(1) Assure the safety door to smoothly open and close.
(2) Find the damage reason (door, guide, wheel).
(3) Make clear of proper fitness of limit switches (screw, motivator)
2.1.1.3Attentions
(1) Do not remove or change the safety doors and limit switches,
because they will protect the safety of the operators.
(2) Repair the safety doors as quickly as possible when they have any
trouble.
2.1.2Emergency button
Use this button to stop the machine in case of emergency. If push it,
the oil pump motor will stop, the machine immediately stop, too. Reset it
by turning it around in right direction.
In case of no emergency but in order to stop oil pump motor under
2-1
the normal condition, use the select switch. After assuring all of other
switches to set up, push the emergency button to stop pump motor. (usage
means refer to Chapter 5)
2.2Mechanical safety interlock
Clamping safety interlock
Its structure drawing refers to the mechanical safety device of
mechanical assembling drawing.

action, the insurance platen will automatically fall down during the back
movement of the safety rod. So the insurance platen can prevent the
safety rod from moving forward and then stop the “open” action even
though the machine try to close the mould because of the trouble of the
electrical or hydraulic system.
Adjust the safety rod to keep its end and insurance platen level (see
the drawing of the mechanical safety device). The insurance platen can
fall down as the position of the “open” stop for simple molding or the
“close” sudden stop for insert molding. The use two nuts to tightly fix the
safety rod.

To guarantee the safety, assure that the insurance platen can automatically
fall down when the machine stop “open”.
Attention 2: Do not move the safety rod, insurance platen and safety
guard cover.
Attention 3: Don’t forget that the machine will lose function during
the machine stop halfway before stopping the “open”.
Attention 4: serious damage will happen if you do not these operation
rules. The machine will be out of order or have trouble.
2.3 Hydraulic safety interlock (Optional device)
Door valve (hydraulic insurance device)
This is one optional device. It’s also standard device for some
typical machines. The door valve break the hydraulic path of clamping
depending on hydraulic force.
Upon opening the safety door, the actuating cam pushes the door
valve, so the hydraulic path of clamping can be broken by hydraulic force
to protect the safety of person.
Examining (refer to the Chapter 5)
(1) Open the safety door. Check if the cam press the ejector rod of the
2-2
door valve to down-limit position.
(2) Close the safety door.
(3) Check whether the cam return the reset position, whether the
ejector rod return to upper-limit position.
(4) Start up the oil pump motor by one touch.
(5) Open the mould.
(6) Open the front safety (facing the operator) to any position, at the
same times close the limit switch with the safe state.
(7) Close the mould. If the machine can not close the mould, the
adjustment of the door valve is fine. If the machine can close the
mould, once again adjust the cam.
Ensure the safety of the operator when examining.

Even though one or two workers can easily quickly accomplish this
task, remember to remind the safety each during the fulfilling.
Attentions:
① Reassemble the barrel and screw on the order of opposite steps.
② If the bolts at the end of the barrel is too tight, the screw may be
damaged. If too loose, the material may leak.
Tighten up the bolts at the end of barrel.
①Evenly tighten up the diagonal bolts. Tighten each for many times.
②Apply proper torque.
③At last fully tighten up all of them.
4.10.1 Before removing
The PC and PVC resins can tick to the screw and barrel when
cooling due to their property of high viscosity. Specially for PC resin, the
metal face maybe damage when peeling off the left material. So, if the
material is above resins or similar, firstly use the PS, PE or other material
to clean the barrel and screw to simplify the cleaning and removing work.
(Fill the
4-5
PS material to inject for many times.)
4.10.2 Prepare the following things besides of the necessary tools:
① 4 or 5 pieces of log or steel rod. (diameter of screw ×length of
injection stroke)
② 4 or 5 pieces of square wood. (100mm×300mm)
③ pliers
④ wasted cotton fibre or clothes.

about 0%
4.10.4.3 Return the injection rod with full stroke and stop there.
4.10.4.4 Remove the half rings
Remove the barrel head and nozzle. If nozzle is needed to clean,
firstly remove the nozzle.
Put the bolts of half rings and other bolts at different places to avoid
confusing.
4.10.4.5 Remove the screw (assure the speed and pressure of injecting are
4-6
low)

Step 1: put the square wood at the end of injection rod (see drawing
below). Use the pliers to support the wood, not by hand.

Step 2: move the injection rod ahead, and take away the pliers.
Step 3: after the screw move ahead with whole course, draw it back.

Step 4: add another wood.


Step 5; once more move the injection rod ahead.
Step 6: repeat the above step 1-5, you can pull out the screw.
Attention: do not pull out it by hand because of its heat.
Step 7: to protect the screw, put the screw on the wood or wooden
frame.
4.10.4.6 Remove the screw head (its thread is laevogyrate)
4.10.4.7 Remove the barrel
Even if the barrel and screw as one group for replacing, firstly
remove the screw, then the barrel.
Step 1: remove all the heating rings (and wiring box if necessary).
Step 2: release the bolts which fix the barrel.
Step 3: Hang the barrel like the drawing.

If 280mm (Settable) is reached for mold close, switch to the high speed
(fast) stage that pressure is 30 and flow is 50
(Note: Enhance the flow and adjust the pressure properly for improving
the work efficiency)

If 100mm (Settable) is reached for mold close, switch to the mid speed
stage that pressure is 20 and flow is 40
(Note: This stage is prepared for the low pressure stage, so the pressure
value is reducible)

5-11
If 50mm (Settable) is reached for mold close, switch to the low pressure
stage that pressure is 5 and flow is 30
(Note: The pressure value is low that can drive the mold; If the mould is
clamped by the foreign bodies in this stage, open mold automatically after
the low pressure time is reached)

If 10mm (Settable) is reached for mold close, switch to the high pressure
stage that pressure is 50 and flow is 30
(Note: The pressure value should be high; this is the mold injection stage.
The mould will be open or the defective products appear when injecting if
the pressure isn’t enough)

is 60 and the flow is 30
(Note: This is the first stage for mold open after injecting; the pressure
can be adjusted greatly since the mould will be opened with a strong
force when it shuts tightly)

If 30mm (Settable) is reached for mold open, switch to the MO2 (fast)
stage that pressure is 40 and flow is 60
(Note: Enhance the flow and adjust the pressure properly to drive the
mold for improving the work efficiency)

If 200mm (Settable) is reached for mold open, switch to the MO3 (mid
speed) stage that pressure is 30 and flow is 40
(Note: This stage is the position from the mid speed transferring to the
slow stage; the pressure and flow should be reduced properly avoiding
the striking.)

If 250mm (Settable) is reached for mold open, switch to the MO4 (slow
speed) stage that pressure is 20 and flow is 30
(Note: Slow down to avoid bump (low flow, slow speed) and the reduce the

ring and melting ring (see the drawing below). Clean the
threads of torpedo device and screw body.

④In the end, after the screw is cool wipe all of grease spots with the
burn-resistance solution.
Attentions:
①Try not to wear the cool-processing material.
②Before installing the device like torpedo, paint some Mos2 or silicon
grease to avoid wearing. A thin film of grease is enough. If too much,
the injection products will be polluted.
③When using some solution, take regular protection steps to prevent
the skin from touching smoke and fog.

6.5 Adjustment of slide shoes under the moving mould platen.
The supporting shoes mentioned in this section is those of small or
middle type machines. While Those of big type machine refer to Chapter
8.
The slide shoes are the device which can support the moving mould
platen to ensure that four tie bars don’t bend. (see the diagram below) If
too tight, increase the loading and the difficulty to adjust the mould. If too
loose, lose the function to prevent the tie bars from bending. So, it is
important to adjust this device with best position before delivery. And
check if
At first adjust the height of iron pads under frame to calibrate the
horizon of the machine to ensure the horizonality of four tie bars. Then
unload the mould from the moving mould platen. Stretch the toggle links.
Adjust and twist the first nut down and then adjust the mould height to
examine the system pressure at this time. Adjust the pre-tightness to
proper extent. Pay attention to synchronously adjust the four nuts. At last
tightly twist the nut down. The function of second nut is loose-resistance.
You can twist it with large force. After finish the adjustment, mount the
mould again to examine the adjustment effect. Frequently check if the
nuts are loose in order to duly adjust and protect the ability of machine.

As the specialized manufacturer and seller, basing on our rich
experience, we always offer the latest design and technology for our
valued customers in order to more effectively operate the injection
molding machine, specially to prevent or reduce the troubles of the
reliable and high-performance parts of hydraulic system.
On the other hand, it is important for hydraulic system to correctly
use and maintain the hydraulic oil.
Experiences show that the trouble arising in hydraulic system is the
result of falsely use and maintain the hydraulic oil.
Following information can help you select the proper hydraulic oil
& lubrication oil and correctly inspect and maintain the machine so as to
reduce the trouble and improve the service life.
8.9.2 Hydraulic oil
The hydraulic oil used in the hydraulic system not only is transmission
medium, but also lubricate the surface of metals.
Because the hydraulic equipment trends variety and high ability, the
demand for hydraulic oil become stricter and stricter.
8.9.2.1 property requirement
Generally the hydraulic oil should have the following features:
①freely flow when being used
②form the proper sealing in moving parts
③no physical or chemical change when being used.
④Dust-resistance and wear-resistance
⑤Be able to bear the cooling and reduce the wearing of moving parts.
⑥Quickly separate the water, waste and other impurity when static. So
that the impurity can be cancelled from the hydraulic oil.
⑦Suit for sealing when being used.
⑧Not easy to burn according to function
⑨Have no foam inside
8.9.2.2 Types
Classify the hydraulic oil according to its ingredient. (see table 1)

8-15

hydraulic fluid) Fluid with much water (HWBF)
Compound fluid Nitricester (burn-resistance)
Fatty acid fluid
8.9.2.2.1 mineral type
This kind of oil is often applied at present. Like most of lubrication
oil, it is able to attain the crude oil with different viscosity according to
the difference of boiling point. So, this type oil can widely applied. Fill
the different additive to get different function.
(1)ordinary hydraulic oil
It contains the additive of oxidation-proof and rust-resistance. It is
mostly applied in the hydraulic device with oxidation, heat, low
hydraulic pressure.
(2)wear-resistance hydraulic oil
It contains extra-pressure agent and wear-resistance additive. It is
applied in the hydraulic device with high hydraulic pressure.
(3)wide temperature scope hydraulic oil
This kind of oil is applied at the cold area or chilling equipment.
Besides of additive of wear-resistance and oxidation-proof, it
contains another additive to reduce flowing point.
(4) energy-saving hydraulic oil
It is made from deep-refined, high viscosity crude oil. Fill the crude
oil with the common additive and limit pressure wear-resistance
agent and viscosity additive to make up thick oil which can save
energy and other resources.
8.9.2.2.2 burn-resistance type
Burn-resistance hydraulic oil has two types: one type contains water,
another contains compound oil. The first type includes oil-in-water and

8-16
water-in-oil emulsion, water-ethandiol, HWBF. The second type includes
phosphatide and Fatty acid fluid(fire-resistance) both of which are
applied in the dangerous environment of burning. Generally, the
lubrication, stability and sealing of burn-resistance type can not keep up
with those of mineral type. So, please consult with the supplier before
deciding to use this burn-resistance hydraulic oil.
Water-ethandiol hydraulic oil is made of ehtandiol and aquation
polymer which are filled with many additives. It’s considered that the
antirust with gas is one of features. So this kind of oil containing the
antirust additive can prevent the water from rusting the vacancy of
container.
In past time, the injection molding machine mainly use the mineral
type hydraulic oil. But, because of its latent explosive danger, there is a
trend to use the burn-resistance fluid in near years. Among the
burn-resistance hydraulic fluid, water-ehandiol type is recommended by
many persons.
8.9.3 select the hydraulic oil
8.9.3.1 type selection
The items listed in table 2 are the regulations for selecting the
hydraulic oil. The function and condition of hydraulic equipment
determines to select the mineral type or burn-resistance type. Other
considering factors includes: hydraulic pump, the model of other device,
pressure, temperature, lubrication quality, economic, the fitness with
sealing rings, etc.

Table 2 selection standard of hydraulic oil

Limit of pressure Common function or wear-resistance
Danger of water mixture Common type or anti-emulsion type
Lubrication Consider the type and brand
Economic Consider the life and product quality

8-17
8.9.3.2 viscosity selection
Hydraulic oil is transmission medium of hydraulic equipment. The
accident mentioned in table 3 will favor of appraising the hydraulic with
improper viscosity. Correctly select the proper viscosity to suit for the
structure of hydraulic equipment, oil temperature and conveying pressure
to gain the longest effect and ability.

Table 3 the accident cause of improper viscosity


Too high Too low
Increase inner friction Increase out leakage
Increase the resistance at the mouth Increase the pump slide (effect of
and valve pump reduce, oil temperature rise)
Oil temperature rise Increase the wear and tear of
moving parts
Not smooth movement Reduce the system pressure
Increase the pressure loss Reduce the precision
Increase power consumption

8.9.3.3 lubrication property


One function of hydraulic oil is lubrication property. It’s most
important to successfully develop the hydraulic with higher pressure and
rapid speed. In many occasions, the lubrication property can be judged
according to wear and tear condition of pump. The reasons are: The
running of pump makes a serious effects on hydraulic devices; the trend
of raising the pressure has directly acted on the pump.
8.9.3.4 other property
Upon selecting the hydraulic oil, in case the viscosity and lubrication
property are right, the hydraulic oil maybe have no problems. But, in
order to reliably apply the hydraulic oil with long time and prolong the
service life of equipment, it’s necessary to consider the following features
as important reference.
(1) stability of oxidation
The stability of oxidation directly affected the life of hydraulic oil. In
small oil tank, the oil is running under the high pressure and high
speed. So the temperature will rise with large extent. High
temperature will make the oil to oxidize and change quality.
8-18
(2) stability of shearing
Shearing between the pump and other parts maybe cause the viscosity
lower.
(3) Burn-retardancy
The property of burn-retardancy is subject to its ingredient. The test
result of many kinds of oil is on table 4.

8.9.4 control and maintenance of hydraulic oil


Even though the hydraulic oil is very good, the damage may happen
in case fault control and maintenance.
8.9.4.1 maintenance item
Popularly the maintenance items include the followings:
(1)impurity of oil: judge by viscosity, acidity or color
(2)outside pollution: judge by the weight or calculation
(3)outer appearance: judge by color
The last one is very easy, nut it is not accurate. The following content
have practical worthiness:
(1) viscosity change
Viscosity is one important factor of maintenance. Its change will
directly affect the property and life of hydraulic oil. The oxidation

8-19
and deterioration caused by heat will increase the viscosity. The
viscosity decreases because of raising its index. The sudden change
of viscosity is the result of filling oil with improper oil.
(2) total acidity change
Total viscosity will change along with the crude oil and the additive.
If using the additive, the total viscosity will decrease as the time
goes on. It will rise along with the increasing oxidation. It’s
necessary to regularly test the acidity.
(3) Water in the oil
The mixing of water causes emulsion, dust and other problems. That
is harmful for lubrication and the life of hydraulic oil and equipment. If
serious, the water in the oil can be observed by eye.
(4) Color
The color will change along with the viscosity and the type &
volume of additive. If the oil is oxidized or has gone bad, the color
will become deep.
(5) Pollution extent
The impurity in the hydraulic oil is harmful for the property and
reliability of hydraulic equipment. So it is important prevent the oil
from polluting. The pollution extent is judged by two
means—weight method and statistic method.
a) by weight method
The impurity in the hydraulic equipment is no more than
10mg/100ml. While it in the N.C equipment is no more than
5mg/100ml. Table 5: NAS pollution standard (the quantity every
100mg)

8.9.4.2 control parameters for reference


The parameters will change according to the oil type, the volume of
additives, working condition, the required precision. So it’s difficult to
build a set of fixed parameters. For reference, the table 7 list the
parameters of control and maintenance for reference only.
The oil has to be replaced because of its pollution, not itself. After
get rid of the pollution, the oil can be continued to use.
8-21
8.9.4.3 control the running
To avoid accident, carry out the following inspections.
(1) Volume
Guarantee the position is not lower than the middle of gauge. Regularly
check and record the volume.
(2) Temperature
The temperature is not higher than 55℃. If too low, run the machine
without loading before production. If too high, regulate the oil cooler.
(3) Pressure
Guarantee the pressure normal. If it is abnormal, the filter may be
blocked, or the air enters into the oil. Check the pump and pressure
meter.
(4) Filter
Stare at the pressure change of filter and regularly check it. If finding
much impurity, get rid of them and find out how they enter into it.
(5) Noise of pump
The reasons include: the filter is blocked, air enters into the oil,
viscosity is too high, foreign matters enter into the pump.
(6) Leakage
Check the leakage of jointer, flange, soft pipe, sealing parts.
8.9.4.4 maintenance of hydraulic equipment
carefully and entirely carry out the inspection, replacement of oil,
and cleaning.
8.9.4.4.1 oil tank and oil supply
(1) Through the air filter fill the oil. Remove the cover and cap. Do not
put them on floor to prevent the dust adhere its surface.
(2) Because of the inner diameter of tank mouth is about50mm, the
1.5’pipe of oil pump can be inserted into replenish the oil. There is
one filter with 100 mesh on the air filter cleaner. If it is blocked, the
oil will overflow. If not using the air filter cleaner, guarantee that
the oil is very clean.
(3) Firstly fill the oil for big model machine without filter cleaner,
please use the filter of not less than 100mesh to guarantee the
cleanness of devices.
(4) Not only the first time but also any time, please guarantee the
8-22
(5) cleanness.
(6) After replacing the hydraulic oil, let it be quiet for 3-5 hours so as
to get rid of the foam and sedimentation of the suspension.
8.9.4.4.2 regular test of the oil property
If the oil is polluted or gone bad, the service life of the machine will
shorten and accident will occur. So it’s necessary to regularly test the oil
and find out the change of property. Strict test should be carried out in
laboratory. But the customer will test it only by eye in practice. Stop the
machine, take out some oil as sample. The oil should be fully blended
before being taken out.
(1) test by customer
a. appearance test
Put the used and new oil in respective tubes and compare their color,
transparent, the floating and sediment at the bottom of tube.
b. drop test
Drip a drop of oil on the filtering paper and research it after 2-3 hours.
If the oil is dirty or went bad, easily find out the pollution left on the
paper.
(2) Test by supplier of the oil
If finding that the oil isn’t normal by the above methods, send the oil
to the supplier to make the further test.
(3) The cycle of regular test
The cycle period is one month. If the supplier test the oil every one,
two or three month, the cycle period can delay to every three months.
Suggest to sign the contract with the supplier when buying the
hydraulic oil.
(4) Usage limit of oil
To confirm the usage limit, you can judge it according to following
items.
The deterioration of oil: the supplier inform it according to the
above results of tests.
Pollution extent: the customer should report the condition of oil to the
supplier. The pollution extent of hydraulic oil have to been limited in
the scope (see below). The maintenance of first three months is very
important. It will determines the service life of hydraulic equipment.

8.9.4.4.3 wash
(1) purpose and steps
Firstly, wash the metal granular, sand and dust inside of the oil tank.
Secondly, wash the hydraulic device after being used for period.
(2) Wash when replacing oil.
Firstly, drain off all of the oil, then wipe the oil tank with sponge. Then
use the oil whose viscosity is same as that of hydraulic oil to wash with
low pressure. For 4-8 hour’s washing, get rid of the metal granular, oil
mud and stain. Of course, drain off the washing oil as much as possible,
and carefully wipe the bottom of tank.
(3) When the oil is polluted by water or chemicals.
8.9.4.4.4 maintenance -- summary
(1) select the proper type.
(2) Check the condition by regular test.
(3) Keep the temperature of oil in its reasonable scope 45±5℃
(control the flow and temperature of cooling water).
(4) Wash and clean the device after replacing oil.
8.9.5 lubrication oil and grease
8.9.5.1 selection
Please the relevant introduction in Chapter 3.
8.9.5.2 maintenance
Lubrication oil is different from the hydraulic oil. Hydraulic oil can
be immediately replaced over buying from the market. Lubrication oil has
to be stored for long time. So many attentions should be paid as
followings:
(1) Put the oil bottle on the wooden floor.
(2) Seal the bottle and cover it with water-proof paper or special lid.
(3) Keep the oil out of the sunlight.
(4) Guarantee the storage temperature lower than 40℃.
(5) After a period, the grease coating on the surface of bearings and
moving parts will go bad because it is polluted by water, vapor and
8-24
(6) dust in the air. This is to say, it will lose efficiency. Do not forget
to carry out the lubrication with recommended frequency. If the
grease becomes black or hard, wipe the grease and lubricate this
section. If it is too dirty, wash it with kerosene or similar matter.
