THE USER INTERFACE & IMPORTANT KEYS OF INJECTION MOLDING

LNC6 PLC INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE

The efficiency of the machine is based on the use of microprocessor control. In order to operate these control systems reliably it is necessary to keep them free of all interference. We have suppressed possible sources of interference. However, with regard to sources of interference outside the machine, suitable measures must be taken by the users.

The user interface, also popularly called as IBED (pronounced ‘eye bed’) by TMIC users, is an important device for operating the machine.
Here In This Blog You are going to learn about function keys and some special keys About injection molding plc. 




MAIN FUNCTION KEYS

*The ‘ABC…’ key switches the Manual and ‘F’ keys into ASCII characters including letters.  This key should be activated while entering alphanumeric data.

*If ABC mode is not pressed, the LED is off.  Then the machine is in normal mode.
*If ABC mode is pressed once, the LED will blink intermittently and now the alphanumeric data can be entered in lower case.   *If ABC mode is pressed twice, the LED will glow continuously and now the alphanumeric data can be entered in upper case.  


They Are some special keys which are been reserved for special functions they are been used in special functions and p

 Cursor keys are the important keys by pressing these keys you can easily move your cursor to look and set your machine settings cursor has options like ( UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT ) and at the centre there is a home key by pressing that key you can easily access back to your home option .


Numeric keypad is the set of keys that are in your plc Numbers they are from 0-9 you can type that numbers by simply pressing these keys u can directly write those numbers on your screen and to Enter or save those numbers PRESS E-Enter key and to cancel out that  PRESS C-cancel .



These are some manual keys and mode selection keys that means by pressing these keys You can perform the function manually in a Hand mode or some functions in setting mode.




  •  

By pressing the suitable mode key, the operating mode of the machine can be selected.  

 

Setup mode should be selected during initial mould setup. While the machine is in setup mode, all the movements will be restricted to setup speed and pressure. 

 

In manual mode virtually all the machine movements are possible by pressing respective manual keys. 

 

In semi-auto mode the machine completes one complete cycle and comes to a stop. The cycle has to be restarted every time by pressing the cycle start key.  

 

In auto mode the machine cycles continuously till an interruption occurs. A prerequisite for automatic operation is the automatic ejection of components.  

 

The current mode of operation is indicated by the glowing LED. 

 

 




The Pump and the Heaters On / OFF buttons are of toggle type, i.e. pressing the button switches ON the device if it is OFF and vice versa. A lighted LED indicates the ON condition of the motor and heater contactor. In case of an alarm condition, the hooter gives a ‘beep’ sound. Pressing the hooter acknowledge button switches off the heater.

TROUBLESHOOTING FLASH IN INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE

FLASH IN INJECTION MOLDING PRODUCT Flash is Nothing but just an extra material over the molded product , Flash causes loss of material at the time of molding and sometimes it also destroys the surface beauty of the product . MAJOR CAUSES OF FLASH 1. Material Too Hot at the time of injection and in the mold. 2. Injection pressure is too high. 3. Excessive Feeding of the material in the mold. 4. Improper or Uneven feeding of the material. 5. Poor parting line or the mating surfaces of the mold. 6. Mold deficiency means problem in the mold manufacturing. 7. Injection Pressure is higher than Clamping pressure. 8. Erratic or uneven or improper cycle time. TROUBLE SHOOTING THE FLASH TEMPERATURE :   Check the cylinder temperature that means check the temperature of your barrel make it low if it is higher. Reduce the temperature  of the nozzle that is an important aspect. Reduce the mold temperature if it is higher. MOLDING SETTINGS : Increase the clamping force to make proper cl...

COMPLETE PROCESS PAGE OF INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE -1

Image
This page comprises of the most important process parameter. Cycle time Set  The set cycle time acts as a monitoring time for the completion of cycle. If, due to some reason, the cycle fails to complete within the set time, the machine will signal an alarm.  Actual: The time taken by the machine to complete one cycle. The set cycle time should be higher than the actual cycle time.          Cycle time - last shot                     #   The time taken by the machine to complete the previous shot. Useful for checking the effect of a change in the process parameter.         Blocking time                 #  Blocking time starts after the set cycle time expires. At the end of blocking time the machine goes into shut-off mode as per the switch off matrix setting.         Pa...

TROUBLESHOOTING WELD LINES / FLOW MARKS IN INJECTION MOLDING

 WELD LINES AND FLOW MARKS MAJOR CAUSES FOR THE DEFECT : Molten plastic material is too cold in the mold after injection. when there is an excessive mold lubricant in the mold. Mold is too cold . Injection speed is slow. Low injection pressure. Volatile gas are been trapped in the mold. Air unable to escape from the mold as fast as it should.           TROUBLE SHOOTING : Increase injection pressure. Increase injection speed. Increase plasticizing capacity of machine if possible. TEMPERATURE : Increase Barrel / Cylinder temperature. Increase Nozzle temperature. Increase Mold Temperature. Make proper/even/balanced cooling system for the mold. MOLD : Add proper vent on the mold. Increase the runner system in the feed channel. Increase the gate system. Increase the opening of sprue. Make necessary adjustment for the mold adjustment. Thick the particular area where the welded part is too thin. Filling rate of the material in the mold should be equal. Incre...
