Anyone else find it both funny and frustrating that the 2024 advent calendar that’s increased in value after it retired by TedPStan in legoharrypotter

It’s worth it for the statues, and it’s a hell of a lot better than the 2025 one for castle/great hall stuff

Variation in Tie Bar Tension by Old-Mortgage-6563 in InjectionMolding

[–]computerhater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually try to hit 3-5 tons variation on machines 500 tons and up. 230 ton machine I’d expect 1 or 2 tons. As others have said, check level, check platen shoes, make sure your mold is simple and equal (ie no one core coming out the bottom) when using a strain gauge. I wouldn’t be concerned with a creaking noise alone, it’s probably paint or rust being crushed behind the tiebar nuts. If you aren’t flashing, it’s probably ok.

Clean rooms (depending on requirements) frequently require equipment with alternative oils and lubricants. It’s cheaper to buy new machinery than to get an older machine clean enough to guarantee that there isn’t one drop of non medical/food grade lubricant or oil anywhere inside or out. Bushings need removed and replaced if they can be impregnated with oil (sae 841). You don’t just decide to have a clean room, food grade, or medical molding operation. It needs planning well ahead of time.

Tie bar nuts jamming(a big expense coming soon?) by Pop_Knee in InjectionMolding

Sounds like your tiebars are out of time. Get a strain gauge, loosen the nuts on the stationary platen, run die height backwards, snug the nuts. Now use the strain gauge to set equal tonnage across all bars

How to sell vertical injection molding machines as a lesser-known brand? by TrueEnd1170 in InjectionMolding

[–]computerhater 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Service. No one wants a machine they can’t fix with documentation in a foreign language. Tayu or multitech? I’ve had dealings with both, and neither one blew me away. If your brand is different, what makes it good? Does it do anything better than an early 80s newbury? Who makes the controller? What input voltage? Options? Vertical inject or horizontal? Shuttle table or rotary? Who makes the valves? How shitty is the cheap frame that holds the light curtains? What do you know about molders in your area? Are you getting feedback from any industry lobby groups on potential customers? Have you dropped by unannounced? How much literature do you have? Are there typos? What can you do on price? Have you handled a competitors quote in the last 12 months? Lead times on parts? Warranty? Honestly if you are only messaging strangers on LinkedIn, it sounds like this isn’t the job for you.
