Appendix B Listing of Error/Warning Messages
Section 1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
General safety practices

For safety reasons, read the instructions below carefully.
HYDRAULIC OIL, LUBRICATING OIL, AND NITROGEN GAS PRESSURE
Before starting the machine,
check the oil levels of the hydraulic reservoir and lubricating pump unit,
check the nitrogen gas pressure,
if accumulator is installed, ensure the oil levels and the gas pressure are within
the specified limits.
HYDRAULIC OIL TEMPERATURE
Check the temperature of the hydraulic oil frequently during machine operation.
The temperature shall be within 40 to 55 degree Celsius. The ideal temperature
shall be 45 to 55 degree Celsius. If the temperature is out of the range, the
following shall be done,
adjust the temperature control valve at the cooling water outlet of the oil cooler,
check if sufficient water is flowing,
check if the temperature of the water at the inlet of oil cooler is too high.
If the hydraulic oil temperature is not stable, too high or too low, the
dimensional accuracy of the mouldings and the machine functions will be
adversely affected. Often the hydraulic oil will be quickly deteriorated.
LUBRICATION
Carefully check the nylon lubrication pipes for any damage. Examine to see if
the sliding parts are properly lubricated and greased. If these parts are not
properly lubricated, the machine service life may be shortened. Also the
machine function may become abnormal.
WIRES FOR Heating element in the heat zones
The wires for heater bands are conducted through narrow space. When an
heating element is replaced with a new one, make sure that none of the wires
are in contact with the injection unit positioning cylinder, the inner wall or the
edge of the recess hole in the stationary mould platen and the other stationary
parts near the wires when the injection unit moves forwards and backwards. If
the wires are in contact with these parts during carriage motion, quick damage
of the wires may be resulted and unexpected hazards from electric shorts or
sparks can occur.
Clamping area
safety precaution
Turn off the main power switch and tag with a proper sign plate to prevent the
main switch from being turned on by mistake during inspection or maintenance
of the machine.
Do not touch the mold or the clamp components during operation with guard
door closed.
Never go to the upper part of the clamping area nor take product out during
operation.
Never get into rear side of movable platen (linkage mechanism side) during
operation. Follow the same procedure in (1) above when working inside.
Never get into the inside portion of clamping fixed cover during operation.
safety device
The operation side guard door protects with three safety devices: the electrical,
hydraulic and mechanical interlock. The non-operation side guard door protects
with two safety devices: the electrical and hydraulic interlock.
Electrical interlock :- Two limit switches at operation side and two limit
switches at non-operation side are provided. When the guard door is opened
during manual and full automatic operation, the limit switch is actuated by the
1
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
cam attached to guard. The control circuits for the clamping unit will be turned
off and the clamping operation will be stopped. However, the pump motor and
heater circuits will not be turned off.
Hydraulic interlock : When the operation side or the non-operation side guard
door is opened during mold closing process, a lever will be pressed by the
guard door. The clamp motion directional valve will then be set to neutral
position by hydraulic control circuit connected, putting mold closing and opening
process to a halt.
Mechanical safety device
When guard door at operation side is opened during mold closing process, a
shutter will be lowered to provide a mechanical stop for mold closing.
Between nozzle and stationary platen (mold)
When advancing the nozzle, make sure that no operator with the whole nor with
any part of his body gets into the space between the stationary platen and the
nozzle.
During nozzle advance, never take molten resin from the nozzle by hand to
avoid possible pressing of the hand between the nozzle and the platen.
Between injection unit and stopper
Never insert your hand between injection unit and stopper
If work by hand is necessary there, stop the pump motor.
Cylinder hopper opening
When the hopper is removed, never insert your hand in the cylinder hopper
opening.
With the hopper attached and work by hand inside the hopper is necessary,
close the shutter completely and stop the machine.
If the cylinder is overheated, the resin inside may decompose and generate gas
which can splash hot resin out from the hopper opening. Keep away from the
hopper opening.
Mold thickness adjustment
Safety Precaution
When adjusting the mold thickness, do not touch the mold thickness adjusting
shaft.
Heating cylinder and nozzle unit
Safety Precaution
Heating cylinder and nozzle unit are heated to high temperature. Keep hands off.
When replacing the nozzle, hot molten resin may splash out. Therefore, wear
heat insulated clothing.
Molten resin has a very high temperature. Do not touch!
During molding and purging, hot molten resin may splash out. Keep a sufficient
distance from the nozzle and operate from the guard door side.
During operation, always keep the rear side door of the purge guard closed. Use
it only when exchanging the nozzle or the cylinder.
If the screw cylinder is overheated, the resin inside may decompose and
generate gas, which may leads to an explosion. Also, hot resin may splash out
from the hopper opening or the nozzle hole and causes burns. Screw, nozzle,
cylinder head may be damaged or burst out. Injury may be resulted. Therefore,
pay sufficient attention during operation.
Safety Device
Purge Guard
Installed at the stationary platen. To guard against burns caused by molten resin
splashing out during purging.

1.17.2.20Hydraulic Oil Filter

To ensure the cleanliness of hydraulic oil of the hydraulic system, an oil filter is
installed at the inlet of the oil pump. The assembly is indicated in fig. 2-19.
When the machine is running, the control system checks the condition of the oil filter. If
the filter element is clogged and the filter cannot function properly, pressure controller
1 will send a signal to control system to stop the machine. Check the condition of the oil
filter periodically, clean the filter element if necessary.
Filter element cleaning procedures:
Turn handle 6 until spring 10 is fully released.
Unscrew the six bolts 15 and remove the front cover.
Clean the filter element 13 in separate tank with cleaning fluid, use a soft brush if
necessary. Use compressed air to dry.

1.17.2.21Oil Level And Temperature Control

This is a oil level gauge at the front side of oil tank for viewing the level of the oil
content directly. At the top of the oil tank, there is an oil level indicator and a
temperature indicator for indicating the oil level and temperature automatically. The
optimum operation temperature for hydraulic oil is 30癈 - 50癈. The oil temperature is
controlled by oil cooler. There is a temperature sensor at the cooling water inlet. The
sensor detects the temperature and adjust the flow rate of cooling water automatically.
The higher the temperature, the faster the flow rate. Through this close loop control
can make sure the hydraulic oil is in normal operation condition if cool water supply is
stopped or temperature sensor is malfunction, the oil temperature will be out of
control. When the oil temperature is over 50癈, oil pump will stop automatically to
protect the hydraulic system. At the same time if the oil level is below its lower limit,
the oil pump will also stop. Therefore, it is necessary to check the oil level frequently. If
oil level is too low, open the cap at the top of the tank to refill, remember that the
refilled oil must be the same kind of the oil inside the tank.
1.17.2.22Air Filter
An air filter is installed on the top of oil tank (fig. 2-20). Air passing in or out of the oil
tank are cleaned by the air filter. When oil level inside the oil tank is low, remove the oil
cap to refill. In highly contaminated environment, the filter element will be easily
clogged. It is recommended to check the filter element monthly.
Fig.2-20
42
1.17.2.23Back Oil Filter

To prevent the impurities the piping from entering the oil tank, a filter is installed at the
main oil return inlet, as shown in fig.2-21. Clogging of the filter element by
contaminants will increase the back pressure, or cause malfunctioning of the hydraulic
system. To maintain the back oil filter in good operating condition. it is very important
to check te filter periodcally.
The filter used in the machine is the disposable type filter element for filtering and has
equipped a electro-photo clogging sensor. When the filter element is clogged, alarm
signal will be given and it is time to replace the filter element.
Changing the filter element can follow the procedures below:
Release the screws fixing the top cover
Remove the cover and take out the filter element and housing
Replace a new 20 um thick paper filter
Note :Before replacing the filter element, check the O-ring condition, replace if it is
damaged.

P3 (low pressure mold close) is the safety pressure to protect the mold in case
the product is not ejected from the mold.
P4 (high pressure lock up) controls the pressure of the clamping cylinder during
lock up phase. On initial machine set-up this should be adjusted for maximum
(140bar). With proper mold height setting, maximum machine rated tonnage will
be developed. If conditions suggest a reduced clamp tonnage, this can easily be
done by reducing the mold locking pressure setting.

It is the responsibility of the employer or the owner of this machine to instruct
and train his/her operators the safety operation and the use of safety devices of
this machine. MAKE SURE all the operators have read and understood the safety
precaution as stated in section 1 "General safety practices".
MACHINE START-UP
The CIMtrol control provides the operator with 'finger-tip' control of machine
set-up variables. Before proceeding any further, the operator shall be familiar
with the CIMtrol control, which is described in previous chapters. Having been
familiar with the controller and all safety features, the operator may proceed to
the following.
It is advised to use the following checklist before starting the pump motor.
Make a visual inspection of the machine to make sure that no components have
been removed for maintenance or servicing. Be certain that all guards are in
place.
Verify that the machine and machine area are clear of all rags, tools, spare parts,
raw material, scrap, etc. that could interfere with safe machine operation. Verify
that the floor is dry and free of oil, grease and water.
Service the entire machine in accordance with the instructions on the lubrication
sign, located on the machine base, operator side and clamp end. Refer also to the
Maintenance and Troubleshooting section of the Manual.

SETTING CONTROL FOR CLAMP/EJECTOR SYSTEM

All the parameters that are required to set the clamp and ejector can be accessed
on the clamping screen. For detailed explanations of the various parameters,
please refer the clamping screen description, located in SECTION 6 of this
manual
After the mold is installed, the motor is switched on and the proper access code is
entered, perform the following procedure.
CLAMP MOTION SETUP
Invoke the service screen by pressing and "service" softkey.
Enter the setup pressure and speed for clamp movement.
Use setup mode by pressing and selecting
Invoke the clamping screen by pressing .

Set the mold clamping stop position to 5 mm.
Fully extend the clamp by rotating to right the switch .
If the clamp cannot fully extend, increase the mold height by rotating the switch
"mold height adjustment" to left using mold height adjustment mode
Repeat (6) after switching on the left button and repeat (7) until the clamp can
fully extend.
Rotate the mold movement switch in anti-clockwise direction to open the clamp to
the desired fully open position ( for proper part ejection ). If the clamp cannot be
fully open ( the mold open speed and pressure signals are interrupted by the mold
opened position setting), enter a value greater than the current clamp position for
mold fully open position and open the clamp again until the required stroke is
attained.
Note the current clamp position on the screen and enter the same value for the
mold fully open position.
Set the mold open slow position to about 50 - 100 mm less than the mold fully
opened position, which is just entered above. Initially set the slow mold open
speed and pressure to a low value to avoid the possibility of damaging the
machine.
Set the fast mold open position to a point where the clamp has unlocked but the
mold face have not yet parted. There will be no possibility of damaging the
machine if the clamp is set to fast open while the mold is near to the fully closed
position. The speed and pressure settings can also be entered to maximum values.
To ensure the safety of the mold, set the low pressure slow close position to a
larger than required 100-150mm (approximately halfway between mold fully
closed and mold fully open positions).
Set the speed and pressure to low values for safety reason.
Set the fast mold close speed low to ensure mold safety
155
Set the mold safe endposition as the position of clamping platen when the mold
faces just touch. Set the speed and pressure to just sufficient required for locking
the clamp.
Close the mold. Make sure the mold faces are together before further proceed (if
they are not together, refer to step 12.c below). Note the actual position readout
on the clamp screen. Open the mold.
Set the mold safe position to 5 to 10 mm greater than the figure observed in the
preceding step. Close the mold again. Again check the actual position and ensure
that the mold safe end position was reached (if not reached, then refer to Step
12.c below). If the mold safe position is reached, but the clamp cannot lockup,
refer to Step 12.a below. Or if the machine does lock up but a greater tonnage is
desired, refer to step 12.b below. Open the mold.
(a) If the clamp will not lock up, increase the mold height a short distance, and try
to close the clamp. Repeat this procedure until the clamp lock up.
(b) If the clamp can lockup, decrease the mold height slightly and try to close the
clamp again. Repeat until the clamp cannot lock up, then increase the mold height.
Note that when adjusting the clamp in the direction of decreasing mold height,
that the mold safe position may not be able to be reached. Therefore, ensure that
the mold safe position is reached before deciding that the clamp will not lockup is
due to the mold height being too short. If lockup is satisfactory, proceed to Step
13.
(c) If the mold faces cannot touch each other, there is a possibility that the "low
pressure/slow close" pressure setting is not high enough to close the mold faces
together because of cams, etc., in the mold. If the clamp stop before the mold
faces touch, increase the pressure setting and try to close the mold again. If the
actual clamp position reading decreases when the "low pressure/slow close"
pressure is increased, and the mold faces still not touch each other, continue to
increase the pressure in small increments until the mold halves touch. If
increasing the pressure does not decrease the actual clamp position reading or if
the slow close pressure setting is excessive for the type of mold being used,
refer to the list of possible problems following this paragraph and eliminate any
possible faults before proceeding. Mold cams, linkages may sometimes require
pressure setting of 25 to 35 and mold spring may sometimes require pressure
setting of 40 to 45.
Possible problems:
Leader pin alignment
Lubrication to the toggle mechanism
Platen shoe adjustment
Obstruction between mold halves
Unknown springs within the mold
Other mold related possibilities
After observing clamp movement, adjust the clamp speeds to allow for the fastest
speeds with the smoothest operation possible
As the speeds are increased, the position set points may be overridden and
therefore it may be necessary to slightly readjust the position settings for
optimum performance.
Measure the clamping time required

EJECTOR SETUP
Set the Ejector start position. Ideally, the ejector start position should be set to a
position for which ejector reaches the ejector forward stopped position at the
same time that the clamp reaches the fully open position.
Enter the position, speed and pressure for the ejector forward and retract
motions. It is desirable to limit the pressure due to the limited strength of the
mold. Once the desired speeds have been set, pressure can be reduced to a value
affecting speed, then increase the pressure slightly.
The ejector stroke shall be set for positive ejection of parts. Use features such as
count eject (multiple-stroke), eject forward hold time as required.
Operate the clamp in the semi-automatic mode to ensure that the machine
operates as desired with the current settings. Make any necessary adjustments at
this time.
COOLING TIME SETUP

shall be available from the material manufacturer. Failure to follow the
recommended processing procedures can result in serious bodily injury and
damage to the machine the mold. All the parameters that are required to set-up
the injection unit are accessible on the "carriage" Screen, the "injection and
holding" screen, and the "metering" screen. Perform the following steps to set the
injection unit.
Turn on the heater from the temperature screen .
Invoke the metering screen by pressing the key. If decompression before
or after metering is required, enter the desired position, pressure and speed
settings. Use a "tick" or a "cross" for selection between using the decompression
function or not.
Set the metering stopped position. This can be found by referring to the individual
mold specification sheet. It is advisable to start set-up with a reduced shot size
to prevent overpacking of the mold. Caution: when calculating the first shot, be
ware of the fact that some short shots cannot be ejected properly.
Invoke the "injection and holding" screen by pressing . Select the desired
cut-off mode; position,time, position or time, injection pressure after position,
injection pressure after time, cavity pressure after position or cavity pressure
after time. Enter the cut-off settings for the selected mode.
Select the desired no. of stages of injection. Enter the desired values for the
velocity set points.
Select the desired no. of stages of holding pressure. Enter the holding pressure
and time settings. Set the parameters as low as possible for individual molding
conditions.
Invoke the metering screen by pressing . Select the desired no. of metering
stage. Enter the desired pressure,position and speed settings for back pressure
and metering.
Following is an example setting for injection and holding screen.
159
Following is the example setting for "metering" screen
Following is the example setting for the carriage screen
RECOMMENDED INJECTION UNIT START-UP AND PURGING PROCEDURES

Ensure the water supply to the injection unit feed throat is turned on .
Ensure that the barrel and nozzle heating zones are properly set .
Wait for the nozzle and barrel to be heated to the set temperature. The time for
the barrel and nozzle to be heated to the settings was approximately half an hour.
It is recommended that an additional half hour shall be allowed to thoroughly heat
the plastic material before rotating the screw.
Check all safety devices as outlined on the "Operator Gate Caution Tag" at this
time. Always check the DANGER and WARNING Tags located on the machine.
Invoke the carriage screen pressing key and "carriage" soft-key. Enter all
position, speed and pressure settings for carriage motion.
Perform the following procedures to clear the old material in the barrel and fill
with new material.
160
(a) Fill the hopper with clean, dry material. An approved

safety ladder with safety tread steps and hand rails should
be used when filling the hopper.
DANGER - NEVER STAND ON THE METAL SHIELD
THAT COVERS THE BARREL HEATING BANDS. IT IS
NOT DESIGNED TO BEAR LOADS
(b) Follow these purging practices:

Wear long sleeves.
Wear gloves that overlap the sleeves.
Wear approved face protection.
Close the purge guard.
The nozzle heat must be up to proper temperature to
prevent freeze off.
DANGER - NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAR A

CLOGGED NOZZLE BY INJECTING MATERIAL.
(c) With the injection carriage in a retracted position, place a

piece of cardboard or sheet metal in front of or between the
stationary platen and nozzle.
(d) Rotate the screw. Visually check the screw rotating speed.
Increase the screw rotating speed slightly. Ensure that you
are in the correct screw speed range for the material being
processed.
(e) Slowly introduce material into the feed section by pulling

the material shutoff slide outward. When filling material to
an empty barrel or chamber, do so on a gradual basis so as
not to convey raw granules into the front or metering zone
of the screw. This may create sudden power overload on
the screw and drive system.
(f) With the material feeding in the open position rotate the
screw for approximately 10 seconds, and wait for about 30
seconds and rotate the screw again. Repeat this procedure
until the screw starts to retract. The screw can then be
rotated continuously.
(g) As filling continues, the screw will retract until the

metering stopped position is reached. The screw will then
stop rotating.
(h) Empty the barrel using injection by rotating injection

switch anticlockwise. The purge guard and both guard
door must be closed.
161
(i) Purge all the old material from the barrel.
final INJECTION UNIT SETTING

Complete the following procedure to optimize machine operation.
Seat the nozzle against the mold sprue bushing. Move the nozzle against the mold
slowly to ensure that nozzle seats properly.
Try several shots using the initial setting before making adjustments. It may be
necessary to increase the screw speed and the injection speed to obtain the best
overall cycle time and the most efficient cycle.
Adjust the back pressure in small increments until the desired performance is
attained.
To prevent material from drooling into the mold while the mold is opened, it may
be desirable to adjust the decompress before or decompress after screw rotation
parameters.
If the mold is designed to operate automatically, the machine may now be placed
in the automatic mode.
Select the "injection and holding" screen by key. Enter velocity settings. If
the mold is a straight forward design with a simple runner system and few gates,
then a velocity profile with only a few set points will be sufficient. If the mold is
complex with numerous runner branches and gates, as many as ten velocity set
points may be required. With the help of the graphic screen, adjustments can be
made to the velocity settings to produce the desired velocity profile. With the
velocity setting cycle the machine a few times to allow the process to respond to
the changes.
Also in the "injection and holding" screen, enter holding pressure settings. If the
mold is a straight forward design with a simple runner system and few gates, a
profile with only a few settings will be sufficient. If the mold is complex with
numerous runner branches and gates, as many as ten pressure settings may be
required. With the use of the graph on the screen, adjustments can be made to
the pressure settings to produce the desired pressure profile. After the
adjustment, cycle the machine a few times to allow the process to respond to the
changes.
Invoke the metering screen by pressing key. Enter pressure and position
settings for back pressure. Monitor the actual back pressure on the graph and
make adjustments to the back pressure setting when required. After the
adjustment has been made, cycle the machine a few times to allow the system to
respond to the change.
If a cavity transducer is installed, invoke the cavity pressure profile screen to
monitor the cavity pressure graphically .
Invoke the "injection and holding" screen, enter the desired positions for cushion
and the tolerance. The velocity, hold pressure, and recovery profiles can be
monitored in the graphic screen.
Record the mold data in internal memory or on a memory card. Refer to the
internal memory or IC card screen description in section 6 for additional
information.
MACHINE SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
After production and before proceeding with the machine shutdown, it is
recommended that the mold data resident in active memory be downloaded to
internal memory. This will provide a back-up and eliminate the possibility of
someone inadvertently alter the parameters. (Refer to the Internal Memory Screen
162
description in Section 6.) The following procedure should be helpful when shutting
the machine down. While operating in the semi-automatic mode, shut the hopper
feed off.
Continue running the machine until the screw barrel feed throat is empty of
material.
Stop the machine cycle and operate in the manual mode.
Retract the nozzle away from the mold.
Using the manual screw motion switch to rotate the screw, purge the screw of as
much as possible. Follow the safe purging practices.
NOTE : IT MAY BE NECESSARY FOR SOME MATERIALS TO BE PURGED

COMPLETELY FROM THE BARREL. THIS CAN BE DONE BY EITHER REMOVING
AND CLEANING THE SCREW AND BARREL OR PURGING WITH A DIFFERENT
MATERIAL. CONTACT YOUR MATERIAL SUPPLIER FOR HIS
RECOMMENDATIONS. IN EITHER CASE, USE MANUAL CONTROLS TO
INITIALLY REMOVE AS MUCH RESIDUAL MATERIAL AS POSSIBLE.
DO NOT rotate the screw for extended periods without material in the screw
barrel chamber. The material acts as a lubricant and prevents direct metal to
metal contact.
Using the screw motion switch to move the screw to the forward position.
Open the clamp if desired, coat the mold with a rust preventative. Close the mold
until the mold faces just touch. ( DO NOT leave the clamp in a locked up
condition.)
Turn off the pump motor(s) and disconnect main power .
Turn off the water to the feed throat .
If applicable, turn off the auxiliary equipment .

Section 8 TIPS ON BEST MOLDING
Tips on best molding

Setting the Injection pattern
During the injection process, the resin flows from the sprue through runner and
gate into the cavity. In order to keep an undisturbed flow, to form an evenly
stable skin and to avoid an increasing viscosity, the main point during this process
is to finish the filling in a possibly short time. For this purpose it is most effective
to control the injection speed by setting its program in several steps in order to
precisely adjust the flow speed of the resin according to the form of the cavity.
Inferiorities due to incorrect adjustment of the injection process are flow marks,
surface color and gloss changes, weld marks, drops, burns, jetting, etc., and with
the traditional one-speed injection it is very difficult to solve all these various
problems. For instance, if the speed is increased intending to avoid flow marks,
on the other hand this causes new problems like jetting, burns or drops.
In other words, since the most adequate injection speed to avoid such an
inferiority and the respective control position differ, the only way to a
fundamental solution is to control the speed according to the cavity form.
Under holding pressure, the resin filled into the mold is cooled and therefore
contracts, and in order to supply the contracted part, the resin is replenished
under adequate holding pressure. When this holding pressure is adjusted
according to the temperature changes of the resin inside the mold, inferiorities
like cambers and drops can be avoided.
With such a control, even forming of complicated high-quality products, which
was impossible with the traditional constant speed and holding pressure, is
possible now, and at the same time, the range of applicable forming conditions
becomes wider. Therefore the quality of the formed products can be maintained
constantly and a shortening of the time for a cycle can be expected.
Since at the moment of switching over from injection to holding pressure the
injection speed can be lowered, an instantaneous high pressure inside the cavity
can be avoided, which prevents burrs. Therefore, in some cases a machine with a
smaller clamping force can be used.
Basic calculations for the conditions to set the program control conditions and
practical examples are explained following.
NOTE: The term "orientation" means the flowing direction and the reaction of the
resin inside the mold. Since cooling and hardening process of the product differ
on the skin and inside, also the flowing behavior of the resin changes. This can
specially be influenced by changing the molding conditions and the direction.
Generally, products with rectangular flowing direction are weaker than those with
a stable direction; they keep inner residual force (strain), and their heat
resistance, etc., decrease.
Mold inside pressure and quality of the formed product
The speed when filling the resin into the mold, and the pressure after filling have
a great influence on the quality of the formed product. Their relations are as
follows.
The filling process influences the surface quality of the product and is decisive
for appearance and orientation.
The compression process influences the final form of the product. If too high,
burrs occur, and the mold may be damaged; if too low, short shots are the result.
The holding pressure process influences the contraction of the product. If the
contraction is too much, drops or voids follow. Together with the cooling
process, it decides the product's inner orientation and crystallization.
An over-pack in this process leads to cambers, trouble with the product's inner
tension and sticking to the mold.
167
TIPS ON BEST MOLDING
During the cooling process, the cooling continuing from the holding pressure
proceeds according to the mold temperature and becomes visible in a drop of the
mold inner pressure.
Calculations for setting the conditions

In the Right figure, A shall indicate
clouding and jetting, B shall indicate
flow marks, and at the whole body
are burrs.
Before thinking about a solution, first
let us consider what causes such
faults.
168
Causes of faults
First, let us look at the motion
of the molten resin in area A.
Molten resin intrudes from

the sprue runner.
Filling into the cavity starts.
Because the molded product

has steps, the molten resin
continues to flow in before
filling out the steps.
The molten resin wraps the
stepped areas. Air and
volatile matter of the resin are
left in stepped areas.
As the molten resin continues to flow in, the air and gas contained in the stepped area are
dragged by the flowing resin, which causes cloudiness due to gas inclusion. As the resin
flows in, the part contacting the mold starts to set quickly.
As molten resin continues to

flow in the areas where the
resin has already set, the resin
temperature falls. Therefore,
cases occur where the mold
face and the skin do not come
in contact.
The filling process continues
in this way until it is finished,
but since it is carried out in
high speed, the pressure
inside the cavity momentarily
raises very high, which causes
burrs.
Countermeasures
Item Mold Resin Injection speed Hold pressure
Fault temperature temperature
Jetting Increase Increase Decrease -
Clouding due to gas Increase Decrease Decrease -
inclusion
Flow mark Increase Increase Increase Increase
Flash Decrease Decrease Decrease Decrease
The table shows countermeasures for solving faults.

As can be seen from the table, it is impossible to change mold temperature and
resin temperature within one cycle. Also in regard to shortening of the molding
169
cycle, it is not desirable to raise mold or resin temperature. Therefore, the best
way to solve fault problems is to increase the injection speed conditions and to
keep the temperature possibly low to keep the cycle short
Example for program setting
Fill the sprue runner in high
speed to shorten the cycle. Fill
resin slowly into the stepped

Molding fault and Countermeasures

MOLDING FAULTS
GENERAL
Because of the nature of the material, the many variables in the process, and the
mold design characteristics, many faults occur in injection molding. Also,
practices in the work place often lead to related problems. It can be said then
that molding problems are the result of machine, mold, material and user.
Listed below are types of faults by category, with those wherein some faults are
correctable or preventable by process control, so indicated.
In most instances, the fault suggests the remedy. Reference to standard plastics
reference material, manufacturer's literature and pamphlets will be helpful in
adjusting temperatures, pressure, times, etc.
Before attempting any correction of the molding fault, short shoot the mold (but
be sure parts will still eject okay) to be certain that all cavities are filling equally.
If not, balance the gates or runners. You must be able to mold consistently
(though quality may still be questionable) before continuing. Process control will
not compensate for obvious defects in the mold or machine, or grossly
misadjusted pressures or times.
Category of Fault Correctable or
Minimized by
Process Control
Short shots yes
Parts flashing yes
Sink marks yes
Bubbles *
Poor welds *
Material discoloration *
Warpage and shrinkage yes
Dimensional control yes
Sticking in mold yes
Sticking in sprue no
Nozzle drool no
Excessive cycle time *
Splay mica, flow marks *
* Qualified yes. Other extraneous problems that are not process control
correctable, must first be eliminated prior to initiating process control.
Refer to the following fault causes for possible corrective action.
SHORT SHOTS
Short shots are usually caused by lack of sufficient effective pressure on the
material in the cavity during the injection cycle. It may require some rework of
the mold to increase the size of the nozzle, sprue, runner, gate stem. Improving
the mold design or redesigning the part may be necessary. Process Control can
be used effectively to maintain control when pressures, and/or filling times cause
problems during injection.
Insufficient injection pressure.
Injection speed too slow.
Injection time too short.
Injection boost time too short.
Flow properties of material too low for the part.
173
No material in the hopper.

Insufficient feed.
Machine capacity too small for shot.
Runners too small.
Gates too small.
Cold slug to large, blocking flow.
Inadequate venting.
Unequal filling rates of cavities.
Interrupted flow in cavities to cure, balance gates.
Improper gate location.
Insufficient number of gates.
Cylinder temperature settings too low.
Nozzle temperature setting too low.
Increase nozzle flow or opening hole diameter and reducing land length.
Raise back pressure.
Uneven mold temperature control.
Incorrect mold temperature control system.
Inconsistent cycles operator caused.
Inconsistent cycles, mold caused.

Excessive feed which can cause loss of injection pressure due to too much
cushion in front of injection ram.
Feed system operating incorrectly.
Temperature control system operating incorrectly.
Heater band(s) inoperative.
Thermocouple(s) inoperative.
Loss of injection pressure during cycle.
PARTS FLASHING
Parts flashing are caused by a mold deficiency Insufficient clamp pressure,
excessive injection pressure, excessive barrel temperature, and incorrect
operating conditions are other causes. Process Control can be used to
compensate for excessive injection pressure and the effects of material viscosity
upsets.
Injection/Pack pressure too high.
Boost/Velocity cutoff late.
Injection speed too fast.
Material temperature too high.
Material flow is too high
Cavities and cores not sealing.
Cavities and cores out of line.
Mold plates are not parallel.
Mold not sealing off because of foreign materials₩ (flash) between surfaces.
Insufficient support in the mold for cavities and cores.
Projected area of parts too large for machine clamp force.
Insufficient venting.
Vent clearances too large.
Land area too large around cavities.
Unequal filling rates of cavities.
Interrupted flow into cavities.
Machine not set up correctly.
Clamp pressure not maintained.
Machine platens not parallel.
174
Feed setting too large.

Clamp pressure too low.
Boost time too long.
Inconsistent cycle operator caused.
Inconsistent cycle mold caused.
Inconsistent cycle machine caused.
SINK MARKS
Sink marks are usually caused by insufficient effective pressure on the part in
the cavity, insufficient material, or a part design problem. They occur when there
are heavy sections, particularly adjacent to thinner sections. Process control can
be used effectively to maintain consistent injection pressure, injection rate, and
packing or hold pressure.
Increase injection/pack pressure.
Increase injection speed.
Insufficient material in the mold (see SHORT SHOTS).
Increase injection pack/hold time.
Increase boost time.
Increase cushion.
Increase back pressure.
Material too hot causes excessive shrinkage.

Increase sprue diameter.
Increase nozzle flow increase temp., open up diameter of hole, reduce land.
Unequal filling of cavities.
Interrupted flow into cavities.
Improper gate location.
Uneven wall thickness (ribs, bosses). Core where possible.
BUBBLES
Bubbles are caused by insufficient plastic in the cavity. The resulting voids are
not due to acuum effects? but to internal shrinkage, volume reduction, after the
outside surface have hardened.
Process Control can be used effectively to help eliminate bubbles in molded parts
by insuring that desired fill rate and mold, packing, pressure are consistently
maintained from shot to shot. It is assumed that the cycle is consistent and that
the mold is balanced regarding filling.
Injection rate too low.
Injection pressure too low.
Insufficient material (see SHORT SHOTS).

Injection boost time insufficient.
Clamp pressure too high, if more venting required or volatiles present.
Increase mold temperature.
Maintain uniform mold temperature.
Air entrapment, Vent, relocate gate, See "Poor Welds.
Vent mold.
Dry hygroscopic material.
Pieces cooled too long in mold. Prevents pieces from shrinking from outside.
Put parts in hot water for cooling.
POOR WELDS
Poor welds are caused by insufficient pressure and temperature at the weld
location.
Process control can help to minimize poor welds when induced by injection
pressure variations, or when variations in pressure caused by temperature or
injection speed variations are minimized.
It is assumed that the cycle is consistent and that the mold is balanced regarding
filling.
Injection pressure too low.
Increase injection speed/change velocity profile.

Gates too small.
Sprue and nozzle openings too small.
Gate too distant from weld.
Lubricate material.
Contaminated material can reduce knitting properties.
Walls too thin causing premature freezing.
Shifting cores causing too thin walls.
Shot too large for the machine.
MATERIAL DISCOLORATION
Material is most often discolored by burning and the degradation of the material.
This is caused by excessive temperatures and the material hanging up somewhere
in the system.
Process control generally will not correct for a discoloration problem but will
minimize its occurrence if caused by variations in injection rate or injection
pressure.
It is assumed that the cycle is consistent and the mold is balanced regarding
filling.
Contaminated material.
Dirty machine.
Dirty atmosphere. Colorants can float in the air and settle in the hopper and
grinders.
176
Dirty hopper drier.

Remove and clean nozzle.
Purge screw barrel.
Reseat barrel.
Clean barrel.
Temperature control system malfunctioning.
Heater band(s) not operating.

Remove lubricant and oil from mold.
Investigate mold release agent.
Material may be releasing volatiles.
Material may be degrading.
Colorants may be degrading.
Additives may be degrading.
Put in smaller shot capacity machine.
Decrease back pressure.
WARPAGE & SHRINKAGE
Warpage and shrinkage are usually caused by molding conditions. In polylefins,
improper gating locations will cause source warpage. Heavy sections contribute
to this problem. High stress levels are a major factor in warpage.
Process control can maintain consistent pressure and fill rate once these have
been established. Any change in these variables will be automatically
compensated by the process control system, thus assuring those conditions do not
produce a bad part.
It is assumed that the cycle is consistent and that the mold is balanced regarding
filling.
Decrease injection pressure.
Decrease material pressure.
Decrease mold temperature (when attempting to reduce the temperature of the
molded part).
Increase cycle time.
Decrease mold breakaway speed.
Decrease injection forward time.
Decrease injection boost time.
Increase mold temperature (when attempting to reduce the stress level in the
molded part).
Prevent core pins from overheating.
Slow down ejection system.
Change gate size. Gates that are too large permit packing of material, and high
stress levels. Gates that are too small do not permit enough material to enter the
cavities and cause shrinking.
177
Change gating pattern.

Insufficient venting, particularly on deep draw parts.
Insufficient ejection area on piece.
Uneven ejection from mold.
Cool in fixture.
Cool in water.
Anneal parts after molding.
Reinforce warping sections by thickening walls and adding ribs.
Change part design.
Use faster setting material.
Wrong mold dimensions cause parts to appear to have shrunk excessively.
DIMENSIONAL CONTROL
Dimensional Variations are caused by inconsistent machine control, wrong
molding conditions, and poor part design. Process control can help to minimize
dimensional variations when they are induced by pressure and fill time variations.
Process control will help stabilize the molding process.
Injection pressure variation.
Increase injection pressure.
Incorrect mold dimensions causing parts to appear out of tolerance.

Incorrect gate size.
Decrease material temperature.
Large difference in particle size in hopper.
Variation of particle size from batch to batch.
Check cycle time consistency.
Insufficient machine capacity.
STICKING IN THE MOLD
Parts stick in the mold primarily because of mold defects, insufficient knockout
(KO) and packing of material into the mold.
Process control will help to minimize problems if due to excessive packing
pressure.
Mold and part design problems are generally not correctable with process control.
It is assumed that the machine is correctly adjusted and capable of producing
good parts with no sticking.
Reduce injection/pack pressure.
Shorten time to cutoff of boost
Undercut(s) in mold.
178
Burring, scratching, and pitting of the mold.

Lubricate material.
Part degrading and losing mechanical strength.
Redesign part.
Radius and reinforce where possible.
If part remains on wrong side, undercut other side, change tapers, provide mold
temperature differential, i.e. cool core additionally.
STICKING OF SPRUE
Sprue sticking is caused by improperly fitted sprue/nozzle interface, pitted sprue,
inadequate pull-back and packing.
Process control will generally not eliminate sprue sticking problems.
Check nozzle-sprue seating.
Be sure that nozzle orifice is smaller than sprue orifice.
Polish sprue.
Increase decompress after rotate.
Radius sprue-runner conjunction.
Increase sprue diameter (if too small for strength) or decrease sprue diameter if
too large for cooling.
Increase sprue taper.

10. Reduce injection hold time.
11. Reduce feed.
12. Reduce mold temperature.
13. Reduce material temperature.
179
14. If sprue is too hot, cool as required.

15. See if material is contaminated.
NOZZLE DROOLING
Nozzle drooling is generally caused by a low viscosity or crystalline material at
too high a temperature.
Process control will generally not eliminate or reduce nozzle drooling.
Use nozzle shut-off.
Use reverse taper nozzle.
Reduce nozzle orifice diameter.
Increase "pull-back" (decompression).
Reduce nozzle temperature.
Reduce material temperature.
Dry hygroscopic material.
EXCESSIVE CYCLE TIME
Excessive cycles are usually caused by insufficient plasticizing capacity,
inadequate cooling channels and cooling water, erratic cycles, and poor
management.
Process control can help stabilize molding conditions, pressure, fill rate, etc.,
thus minimizing the cycle variations which can lead to an upset of the cycle.
Generally, however, it will be necessary to correct the causes before process
control will be effective.
Adjust velocity profile.
Incorrect setting of controls (cure time, pack/hold time, speed setting).
Increase screw RPM.
Malfunctioning of machine.
Decrease back to pressure.
Platen motion slowdown excessive.
Low pressure closing time excessive.
Erratic cycle caused by machine, mold, and operator.
Insufficient plasticizing capacity.
Insufficient mold cooling channels.
Inadequate water cooling capacity.
Material temperature too high.
Material too slow in setting up.
Too much for the operator to do, and so is not ready for the next cycle.
SPLAY-MICA-FLOW MARKS
Splay-mica-flow marks can be due to contaminated or degraded material, or
material that is too cold and fills too slowly.
Process control can minimize the formation of these appearance defects if they
are induced into the system because of a change in fill rate (slower). It is obvious
that if contaminated material or degraded material is the cause, process control
cannot correct.

Section 9 MACHINE MAINTAIN AND REPAIR
machine maintenance and repair
To obtain the longest service life and to ensure the best performance at all time,
the machine shall be checked periodically. The O-rings or oil seals in the machine
may deteriorate with time and lose their function. They shall therefore be
replaced by parts with the same specifications. When the machine has been
stopped for a prolong period, or when a different resin is to be used, the machine
must be purged so that all remaining material in the barrel of the last operation is
removed. If it is necessary to remove the heating barrel for cleaning, take care
during re-assemble. Heat resistant lubrication oil shall be applied to the screw
thread of nozzle, distributer and the screw fixing the nozzle unit.
REGULAR INSPECTION
Daily Inspection
Check the oil level in the central lubrication system. Refill if necessary.
WEEKLY INSPECTION
Grease all movable parts that require lubrication.
Check for possible loose limit switches.
Check for possible oil leakage in the pipings or fittings. Tighten or reconnect
them if required.
MONTHLY INSPECTION
Check for possible loose electrical wiring .
Make sure that the hydraulic oil is clean. Refill when necessary.
Clean oil filters.
Check the condition of the fans, clean the dust filter or replace if necessary.
ANNUAL INSPECTION
Refill the tank with new hydraulic oil. This will increase the life of all hydraulic
components.
Clean every thermocouple contact point.
Check every connection of the electric wires in the cabinet. Check also if the
coating of the wires has hardened and fallen off so as to avoid possible short
circuit.
190
MACHINE MAINTAIN AND REPAIR
Check all LEDs.
Clean the motor and all hydraulic valves. If there are some dust on the surface of
the motor, it leads to difficult radiation of heat for motor.
