Mold-Masters Hot Runner - Manifold Locator

5.14.1 Manifold Locator
WARNING
Make sure the lifting eyebolt, chain and crane can support the weight of the
manifold. Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
Depending on your system, the manifold locator may require nal grinding.
NOTE
Refer to the General Assembly drawing for details of your particular system.
FINAL GRINDING REQUIRED
For some systems, manifold locators are supplied oversize (X) and must
be ground to the same level as the top of the nozzles. In this case remove
the material from the bottom face of the locator (FACE Y). This will allow
SURFACE (A) and SURFACE (B) to be at the same level in the cold
condition, or as specied on the General Assembly drawing.
FINAL GRINDING NOT REQUIRED
In other systems the manifold locator does not require grinding and the height
is determined by the cutout depth. In this case SURFACE (A) and SURFACE
(B) will be at the same level in the hot condition.
1. Apply die spotting blue compound to the manifold locator into the bore to
ensure proper seating.
2. Install the manifold locating cam onto its dowel pin.
3. If required, attach a crane of su󰀩cient lifting capacity to the manifold.
4. Check for correct seating and height.
5. Check that there are no pinched wires.
