A high-speed vertical injection molding machine is essential for manufacturing various thin plastic products in different shapes by using a range of plastics and molds. The clamping force required will vary based on factors such as the type of material, product surface area, and shape.
It is recommended to set the clamping force at a level that meets the actual production needs, ensuring it remains lower to minimize energy consumption and prolong the machine’s operational life.
Each action within the hydraulic system of a high-speed vertical injection molding machine requires individual pressure adjustments according to specific demands. Optimizing the pressure can lead to energy savings.
Additionally, the positions of the limit switches on the machine need to be adjusted to align with the product specifications. Special attention should be given to the transition point between injection and holding pressure to ensure proper mold filling. Failure to do so may cause issues such as incomplete filling, excessive internal stress, product flash, or mold swelling, which can result in difficulties when opening the mold.
When operating a high-speed vertical injection molding machine, safety measures must be a priority. Start by inspecting the safety door and electronic grating system to confirm their reliability.
While the machine is running, avoid placing your hands near the clamping area, and do not insert them into the nozzle or sprue. If mold repairs are needed, ensure that the hydraulic pump motor is switched off before proceeding.
