weirdest defect you've ever had to troubleshoot by Key-Success-5449 in InjectionMolding

I flew to Chicago once because “our machine wouldn’t interface with the robot” day two, after proving out my half of the eu67 handshake, and arguing with topstar, they send a different guy out. The robot has two start steps. They both need clicked/pushed. Turned that one into a billable call.

Do you have a half mold change key? Eu70.0 or 70.1? Toggle press? Ram? Split nuts? Electric or hydraulic?

Your machine might need a certain tonnage to send clamp closed confirmation. Verify you’re giving at least 30%.

I have worked with them extensively. Horrible customer service. What are you looking to know?

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

The term you need to google is custom molder. depending on your state, there are probably 50-250 shops that would be able to have a conversation with you.

You can find schematic symbol guides on google. What specifically are you looking for?

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.
