lubrication systems are different, so
please refer to Chapter 4.3.8 of Technical Manual Lubrication Instruction for details.

6
Unless the machine is insufficiently lubricated and needs lubricating, do not
arbitrarily press the manual lubrication button on the operational panel. That’s

45
because each press will release certain lubrication oil, which will be waste of oil and
pollute the environment.

If the computer prompts lubrication fault warning during lubrication, it is mainly

64
caused by insufficient oil in the lubrication oil tank or leakage of lubrication
pipelines. It is supposed to add lubrication oil or repair it promptly.
