Study Notes

Starting Up the Injection Machine

  • Turn the main switch to the "ON" position to switch on the chiller.
  • Press the left-side bottom key on the display.

Powering On the Machine

  • Turn the main switch to the "I" position or "ON".
  • Press the reset key.

Initializing the Machine

  • Press the key on the first control panel to switch on the pump motor.
  • Switch on the chiller automatically and set the temperature to 50°C.
  • Press the key on the first control panel to switch on the heating.

Uploading the TPO Program

  • Select the option to upload the TPO program from the Compact Flash disk.
  • Read in the complete program and select "Y" to confirm.

Preparing for Injection

  • Check the cylinder temperature before proceeding.
  • Clean the nozzle tip to ensure proper function.

Purging and Measuring

  • Purge the system with a sample at least 3 times to ensure proper function.
  • Measure the sample capacity to ensure accurate results.

Setting Up the Mold

  • Use the injection unit to touch the mold for zero setting.
  • Close the mold and ensure it reaches the position 0.00.

Running the First Cycle

  • Close the mold after measuring the sample.
  • Press the manual/auto key to switch to automatic mode (LED lights up).
  • Open the safety door and immediately close it to start the first cycle.

Harvesting Specimens

  • When the mold opens, open the safety door and remove the specimen.
  • Approximately 20 pieces are needed for the process.

Changing Materials

  • After preparing the necessary specimens, change the material.

Switching to Manual Mode

  • Select "manual" mode (f042) and press the corresponding key.
  • The nozzle will retract and stop.
