Question8. Burr in the product
After the Haitian 180T machine is installed with a relatively large mold for production (note: this mold has also been produced on this machine before, there is no problem), and it is found that the high-pressure mold has been locked and closed during semi-automatic production.
After the mold termination stroke switch is pressed, the twist will be loose at the time of injection until the mold is closed, and the stroke switch will continue to move, resulting in a phenomenon of burr in the product.
Answer

Question9. What is the reason for the sudden high-pressure mold locking alarm during production?
Answer
9.1. Check whether the electronic ruler has been locked to zero. This phenomenon is often caused by the electronic ruler’s zero-point running position, the fastening screw of the electronic ruler is loose or the electronic ruler is broken.
9.2. The proportional amplifier board IC is broken.
Question10. When the semi-automatic setting is set, the machine cannot be stopped in the high-pressure clamping state, and there is no response when pressing the stroke with a tool. Is the stroke switch broken? How should I repair it?
Answer

Answer
11.1. Check whether the machine has an output signal for mode-locking while walking forward.
11.2. Check the internal leakage of the clamping cylinder.
11.3. The hydraulic valve has a leak check.
11.4. Caused by gas in the oil circuit.
Question12. After the injection molding machine has been working for a period of time, the machine has a shortage of finished products or a mold clamping failure. It is invalid to adjust the origin of the mold support. It is okay to shut down the machine for one night and restart it. The above situation occurs again after a period of work.
Answer
12.1. Machine oil temperature check (oil temperature 35-55)
12.2. Check whether there is a frequency converter (interference) installed on this motor vehicle platform.
12.3. Check the internal parameter settings of the machine.
12.4. Check whether there is a bad contact in the relevant line of the thimble.
12.5. Check the electronic ruler and circuit of the supporting mold.
12.6. Clamp the mold, check and clean the solenoid valve or overflow valve of the mold support.
12.7. Inspection of mold clamping, mold supporting mechanism, and oil seal of injection cylinder.
12.8. There is a problem with the matching manipulator, that is, the clamping signal to the injection molding machine is delayed or not.
The other is that when the ejector pin moves back to the limit line, it is switched on and off, rearrange the line and check the limit system, and then check the set locking parameters such as low voltage time, cycle time, etc., and whether the safety door wiring is firm, generally from here The problem can be solved in several ways.
12.9. What needs to be judged is whether the mode-locking signal has started or not, the most important thing is what information is on the main screen when the mode-locking is not visible, which is very important to analyze the cause of the failure.
12.10. The three-core wire of the mold-locking electronic ruler of the machine is in poor contact, just replace it.
Question13. What is the reason why the optical decoder goes to the origin?
Answer
13.1. Is the positioning screw loose or broken?
13.2. Sudden power failure during the operation is also easy to occur and needs to be reset.
Question14. There is nothing in the mold, but there is a mold protection alarm.
Answer
14.1. The parameter setting of mold low-pressure protection time is too short, or the parameter setting of the mold closing position is abnormal.
14.2 The mold temperature during the production process is higher than the mold temperature at the beginning of production (increasing the gap).
14.3. Insufficient mold lubrication or mold movement, fixed mold failure, 4 low pressure, speed, time, and position settings are unreasonable.
14.5. The lubrication of the mold guide pin is not enough. Do some ejector pin oil or touch some butter.
14.6. Check the wear of the clamping mechanism, check the elbow and the large pin shaft.
Question15. When closing the mold, the hinge cannot be straightened.
Answer
15.1. The clamping pressure time is too short or the clamping pressure is too low, or the speed is too slow.
15.2. Check whether the front and rear door travel switches are in poor contact.
15.3. After opening the mold, look at the prompt, there is a problem that the door is not closed properly.
15.4. It is also caused by poor contact of the solid-state relay on the I/O board. Sometimes it does not operate when the mold is closed. Just replace it with a new one.
Question16. When setting semi-automatic, close the door first time and failed, if close the door again it will be ok. Fully automatic is no this problem. The other is to set the semi-automatic setting and do not open the door after ejecting. Press manual and then semi-auto.
Answer
16.1. ①The input signal is not ejected completely.
②The top-retract travel switch is not turned on or the circuit is faulty. The above two treatments should be recognized by the computer, and the computer will give a signal to force the ejector to return. Check the manual ejection switch, then the input board has an indicator light.
When the mold is not closed, the pressure gauge should be displayed, set different ejection pressures, and the pressure of the oil pressure gauge will change at this time
16.2. The condition to meet the mold closing is that the ejection is in place, the safety door opening switch signal is input to the computer, and the manipulator returns to the position signal is input to the computer, and the continuous door opening and closing actions can be used to close the mold.
It is possible that the mold closing safety protection stroke valve does not spring It starts to bounce when opening and closing again. Of course, some other machines do not have hydraulic stroke valves.
You can do not open the door twice when the mold is not closed for the first time. First, check the input related monitoring page to find out whether all input signals have been accepted by the computer. , And whether the output signal is sent from the computer level.
16.3. The production number set by the injection molding machine has arrived, reset.
Question17. There is an electric valve for manual mold clamping, and the system is under pressure but the mold does not close.
Answer
17.1. Confirm that the mold clamping process setting is correct
17.2. Confirm that the clamping mechanism is normal
17.3. Check the opening and closing mold cylinder
① Whether the oil seal is good or not
② Whether the piston falls off, whether the piston rod is broken
Question18. After the injection molding machine is locked, the mold suddenly expands when it starts to shoot. What is the reason?
Answer
18.1. The machine hinge is not fully straightened, and the self-locking point is not reached, re-adjust the origin position
18.2. It may be that the piston oil seal of the clamping cylinder is damaged! Because the pressure is easy to open the mold during injection
18.3. Adjust the lock confirmation switch!
18.4. The oil seal of the mold clamping cylinder is worn, and the mold is actually not completely locked
