Electro/mechanical mould protection
ALLROUNDER 221 K machines are standardly equipped
with an electro-mechanical mould protection. This mould
protection serves the purpose of preventing damage to the
mould if foreign particles or injected parts get between the
mould halves during closing. When the mould protection
reacts the controller interrupts the clamping process and
issues an alarm.

The sprung mould protection platen with end switch S104


is located on the fixed clamping platen. When the mould
closes, the programmable stroke marking S119 must first
be reached before the sprung mould protection platen is
pressed against the fixed clamping platen hereby
activating switch S104.

If there is a foreign particle between the mould halves the


mould protection plate is pressed against the fixed
clamping platen and activates switch S104 before the
stroke marking for the mould protection is reached. For an
illustration of this, please see the following diagrams.

72
programmed stroke marking is reached before switch
S104 is activated, → cycle continues.

Foreign particle (7) causes switch S104 to be activated


before position marking s119 is reached → alarm.

( GR1432ZA GS1432ZA ) 73
The minimum spring resistance for the mould protection
platen is approx. 2 kN.

With stiffly moving cheek moulds the spring resistance of


approx. 2kN could be too low which means the mould
protecion might react without there being any foreign
particle between the mould halves. For such cases
stronger compression springs are available for the mould
protection platen.

s119 Mould protection off


As soon as the stroke position s119 is reached, the
mould protection is switched off. The switch S104
is no longer monitored.
f105 2nd start attempt after t105 ¹.
Effect: When the mould protection has reacted
during mould closing, the controller does not issue
an alarm immediately. The machine opens the
mould and activates the ejector. It then tries to
close the mould again. Only when this 2nd attempt
is unsuccessful, does the controller issue an alarm.
f102 Immediate machine stop.
When “yes” is input the machine stops immediately after
the mould protection has reacted.

¹ not standard
74
Hydraulic mould protection ¹
Instead of the electro-mechanical mould protection with
sprung mould protection platen there is the option of a
hydraulic mould protection. With the hydraulic mould
protection the otherwise sprung mould protection platen is
firmly attached to the fixed clamping platen.

On closing, the mould must move the last centimeters


within a certain time with low force. This distance is called
the mould protection stroke. If foreign bodis or injected
parts left in the mould prevent the mould from closing
unhindered, the time programmed for the completion of
the mould protection stroke is exceeded. The controller
interrupts the closing process and issues an alarm.The
mould then re-opens and normally remains undamaged.

¹ not standard
75
s104 The controller switches from closing force to
protection force (F104) as soon as the mould
reaches s104. s104 is the starting point of the
mould protection stroke. The measurement of
mould protection time t4052 starts from this point.
s105 Clamping force on
The controller switches from protection force to
clamping force as soon as s105 is reached. s105 is
the end point of the mould protection stroke. The
measurement of mould protection time t4052 ends
at this point.
F104 Protection force
F104 determines the force with which the mould
moves through the mould protection stroke (s104
to s105). F104 should be as low as possible. The
controller switches from closing force to protection
force F104 as soon as the mould has reached
position s103.
t105 Mould protection
Effect: The mould must complete the mould
protection stroke (s104 to s105) within t105. If t105
is exceeded the controller issues an alarm.
t4052 Measured time
The time that the mould actually takes to complete
the mould protection stroke is measured and
displayed at t4052.

6. Zeroing the stroke measuring systems

The stroke measuring systems of the machine always start


the measurement from fixed zero points which you cannot
alter (machine related zero points). You can however input
all data for the movement sequences in absolute values.
To make this possible each mould must have its own zero
points for the stroke measuring system. These are
determined in a simple way by “zeroing” the stroke
measuring system.

The following stroke measuring systems must be


zeroed:

u Ejector movements
Zero point = ejector retracted
u Nozzle movements
Zero point = nozzle at mould

IMPORTANT
Contrary to ALLROUNDER machines with fully hydraulic
clamping unit, the moulds of the ALLROUNDER 221 K
versions with toggle system are not zeroed.
The zero point is automatically the locking (or extended)
position of the toggle.

77
Zeroing the ejector
l Call up the function panel “Ejector
advancement” with this key.
l Press this key to open the mould.
l Press this key to retract the ejector.
l Keep this key suppressed and press the key
“←0→” simultaneously. Suppress both keys for
approx. 2 seconds.
¡ At the bottom right of the monitor the value
“0.0mm” now appears at “s601l- actual
value”. This value can increase to 0.2 mm as
soon as you release the key. This does not
matter, the ejector only bounces forwards a
little as soon as the retraction force is
released.

IMPORTANT
When the mould closes, the function “Ejector
retraction” is activated again independently of the zero
point.

78
Zeroing the nozzle

l Call up the function panel “nozzle” with this key.

l Press this key to close the mould.

l Press this key to advance the nozzle. When the


nozzle has contact with the mould keep the key
suppressed and press the “←0→” key
simultaneously. Keep both keys suppressed for
approx. 2 seconds.
¡ At the bottom right of the monitor the value
“0.0 mm “ appears at “s201I-actual value”.
This value can increase to 0.2 mm as soon
as you release the key. This does not matter,
the nozzle only bounces forwards a little as
soon as the contact pressure is released.

IMPORTANT
Before you begin to set up the programme for a
different mould you must zero the stroke measuring
systems of the ejector and the nozzle.
