Chapter 6: Maintenance
Attention: Before doing any maintenance work,make sure the power supply is cut off.
1 Safety devices inspection
Upon machine starting,safety devices have to be inspected in detail thus ensuring the safety in machine
operation,safety devices are laid out as follows:
Drop bar and Scotch bar set
Hydraulic safety device
1.1 Electrical safety
LIMIT SWITCH controls front and rear safety gates,minimum and maximum mold thickness,and
inspection method is:
A) Open front/rear safety door in clamp side,inspect I/O 101,103 on I/O monitor screen,they must be
off(no highlighted),open front/rear safety door in injection side,inspect I/O 201,202 on I/O monitor
screen,they must be off.
B) Activate limit switch of minimum/maximum mold thickness,inspect I/O 111(min. mold thickness),
I/O 112(max. mold thickness)on I/O monitor screen,when limit switch is depressed,highlight of
the corresponding I/O disappeared.
C) Open the clamp side gate,emergency stop circuit will actuate,highlight of I/O 221 disappears.
D) Press front or rear emergency stop button to activate emergency stop circuit,highlight of I/O 221
disappeared.
1.2 Hydraulic safety
The front/rear safety door interlocking circuits control V35 directional valve,and V35 controls the
hydraulic safety logic valve on the clamp manifold.
Methodsr inspection is:
◇When front or rear safety door is opened,clamp cannot be closed.
◇Clamp cannot be closed with V35 unplugged.
1.3 Mechanical safety
Inspection methods for drop bar/scotch bar set,clamp safety guards,barrel guards are:
◇Open front safety gate,the drop bar set will drop on the scotch bar.
Close front safety gate,the drop bar set will rise thus getting away from the scotch bar.
◇Check tightness the fixing screw of clamp safety guards,barrel guards,etc.
