13.1.1 Ultra Purge Settings Panel
The Ultra Purge Settings panel has the user-configurable settings based on the specific needs
of the process with Ultra Purge recommendations. Table 13-1 gives the descriptions for the
items in the panel.
NOTE: For easy recall and to make sure the specific process is being applied to the correct
mold, the settings in the panel are saved to the mold setup file that is loaded at the
time the color change feature is being configured.
13.1.2 Ultra Purge Sequence Panel
This field shows each step of the color change sequence and requires one of the interactions
that follow to continue to the next step:
• Make a choice (Yes or No)
• Start an action (Start Color Change, Start Soak Timer and Start Purge Booster)
• Confirmation that the current step has been completed
Some steps require you to count injection shots and update the screen with the current shot
or usage amount. This can be done using a cycle input signal (refer to Section 13.2).
The Ultra Purge mode buttons are at the bottom of the panel.

some thermally sensitive resins.
