1.1.3. Principle Safety Objective

1) The principle safety objective is to remove the possibility of any hazard or risk to the
health or safety of the machine operator or service personnel.

2) Extreme caution must be exercised while servicing or installing the machine. Do not
manually actuate any safety switches, particularly with the guards removed, as this may
cause unanticipated machine response.

3) The only safe policy when working or inspecting the machine is to follow the instructions in
this manual. Wherever possible shut off all electrical power and follow the procedures out-
lined in section 1.2.6..

4) Accident prevention should become part the of standard working, operating and mainte-
nance procedures, and training should be provided to ensure safety standards are under-
stood. Part of the safety training should include the instructions detailed in this section.

5) Certain processed polymer materials may give off harmful or irrational gases. This must
be taken into account when designing the installation area and adequate provision should
be included for removal of any gases.

6) If ancillary equipment is to be fitted ensure this is done in accordance with the relevant
standards, and that all requirements for safety are fully met

7) Always ensure servicing and maintenance tasks are carried out by suitable qualified per-
sonnel. The operator should understand the limits of their responsibility, and the training
should reinforce the importance of not exceeding them.

8) The essential routine safety checks play an important role in ensuring the machine contin-
ues to work in a safe manner. These checks must be carried out in accordance with the
instructions at the recommended intervals.

9) If there are any questions or doubts regarding any aspect of machine safety or operation
or maintenance, please contact the help line number shown on the front of this manual.

1-24 NM011C01
Safety Precautions LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

1.4. Inspection Every Ten Days

1) Confirming the strength of the safety gate. Grip the knob and shake it slightly
back and forth and then up and down, to ensure that the safety gate has not
been damaged. Additionally, examine the transparent panel to ensure that
it adheres sufficiently to the gate.

2) Ensure that the safety gate rail is securely fixed. Check to ensure that the
roller for the rail and the gate have no abnormal play or that the rail supporting
bracket is not loosened, which could result in derailing of the safety gate.

3) Check to ensure that bolts have not been loosened.

4) Check to ensure that the safety gate open and close stopper installation bolts
are not loosened.

5) Check to ensure that the safety gate limit switch (LS1, LS1A, LS1C) installation
bolts are not loosened.

6) Check to ensure that the safety gate limit switch pushing cam is not bent.

7) Check to ensure that the cam valve (L1) roller has no play.

8) Check to ensure that the cam valve (L1) pushing dog or cam has no play, and
that the installation bolts are not loosened.

9) Check to ensure that all other bolts related to the safety gate and the rail are
not loosened.

10) Check to ensure that the installation bolts for the tie rod nuts, barrel, barrel
head and other components are not loosened, and perform additional tighten-
ing.

1.5. Precautions for Injection

1) During purging, such as when starting and


changing molding materials, perform in-
jection with the injection speed lowered to
prevent decomposed resin from dispersing.
During the operation, stay away from the
nozzle.

2) Turn OFF the power switch before remov-


ing the screw. Do not stand in the screw
removal direction, in order to avoid injury
if the screw jumps out.

3) Prior to removing the nozzle and the barrel


head, empty the barrel of any resin by
closing the shutter and repeated charges
and injections. If the nozzle and the bar-
rel head are removed with some resin re-
maining, flowing resin can interrupt the work. If decomposed resin flows out,
it can be very dangerous.

1-25 NM011C01
Safety Precautions LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

4) Keep hands and face away from the nozzle tip after the barrel temperature
risen. Gas pressure can cause molten resin to gush out even when it is not
injected.

5) Wear face, hand and arm protectors when inspecting and cleaning the hopper.
Molten resin or gases may gush out.

6) In the vented type injection molding machine, vented resin should not be re-
moved during screw rotation or injection. Molten resin or gases may gush out
of the vent port while vented resin is being removed, or when the vent port is
inspected. Be sure to wear a face protector.

7) Thermal resins such as polyvinyl chloride and polyacetal resins, which are
likely to thermally decompose, must be purged after completing molding opera-
tions, and must be replaced with stable resins, i.e. polytyrene.

8) Never remove dripping resin from the nozzle when it is advancing. Your hands
may get caught between the nozzle and the mold. The nozzle must be
stopped before removal of dripping resin.

9) Do not step on the nozzle safety cover or the barrel cover. This cover is de-
signed to prevent burns and electric shocks. If can be extremely dangerous.

10) Never operate the machine if the hopper has been removed.

11) Confirm that the temperature control of the barrel is proper. If the tempera-
ture is too high, heat loss will occur, and molten resin could gush out.

1.6. Precaution for Clamping

1) Danger of inserting finger through the wire mesh of the safety gate or the
transparent panel requires immediate repair. Never remove molded products
from a hole. Be sure to open the safety gate before taking out molded prod-
ucts.

2) During machine operation, never put your hands into the injection molding ma-
chine over or around a safety gate. Never touch moving parts of the injection
molding machine.

3) Inspect the safety devices daily.

4) Check the mold mounting blots. If the mold is not properly secured, the mold
may slide or fall during the injection molding process. Extreme caution should
be exercised, especially while nozzle continue to advance. Give sufficient
consideration to the maximum clamp opening force and nozzle sealing force,
and maintain the proper bolt size, number of bolts and tap depth. The tap
depth should be more than 1.5 times the bolt diameter. Pay attention to en-
sure that the mounting bolts are evenly fitted to the upper, lower, right and left
sides of the mold. Periodic additional tightening is required, as the mounting
bolts may become loose during molding operations.

5) If the safety device is opened or the machine is stopped while the mold is being
closed, the moving platen may open slightly. If the mold is not clamped to the
platen with installation bolts, a mold which is not equipped with a locating ring
may fall, which is very dangerous. The mold should be lifted by a crane or

1-26 NM011C01
Safety Precautions LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

some other means until clamping with installation bolts is completed.

1.7. Precaution for the Hydraulic System

1) Do not set hydraulic pressure higher than the prescribed value. If the pres-
sure exceeds the prescribed value, it may not only shorten the effective life of
the injection molding machine, it may also cause a serious accident.

2) Do not attempt to hold the pipe, flange or other parts with your hands to pre-
vent oil leakage. High-pressure oil can cause serious injuries.

3) Ensure that hoses have no cracks or signs of deterioration. Spouting oil from
a torn rubber hose is very dangerous.

4) Since high-pressure hydraulic fluid is flowing in the hydraulic system, check


plugs, valve plugs and clamping bolts for looseness, and tighten them. If they
are loose, the plugs could come out, and the highly pressurized oil could spout
out due to damage caused by repeated load, which is extremely dangerous.

5) If hydraulic fluid temperature is below 15℃ , operate the pump with no load until
the temperature risen to 15℃ .

1.8. Precaution for the Electric System

1) Ensure that the machine frame and operation panel are grounded, and that the
connections are not corroded. Always exercise extreme care to avoid short
circuiting.

2) Do not unplug a connector under a loaded condition.

3) Ensure that the heater wiring is not loose, and that bare wires are not ex-
posed. Be sure to Turn OFF the heater power and measure the voltage at in-
spection points to ensure that the power is OFF before inspection. Insulate the
heater wire connections with heat-resistant tape. Vinyl tape should not be util-
ized because it melts.

4) Replace damaged power supply and motor drive indicator lamps, so that they
always reflect actual operating conditions. Replace other damaged parts even
when machine operation is not directly affected by them.

5) Be sure to close the operation panel cover before operating the machine. Do
not put your hands into the cover carelessly to avoid dust entry and electric
shocks

6) Use your right hand to turn ON and OFF the power switch. Keep your left
hand away from the instruments and the machine body.

7) After the machine has been stopped, confirm that the machine is on the MAN-
UAL operating mode, that is any of Operating Mode key is not depressed ex-
cept for the MANUAL key. If this is not done, the sudden restart of the ma-
chine could cause a serious accident.

8) Be sure to turn OFF the power and measure the voltage at check points to en-

1-27 NM011C01
Safety Precautions LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

sure that the power is OFF before doing any electric work. If testing of elec-
tric circuits is required with supplying of electric power, remove all tools and
other materials, and perform the check with special care. Also, ensure that
the work area is dry and use electrically insulated shoes and gloves.

9) When performing electric work, be sure to remove any metallic tools, watches,
jewelry and eye glasses.

10) Do not leave the operating panel cover or control panel door open.

11) Ensure that the machine is properly grounded.

12) Ensure that a ground leakage breaker for preventing electric shocks is in-
stalled.

13) Points ”11)” and ”12)” also apply to any peripheral devices.

1.9. Other Precautions

1) Perform machine maintenance, adjustment oil supply, cleaning, etc. only after
stopping the machine.

2) When performing maintenance or repair, be sure to place an " UNDER REPAIR"


sign on the machine.

3) When there are several workers for mold set-up, machine maintenance, repair,
adjustment, oil supply or cleaning, do not operate the machine before checking
the position of each worker and notifying each worker.

4) If a step or a machine cover has been removed, reinstall it and make sure that
the bolts are securely tightened.

5) If necessary, order additional caution plates to ensure that all safety precau-
tions in this manual are observed.

6) Follow basic safety precaution, in order to ensure safe operation of the ma-
chine at all times.

1.10. Four Principles Regarding Safety

2-16 NM011C02
Installation LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

2.5.2. Prevention of Electric Shocks

To prevent accidents caused by leakage or electric shock, observe the following


precautions.

1) Ensure that the machine is properly grounded.


Operating voltage under 400V .............. Resistance to ground < 100 ohms
Operating voltage over 400V ................ Resistance to ground < 10 ohms
High voltages ...................................... Resistance to ground < 10 ohms
All metal chassis of related equipment must be directly connected to the main
ground terminal of the machine. This keeps all metal bodies at the same
electric potential, reducing the chance of an accident.

2) Grounding of the machine cannot completely prevent electric shocks.


Under normal conditions, the machine will not cause an electric shock.
However, if a power line contacts the metal body of the machine, or insulation
failure causes a ground-fault, a large current may flow to ground causing the
voltage of the machine body to increase. Therefore, equipment such as a leak-
breaking device is required.

3) Regarding the Role of the Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker.


For machines and instruments with low voltage, which are provided with a
metal outer box and utilize voltage over 60 volts, a device which automatically
breaks the electric line when electric current begins to leak to the ground must
be equipped at the electric line installed at the location where there is a danger
of the machine operator(s) easily contacting the machine or instrument.

4) The setting location is indicated as follows.


Except in the case where the machine or instrument is equipped with a leakage
breaker, the breaker is equipped on the side of the distribution panel or in the
distribution panel. It has been found that the leak-breaking device should be
equipped near the power source of the electric line, if at all possible.

2.6. Piping for Cooling Water (To be performed by the Customer)

Cooling water is required for the material supply part (injection bracket below the
hopper), and heat exchanger (for hydraulic fluid). Install hoses to the supply and drain

2-17 NM011C02
Installation LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

ports as indicated on the "FOUNDATION".

Observing the following precautions.

1) Since the amount of water required varies depending on ambient temperature,


molding conditions, and cooling water temperature, a stop valve must be provided
midway through the respective water lines.

2) Avoid using hard water to prevent clogging of the cooling water system.

3) Minimum required amounts of water are indicated below. It is necessary to install


hoses that can handle three times theses flow volumes.

4) If ambient temperatures are likely to be below 0 ℃ ,drain cooling water after


operation.

5) Install separate lines to the heat exchanger/hopper throat and mold.


A branch from the same pipe causes more water to flow to the heat exchanger /
hopper throat side, making it impossible to accurately control the flow to the mold.

3. When mold closing is finished, push [*](asterisk) key for 5 Seconds on the KEY
panel and then the Hicom300 controller calibrate the zero position automatically.

③ LS2A(Mold prevention start position; low speed)


This position is very important for the mold prevention. When the moveable platen moving
at high speed is reached at the position LS2A, the speed of the platen is changed to
low speed to reduce the shock produced by contact of the two platens.
Set the stroke so that there is no shock, when the platens contact each other.
At the beginning,set LS2A to little long then gradually make is short.
For initial set value, set it to 100mm.

④ VO1(Primary mold opening speed; slow speed and high pressure)


For the initial set value, set it to 40%.
⑤ VO2, VO3(secondary, third mold opening speed; fast mold opening speed)
For the initial set value, set it to 40%.

4) Setting the Low Pressure of Clamping :

During Mold closing movement, especially the distance from LS2A to LS2, is
performed at the low pressure, the Low Pressure of Calmping, so that a mold can
be prevented from damage.
In addition if the SET-UP operation mode is selected, machine operates at the
pressure, therefore the Low Pressure of Clamping is important for preventing
damage of a mold.
Turn the handle of the R3( Relief Control Valve for low pressure) and set it to the
minimum value which makes the mold can close completely.
It should be 35 kg/cm 2 ( 500psi) ~ 70 kg/cm 2 (1000 psi), which is indicated on
clamp pressure gauge G1.

NOTE : Never increase the pressure over the specified value.

② When a mold which is nearly half as large as the distance between tie rods is
utilized, lower the clamping pressure to the extent where flash is not
produced on molded products. If this is not done, excessive force will be
imposed on the injection molding machine. Generally, lowering the clamping
pressure to the point where flash is not produced will reduce electric power
consumption and prolong the life of the injection molding machine.

5) Final setting
To make the optimal setting, change the set values of LS2B, LS2A, LS3P, LS3B,
VC1, VC2, VO1, VO2, and VO3 as described below
① Turn the OPERATION selector switch to MANUAL position
② Gradually Increase VC1, VC2, VO1, VO2 and VO3 while closing and opening
the mold.
③ The fastest set of mold closing movement is achieved by decreasing the
values of LS2B and LS2A, until shock does not happen at the moment of mold
contact.
④ The fastest set of mold opening movement is achieved by increasing the

6) Setting (PS1) for Confirming Clamp Pressure Increase :


This emits the signal of the next movement (nozzle advance – injection) by means of
detecting the clamping pressure increase and, at the same time, unloads all pumps except
clamp holding pump PF1. Accordingly, when the detecting pressure more than the
clamping pressure is set, the clamping pressure increase cannot be detected. Set the
value slightly lower than the clamping pressure. When turning the handle in the clockwise
direction, the pressure becomes high, and when turning the handle in the counterclockwise
direction, the pressure becomes low.
But the value has been already set to optimal value by LS Mtron. Therefore there is no need to
be set by user.

7) Over stroke Prevention (LS11) in case of LGH75,140, 160,200, 350N


① The proximity switch LS11 is set to prevent the over stroke of clamping cylinder.
② When the machine is shipped from LS Mtron at first, the over stroke limit of LS11 is
fixed with the spacer mounted.
NOTE :
Please unfasten the socket bolt (2-M5x8) and remove the dog.
After setting clamp side control according to the preceding procedures, confirm movements by
setting a operation mode of the machine to MOLD SET-UP and repeating OPEN and CLOSE
with the MOLD key on the operation panel.

CAUTION :
Never change the position of clamp side control while the mold is moving. Be sure to
perform setting after the mold has stopped.

4.3.1. Adjustment of Injection

1) Setting of Charging
① Torque Changeover (LGH450N ~ LGH1000N)
Shift the torque changeover lever to the 'A' position to set it to the low speed-high
torque side. on the other hand, 'B' position is high speed-low torque side.

② LS5(Charging stroke)
At first, calculate the needed stroke(S) concerned with the weight of the product by
using the formula shown below. S : the needed stroke[mm]
W : Weight of product [grams]
(W × 10) A : Sectional area of screw
S=
(A × ρ × η)
π
A= 4
D2 [cm2]
Resin name ρ × η Screw tip
ρ : Specific gravity [g/cm2]
PS 0.53 A
η : Injection efficiency
PE 0.42 A D : Screw diameter [cm]

Determine LS5 by adding a cushion amount of about 5mm to the calculated value
S.

LS5 = S + 5mm

At the beginning, set LS5 to a little shorter value then gradually make it longer observing the
condition of the molded product.

③ VS1 and VS2(charging speed)


Charging speed depends on the type of molding material.

④ BP1, BP2, BP3(screw back pressure)


In principle, some back pressure should always be used, in exception case however, it
may be dispensed with; it is ultimately the quality requirement of the melt and the

4-12 NM011C04
Start-up adjustment LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

component which are the decisive factors.


Set the screw back pressures to the values which increase toward the end of charging.
However, it usually range from 5kg/cm2(71lb/in2) to 15kg/cm2(213lb/in2).

③ LS10A, LS10(suck-back stroke)

Our machine has two stages of suck-back.


After charging with back-pressure, the melt is under some pressure. If open nozzle is
used with your machine, there is a danger of drooling from the nozzle after sprue-break.
This cause stringing and material built-up. Without relieving the pressure on hot
runners, residual material would adversely affects the following shot. The melt is
therefore forcibly relieved of pressure after charging by sucking the screw backwards.

The suck-back is set according to the decompression required and the volume of melt
to be decompressed. It should only ever be set as high as absolutely necessary. Too
much suck-back can draw air into the melt which causes visual defects.

z LS10A(first Suck-back stroke)

z LS10(second Suck-back stroke)


Generally, we recommend 3~5 mm as proper suck-back amount, that is

LS10 = LS5 + 3 ~5mm

2) Setting of injection
① VH(Injection speed during holding)
Generally, the injection speed during the holding is set to 10 ~30%.

② LS4(Holding changeover position)


Holding pressure is important to give the molded product consistency on the quality.
When the screw reaches the advance limit, if the holding pressure does not activate on

4-13 NM011C04
Start-up adjustment LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

the molded product , some molding problems such as sink marks, short shots, and
irregularities can be occurred. Therefore set the LS4 so that the screw can stop 2~3mm
before the advance limit at the moment the gates are sealed.
Generally, the holding changeover position is set to 5 ~10mm.
For the initial value, set the LS4 to 10% of the shot size.

③ VI1, VI2, VI3, VI4, LS4A, LS4B, LS4C(Injection speed and Injecion speed changeover
position during filling)
Set the Injection speeds VI1 VI2, VI3, and VI4 and injection speed changeover
positions LS4A, LS4B, and LS4C during filling depending on the condition of the
molded product.
VI4 is usually used for accurate control of the holding position.
For the initial value, roughly set VI1, VI2 and VI3 to 50 ~ 80%, VI4 to 20 ~
50%.

Set Injection speed changeover position LS4A and LS4B to the medium value
between the LS5 and LS4C.
Set LS4C to the value added 5 ~15mm to the LS4.

④ PP, PI2, PI1(injection pressure)


Variable range : 00 ~99%.
With 99 percent set value, a machine has 140kgf/cm2 injection pressure. The maximum
pressure had been adjusted by engineers of LS Mtron
User can obtain a needed injection pressure by entering a percent number in
proportion to the injection pressure.
Use the formula,

A needed injection pressure

and enter the calculated set value at each profiles

⑤ PH1, PH2, PH3(Injection pressure during holding)


At the beginning, set PH1, PH2, PH3 rather low (10 ~20%), then gradually increase by

4-14 NM011C04
Start-up adjustment LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

observing the condition of the molded product.

Method of identifying PH1, PH2 and PH3.


z PH1(primary holding pressure) : Set the TRH1 little long and keep depressing the
SCREW ADVANCE key, then the value of the G2 gauge is the PH1. Set the PH1
profile to the value which is needed using the G2 gauge.
z PH2(secondary holding pressure) : Set the TRH1 to zero, the TRH2 rather long,
and keep depressing the SCREW ADVANCE key, then the value of the G2 gauge
is the PH2. Set the PH2 profile to the value which is needed using the G2 gauge.
z PH3(third holding pressure) : Set the TRH1 and TRH2 to zero, and keep
depressing the SCREW ADVANCE key, then the value of the G2 gauge is the PH3.
Set the PH3 profile to the value which is needed using the G2 gauge

⑥ TRH1, TRH2(holding changeover time)

4.3.2. Adjustment of Nozzle

Adjust the nozzle according to the following procedures.

1) Selection of Nozzle Retract Timing

Set value NOZZLE MODE


0 Continuous
1 Cooling Completion
2 Charging Completion
3 Injection Completion

① CONTINUOUS ADVANCE
This mode is utilized to avoid resin drooling from the nozzle. The cycle is shortened
because the nozzle is kept touching the mold. In this case, mount the mold on the
stationary platen with more than six(6) M16 or M20 M24 bolts: otherwise, the mold may
drop.

② COOLING COMPLETION
Generally, this is utilized for molding with the nozzle once separated from the mold
during each cycle, utilizing an open nozzle. The nozzle retracts at "time out" of cooling
timer . Set cooling timer longer than the charging time.

③ CHARGE COMPLETION
This is utilized for molding with the nozzle once separated from the mold during each
cycle, utilizing an open nozzle. The nozzle retracts at the same time as charge out.
With suck-back equipped, the nozzle starts to retract after suck-back.

④ INJ. COMPLETION
Generally, this mode is utilized when the valve type nozzle (optional specifications) is
equipped. The nozzle retracts at INJ. COMPLETION, and starts charging.

2) Confirmation of Nozzle Movement :


Depress the NOZZLE ADVANCE and RETRACT key several times alternately, and
confirm the movement. Depress the MOLD CLOSE key until the mold is reach the mold

4-16 NM011C04

close limit, then keep pushing the NOZZLE ADVANCE key until the nozzle under the
condition where the nozzle is pressed against the mold sprue bushing.

3) Setting Nozzle Advance Limit (LS7) :


Clamp the cam knob at the point where the nozzle advance limit switch (LS7) cam slightly
activates the limit switch.

4.4. Timer Functions and Settings

Timers displayed on the screen of HICOM-300. Set these timers optionally, according to the
molding conditions.

1) injection Timer (TR1)


This is the timer for setting the injection time, which starts at the same time that injection
is started. Injection is completed when this timer reaches the "time out' condition.

2) Cooling Timer (TR3)


This is the timer for setting mold cooling time, which starts at the same time that injection
is completed. Cooling is completed with the timer at "time out", and the mold is opened.
When an open nozzle is utilized, set this timer longer than charge out.

3) Interval Timer (TR4)


In the case of either AUTOMATIC or SEMI-AUTOMATIC operation, this timer starts from
the mold open limit. During AUTOMATIC operation, the mold restarts with TR4 at "time
out". During SEMI-AUTOMATIC operation, the mold restarts by opening and closing the
safety gate with (TR4) at "time out".

4) Low Pressure Clamping(TR6)


This timer starts timing at the same time that low-pressure clamping (LS2A) is activated.
If the timer reaches "time out" before mold advance limit (LS2) is activated (for example,
when foreign material is put between the mold halves), the buzzer which indicates an
abnormal clamping condition is activated, "Low PRESS ALAM" is shown in the lower part
of each page and the mold is automatically opened.

5) TR17 (Timer for Power Saving)


The time to start unloading the pump (PF1) for holding the clamp pressure after the
completion of injection is set with this timer. The time varies according to the molding
conditions (especially cooling time), but it is generally set at approximately one (1)
second. In a case where the cooling time is especially long, set this timer longer. (With
the snap switch set at the OFF position, unloading is performed after the completion of
charging.)
NOTE :
There is a case where charging cannot be performed when an open nozzle is utilized.
Set the cooling timer (TR3) longer than the charging time.

5.3. Setting the Barrel Temperature

Molding temperature should be determined prior to the commencing of injection


depending on molding process, according to the molding material and the mold
structure. The temperatures of the NH, H1, H2, H3 and H4 zones are set according
to the intrinsic molten temperature of the molding material.

The barrel temperature is set according to the following order.

1) Open the cooling water valve and apply cooling water through the bottom
section of the hopper.

2) Confirm that the barrel zones and the positions of the thermocouples are in
conformity. To perform confirmation, pull the thermocouple out from the
mouthpiece and contact it to a heat source, such as hot water. The applicable
thermocouple is considered to be normal if the value of Actual profile on
Temperature screen of Hicom 300 controller rises. Confirm in order, from the
nozzle (NH) to the barrel (H1 - H4). For confirmation of the position of the
thermocouples, enter the temperature at the Set value profile on Temperature
screen of Hicom 300 controller to approximately the same temperature as the
room temperature.

5-6 NM011C05
Molding Operation LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

Insert the tip of the thermocouple tightly into the bottom section of the barrel hole:
otherwise, temperature will be inaccurate.

3) Determine the set temperatures by entering needed temperature at the Set


value profile on the Temperature screen of the Hicom 300 controller.

Enter set value

NOTE :
When a UNI-MELT screw (optional Equipment) is utilized, set the temperature
slightly lower than the standard temperature of H1, as shearing heat may be
produced, or it can be the cause of cracked resin or corrosion of the barrel with
ABS.

5-7 NM011C05

5.4. Setting the temporary set value on each profile.


Before starting the molding operation, it is necessary to set the profiles on Mold & Ejector
page and Injection page of HICOM 300 controller.
Set each profiles as described on chapter 4 STATR-UP ADJUSTMENT.

5.5. Molding Operation

During molding operation, perform several tests using MANUAL operation, and than
switch to SEMI-AUTOMATIC operation or AUTOMATIC operation. In order to
mold products of excellent quality in an efficient manner, it is important to obtain an
optimum balance between the pressure, speed, time, temperature and other
parameters related to the operation of the injection molding machine. These
parameters can be gradually adjusted while the machine is operating in
SEMI-AUTOMATIC mode.

NOTE :
Before molding ABS or performing low-forming molding, be sure to contact our
company as these can cause corrosion of the screw or barrel.
A corrosion - proof screw and barrel are available as optional Equipment. Also,
when molding resins containing frictional materials such as fiberglass or asbestos,
which tend to cause wear, the screw or barrel may become worn.
Contact LS Mtron in this case.
A wear proof screw and barrel are available as optional Equipment.

5.5.1. MANUAL Operation

Use MANUAL mode according to the following procedures.

1) Ensure that water and cooling water are running through the oil cooler and the
bottom portion of the hopper respectively, and that each part is heated to the
proper temperature.

7) Depress the NOZZLE ADVANCE key until
the nozzle tip press against the spruce
bushing of the mold and then release the
key in such condition.

8) Set the injection holding timer :


Set the SCREW selector switch to screw retract position and set the injection
holding timer long enough to fill the mold with resin and perform the holding
operation.

9) When the SCREW ADVANCE key is


depressed, resin is injected into the cavity Inject
of the mold with the preset injection speed
VI1~VI4 and the preset injection pressures
(P1, PI2, PP).

10) When the screw advances to the shifting position from filling to holding (LS4)
in front of the screw advance limit, the injection pressure(PP) changes to
primary injection Pressure (PH1), secondary injection pressure (PH2), and
tertiary injection pressure (PH3), and injection speed (VI1~VI4) is changed to
the setting speed (VH) for holding

11) Depress the SCREW RETRACT key

14) The mold retracts at low speed initially for the release of the molded products.
When the position of mold reached (LS3A) and low speed changes to high
speed, the position approaches the proximity switch(LS3B), and the speed
changes to low speed. To shorten the cycle, it is important to set the stroke at
low speed to the minimum value without affecting the molded products or the
mold.

15) Keep depressing the EJECT ADVANCE


key to discharge products.
Open the safety gate and take out the
products which are adhering to the mold, Eject

5.5.2. OBTAIN Good Product


To obtain good product, the key point is to understand the filling conditions of resin
into the mold cavity. User can adjust the each profile on HICOM 300 controller by
observing the condition of the molded product. When the molded product has some
problem , refer to the following section 5.5.3 , then correct the set value which are
at issue.

As followed, it is important to know the relation between the resin filling process
and the screw stroke through several test shots.

1) PI1, PI2, PP(injection pressure)


Usually set it according to the type of the molded product. However, if there is
any issue with the mold, adjust it to the strength of the mold.

2) PH1, PH2, PH3(holing pressure)


At first, set PH1, PH2, and PH3 same value for example 30 %, then correct the
holding pressures and changeover time TRH1, TRH2 depending on the
condition of the molded product. If there are some problems with the molded
product, refer to the following section 5.5.3 Troubleshooting of the molded
product.

3) LS5(charging stroke)
Refer to the section 4.3.1 Adjustment of Injecion.

(W × 10)
LS5 = S + 5
S=
(A × ρ × η)

4) VS1, VS2(charging speed)


When starting charging, do at low speed and increase the speed gradually,
while observing the filling of material. Generally, the plasticizing capacity is
increased when the screw speed is higher: However, when the speed
exceeds a certain limit, the plasticizing capacity drops in inverse relation.
The most satisfactory condition must be found and set considering such
conditions as the type of molding material, the shape of the pellets, the
temperature, the back pressure and other factors.

5-12 NM011C05
Molding Operation LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

5) LS4, LS4C(holding changeover position)


To control the holding pressure accurately, decelerate injection speed to the
medium speed 20 ~50% on the position 5 ~15mm before the screw arrives at
LS4(holding changeover position). That is, set LS4C to the value added LS4 to
5 ~15mm.

6) VI1, VI2, VI3, VI4 LS4A, LS4B(injection speed)


VI4 is usually used for accurate control of the holding position

7) Correction of LS5( charging stroke)


Increase the charging stroke gradually while observing the condition of the
molded products to obtain the perfect stroke by performing test shot two or
three time.

8) Identify the stroke where molding problem is occurs.


When one molding shot is finished, the molded product may have some
problem. To solve the trouble, we should know the reason and the injection
stroke where the problem happens. The following example introduces the
method of identifying the stroke and solving some problems in a molded
product, that is sink marks and weld lines. If we can identity the position of the
screw where such problems occur, the set values of related parameters can be
changed properly.

5.7. OPTIMIZE Cycle Time


The important point is to make the injection molding process to a stable production
condition rather than to achieve all the quality criteria at once.

After achieving a stead-state process, optimisation of the molding partly with the
content of the trouble shooting of the molding on this manual can be carried out.
After the quality criteria of the molding have been met, cycle optimisation can be
began. The cycle time can be optimised by modification of the parameters
governing cycle time; e.g. by shortening the cooling time and the mold open time,
reducing the number of ejector strokes, shortening the ejector stroke, etc.

It must be remembered that only one parameter should be altered at a time so that
the steady-state is not interrupted and so that alterations in quality can be
obtained.

7.3.4. Heater Maintenance and Inspection

A band heater or aluminum cast heater is usually used to heat the injection cylinder
barrel. Most of our injection molding machines use band heater-nichrome wire is
placed between stainless sheets and insulated by mica. The heater should be
maintained and inspected as shown below.

1) The main cause of broken wires is often attributable to tightening failure. The
watt density of the heater is about 3 to 5W/㎠ . A less contraction area with the
barrel results in almost dry baking and eventually breaks wire. Additionally
tighten the heated heater at least once a month.

2) When additionally tightening the heater


above, check the screws at the heater
wiring area (including the screws for
the terminal box, contractors, etc.) for
looseness.

3) The mega of the heater is more than a


few megohms after being heated once.
A mega of less than 1MΩ will
adversely affect the human body due to
leakage current. Identify the cause of
the problem. If no cause is known, replace it.

4) When additionally tightening the heater, also check the inserted condition
of the thermocouple to see if it is secured.

1. Hydraulic and Lubricating Oil

1.1. Outline

Injection molding machines of LS Mtron Ltd. have been designed and manufactured applying
the latest techniques and innovations, based on many years of experience in the plastic
molding industry in order to provide the most powerful machines for customers. The
hydraulic equipment utilized with these injection molding machines has been specially
selected, and is extremely reliable high performance equipment. However, even though the y
are well designed, they cannot be operated within the full range of their excellent capacities
unless suitable hydraulic and lubricating oils are utilized.
These specifications, which have been prepared for customer reference, provide the methods
for selecting hydraulic and lubricating oils, the maintenance and control of oil and the LS Mtron
Ltd. concept of hydraulic and Lubrication oils utilization, based on many years of experience.

1.2. Hydraulic Oil

1) When selecting hydraulic oil, the most important consideration is to select oil which is
suitable.

2) For the hydraulic pump, which is considered to be the most vital part of the hydraulic
system, comparable to the heart in the human body. Any oil which is suitable for the
hydraulic pump is also suitable for the hydraulic cylinders, which can be considered to be
the hands and feet of the hydraulic system, and for the hydraulic piping valves and other
valves and other components, which can be considered to be the nervous system and
internal organs of the hydraulic system.
The three basic oil properties, that is viscosity, viscosity index and pour point of the
hydraulic oil, must match the hydraulic equipment to be utilized and the operation
conditions of the equipment in order to make the oil suitable for utilization. Then it is
necessary to give consideration to the qualities (such as oxidation stability, rust resistant
characteristics, wear-resistant characteristics and others) of the hydraulic oil. However,
the pour point makes trouble only in very cold weather.
Therefore, in these specifications, only the viscosity and the viscosity index are
considered to be important properties.

Annex-3 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

3) When selecting hydraulic oil, a point which often makes trouble is the temperature of the
oil when it is being utilized. The hydraulic oil must be utilized at the temperatures
indicated below. When hydraulic oil is utilized at a temperature which significantly
deviates from the values given below, it will not only become deteriorated, but also
damage the hydraulic equipment quickly. Therefore be sure to utilize hydraulic oil only at
the specified temperature.

Temperature of the oil Suitable : 40。C ± 50。C


Maximum : 55。C
Inside the tank
Minimum : 15。C

Operation under a loaded condition must be performed after the temperature of the oil
has risen to15℃. Operation at a temperature under 15℃ could cause trouble with
defective suction of the hydraulic pump, which could result in seizure. Therefore, the
equipment must be started under a no-load condition, and special care must be exercised
regarding suction.

4) The use of water giycolic fire-retarding hydraulic oil largely affects the life of the machine.
Before using such oil, be sure to consult the source of your purchase. The use of water-
soluble oil is not recommended at present and such oils should not be used.

Annex-4 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

1.3. Recommended Hydraulic Oil

With respect to the injection molding machines manufactured by LS Mtron Ltd. the oil shown
under Lubricating oil type is recommended based on consideration of the operation conditions,
properties and qualities of hydraulic oil. It must be ensured that one of the recommended
types of oil is utilized.

1.4. Selection of Recommended Oil

As stated above, the hydraulic equipment referred to in these specifications is operated under
rather severe conditions. Particularly, since the hydraulic pump which is the heart of the
hydraulic system is operated under very severe conditions, ANTI-WEAR type oil is recommended
for purposes of protecting the pump. The recommended brands of hydraulic oil are those which
possess a long history of positive achievements. At the same time, these recommended brands of
oil have exhibited favorable performance.

Annex-5 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

1.5. Maintenance and Control of the Hydraulic System

Even though suitable hydraulic oil is utilized, not only the the life of the hydraulic oil but also
the life of the hydraulic system can be considerably shortened if the daily maintenance of the
hydraulic systems are caused by dirty or deteriorated hydraulic oil, or by damaged oil supply.

1.5.1. Oil Supply

(1) Hydraulic oil must be supplied through the provided oil supply port removing the cap.
However, do not down any removed cap carelessly on the floor. Make sure that soil, sand,
lint or other foreign matter does not adhere to the inner surface of any removed cap.

(2) The inside diameter of oil supply port is approximately 70mm and a 2 ½" inch pipe for oil
supply pump can be easily inserted. The oil supply port is provided with a 60 mesh filter.
Supply oil by utilizing the oil supply pump with caution to prevent overflow due to clogging..

(3) When supplying a large machine with oil for the first time without utilizing the oil supply
port, ensure that a 60 mesh filter or a filter with a larger size is utilized. Be sure that all
tools are kept clean at all times. Utilization of a flushing unit to supply oil is
recommended.

(4) When supplying a new machine with oil or replenishing a machine with oil, it is
recommended that a reputable oil company be contracted to perform such work.
Reputable oil companies can be depended upon to supply oil properly to an injection
molding machine, taking user's convenience into their consideration.

서식 있음: 글머리 기호 및
(5) The problems described below occur when supplying an injection molding machine with 번호 매기기
oil.

① A machine which had been operated without any problems for approximately one year
was supplied with new oil. In less than ten days, the suction resistance of the pump
increased. Pump operation become noisy and soon defective because of the problem
was adhesion of small pieces of cork-like substance, lint and tar-like substance in a

Annex-6 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

large quantity collected at the suction strainer. The cause of the problem was traced
and it was found that oil supply had been performed by tilting a drum containing new oil
on the clogged filter, stopping the flow of oil to large degree. Then the person who had
supplied the oil had removed the filter and the remaining oil had been supplied without
a filter. When the oil drum was tilted further, dust, pieces of wood, pieces of cloth and
other foreign matter fell into the oil tank. The price of such thoughtless operation was
replacement of the pump, a flushing operation and another oil change.

② In another case, the condition of utilized hydraulic oil was found to be abnormal.
Investigation showed that some water from the oil cooler had been detected. The
cause was found to be the outdoor oil storage location. In this storage location, oil
drums containing oil were stored in an upright position and rain water infiltrated into the
oil drums. When oil drums are to be stored outdoors, as a general rule, they should be
stored on their sides. Before supplying oil from any oil drum to the oil tank of an
injection molding machine, ensure that the plug is firmly tightened. Also ensure that
the oil drums are stored properly when the oil supply operation has been completed.

Annex-7 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

1.5.2. Periodic Testing of Oil Properties

If the dirtiness and deterioration of hydraulic oil progresses, the life of the injection molding
machine will be shortened and trouble will occur. Periodic testing must be performed in order
to detect any change in oil properties. Strictly speaking, any test of the properties of oil
should be an analytical test which is performed by a reputable oil company. The test can be
done by user to some extent with performing an appearance test or the dropping test. An oil
sample should be removed directly from the tank while the oil is sufficiently stirred immediately
after the injection molding machine has been stopped.

(1) Tests which can be performed by the User

a. Appearance Test
Pour some fresh oil and some used oil into separate test tubes, and compare the two
samples. Appraise the condition of the oil according to oil color, transparency, the
existence of minute floating substances, accumulation of water at the bottom of the test
tube, and other fin an upright position, and rain water had filtered into the other factors.

b. Dropping Test
A comparison test is also suitable in this case. Drop some used oil onto a piece of
filter paper (commonly utilized blotting paper is suitable) Observe the filter paper after
2~3 hours. If the oil is deteriorated or dirty, stains will be clearly visible. However, it is
difficult to determine whether or not oil must be changed, but experience will bring a
general pattern regarding oil change period.

(2) Qualitative and Quantitative an Oil Dealer


When an abnormality is detected as a result of the appearance test or the dropping test, it
is then necessary that testing be performed at the laboratories of a reputable oil dealer.
Any experienced technician of an oil dealer will know to change the oil immediately or
whether or not the oil must be given more extensive testing.

서식 있음: 글머리 기호 및
(3) Frequency of Periodic Testing 번호 매기기
The appearance test or the dropping test should be performed at least once per month,
on a predetermined data. The qualitative and quantitative analyses performed by an oil
dealer should be done once a month for the first three months after machine operation,

Annex-8 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

and then every three succeeding months there after.

(4) Limit of Hydraulic Oil Utilization


The oil dealer will judge if the deteriorated oil should be changed according to the results
of the qualitative and quantitative analyses. Consideration given by LS Mtron Ltd.
regarding deterioration are described below. Regarding quantitative judging methods to
determine the deterioration of hydraulic oil, the " Test for Insoluble Contamination in
Hydraulic Fluid by Gravimetric Analysis", ASTM-D-893, and the " Procedure for the
Determination of Particulate Contamination of Hydraulic Fluids by the Particle Count
Method" ARP-598, can be mentioned. In the hydraulic system described in these
specifications,oil deterioration must be controlled within the following limitations. Oil
control for 3months after delivery of the injection molding machine is especially
important. It is not an overstatement to say that oil control during this period determins
the life of the hydraulic equipment.

Measuring Method Weight mothod Counting method


weight in 100ml

Allowable oil deterioration 7 mg NAS Grade 11

NOTE :
Particles which can be measured with the counting method are over 5㎛in size. Additionally,
the reproducibility of measured values is not good. Therefore, the counting method should
be utilized only for reference purpose.

Annex-9 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

1.5.3. Flushing

(1) Purpose and Operation


The removal of chips, dirt, sand and other foreign matter which can enter the oil tank, piping
and other components during manufacture, assembly, transportation and installation of a
injection molding machine is the primary purpose of flushing operation. The secondary
purpose of flushing operation is to clean the hydraulic system after the injection molding
machine has been in operation for a fixed period of time. If the flushing is to be performed at
the factory of the injection molding machine user, it is recommended that flushing be done
under the guidance of a service technician from an oil dealer, utilizing a flushing unit.
Today most oil dealers have gained considerable experience regarding flushing techniques
and such oil dealers usually have flushing units, called flushing cars, available to serve their
customers. A portable oil cleaner is commercially available at LS Mtron Ltd.
This device can be utilized as a bypass filter unit to maintain cleanliness of or to fill and supply
oil. The oil cleaner will not only reduce difficulties and malfunction caused by deteriorated oil,
but will also serve to prolong the life of the hydraulic equipment. This will prolong the life of
the oil which is an important and limited energy source.

(2) Flushing performed at LS Mtron Ltd.


Whenever the hydraulic system is completed at LS Mtron Ltd., it is provided with a flushing
operation without fail, utilizing a flushing unit. Before assembly, the piping of the hydraulic
system is provided with a pickling process to remove bending send, dust, welding chips and
other matter. At the same time, the hydraulic system is provided with a thorough cleaning.
After that process another flushing process is performed at the factory after assembly. The
hydraulic oil itself is utilized as a flushing oil, and flushing is performed while the injection
molding machine is operated at low pressure.

(3) Flushing at the Time of Oil Change 번호 매기기
After a particular type of hydraulic oil has been utilized for a period of time, fine metal powder
produced by the sliding sections of the hydraulic pump and other hydraulic equipment, sludge
due to oil deterioration, scales and other foreign matter will appear in the oil, even when the oil
is of the highest quality and grade. Consequently, an oil change will become necessary.
As stated above, the lifetime of any hydraulic oil is considered to be 2~3years even under
optimum utilization conditions, and when deterioration begins, such deterioration progresses
rapidly. Within a very short period of time, the condition of the oil will be such that it can no
longer be utilized,
In such a case, it is recommended that not only a flushing operation be performed, but also

Annex-10 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

that the oil be changed with fresh oil. First completely drain the used oil. Thoroughly wipe off
the interior of the tank with a sponge to remove all used oil. Fill the tank with a flushing oil of
the same viscosity as that of the utilized hydraulic oil. Operate the machine at low speed and
perform the flushing operation with a flushing unit. A flushing operation for 4 ~8 hours will
remove most of metal powder, sludge, chips and other foreign matter. When the flushing
operation has been completed, perform oil removal securely so that a minimum quantity of oil
is to remain in the hydraulic system, and wipe off any oil which may be adhering to the interior
of the tank.

(4) Flushing
When water, chemicals, or other substances mix with the oil, when the oil becomes
exceedingly dirty, or when it is necessary to utilize flushing oil and the flushing method
selected as a result of consultation among the user, a reputable oil dealer and a service
technician from LS Mtron Ltd. Is available.

(5) Miscellaneous
As a result of extensive experience, it has been found that hydraulic oil is made unfit for
utilization as a result of the mixing of impurities or water, especially impurities, to a far greater
extent than oil deterioration. The mixing of impurities and water is due to the following
reasons:

a. Metal powder produced by the sliding sections of the pump and other hydraulic equipment.
b. Water, dust and other foreign matter mixing with the oil at the time the tank is filled with oil.
c. Dust in the atmosphere which mixes with the oil.
d. Moisture in the atmosphere which mixes with the oil.

To prevent the forementioned contamination of oil by various impurities, LS Mtron Ltd. has
utilized micronic filters in the hydraulic circuits of medium and large size machines which use a
large amount of oil, which has succeeded in prolonging the life of both the hydraulic
equipment and the hydraulic oil. However, these filters can display their true value only if they
are checked periodically, and if filter elements are replaced at optimum periods. Monthly
appearance and dropping tests of hydraulic oil and the checking of filters must be securely
performed under any circumstance.

1.5.4. Oil Change Time

Annex-11 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

The time for oil change can be determined by performing the forementioned testing.
However, when oil temperature is suitably maintained and oil replenishment is carefully
performed, the frequency of oil change can be set as shown below.
(The following does not apply if oil is accepted at periodic quality test.)

First Change :
Change the oil approximately 2,000 hours after initial machine start-up.

Second Change :
Change the oil approximately every 9,000 hours after the first oil change has been performed.

1.5.5. Remarks Concerning Maintenance and Control

(1) Ensure that suitable oil has been selected.

(2) Test the quality of the hydraulic oil periodicallyl.

(3) Ensure that the oil temperature is maintained at the proper level (maintaining the water
flow of the oil cooler and the water temperature of the oil cooler at suitable levels). The
oil temperature should be maintained at 40℃ ± 5℃.

(4) Perform oil change and the flushing operations of the hydraulic system in the proper
manner.

Annex-12 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

1.6. Selection of Lubricating Oil

Lubricating oil can be roughly classified into two categories; lubricating oil for bearings and oil
for slide ways. When selecting oil for the slide ways, it is absolutely necessary to thoroughly
consider the types of bearing sections, speed, load, ambient temperature and other factors.
However, if selection is made based on strictly setting the utilization positions and utilization
conditions, many types of lubricating oil must be selected, causing many difficulties regarding
maintenance and control. Additionally, since hydraulic oil works as high quality lubricating oil if
utilization conditions are proper, hydraulic oil must also be taken into consideration, and the
many types of lubricating oil must be reduced to a minimum for the entire injection molding
machine. This point is very important and should be remembered. The recommended
hydraulic oils and lubricating oils have been selected after giving complete consideration to
the points mentioned above. Additionally, when selecting lubricating oil, it is recommended
that selection be made from among the products of the same oil company which supplies
hydraulic oil.

1.7. Maintenance and Control of the Lubricating System

1.7.1. Maintenance and Control

Unlike hydraulic oil, lubricating oil is purchased in definite quantities at one time, and is kept in
storage. For this reason, extreme caution must be exercised regarding the storage and control
of lubricating oil.

(1) Be sure to store oil cans on a wooden floor.

(2) Be sure to close the caps tightly, and whenever possible, cover the can with sheets.

(3) Do not expose the oil cans to direct sunlight. Additionally, maintain the storage space
temperature below 40℃.

Annex-13 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

1.7.2. Lubrication Maintenance

(1) The grease in bearings and on slide ways will deteriorate rapidly due to moisture and dust
in the atmosphere, and the grease will not perform the lubricating function after a certain
length of time. Be sure to grease each "grease point" periodically according to
predefined. If the grease at any point grows black or becomes excessively dirty, it may
be necessary to remove it with Kerosene.

(2) Pay attention to the periodic change of the thrust bearing section of the injection molding
machine. Since the thrust bearing operates under a heavy load, it must be supplied
constantly with a sufficient amount of lubricating oil. No impurities can be permitted.
Initially, change the oil 3000 hours after the commencement of injection molding
machine operation. Additionally, ensure that the oil has been completely drained before
filling the gear box or the bearing with fresh oil. Mere oil replenishment will not be
sufficient.

1.8. Properties and Qualities of Hydraulic Oil

Hydraulic oil must possess three excellent basic properties and high quality. These basic
properties are viscosity, viscosity index and pour point. Quality includes oxidation stability,
and rust-resistant and wear-resistant characteristics For reference, a brief explanation of
each is given below.

1.8.1. Viscosity

The viscosity of hydraulic oil should be kept as low as possible, as long as the oil doesn’t lose
lts lubricity for pumps and valves. Lubricity is the formation and maintenance of an oil film
between two sliding surfaces and it has a close relationship to viscosity. For this reason,
most hydraulic equipment manufacturers designate a proper viscosity regarding hydraulic oil
for each of their products. Generally speaking, the viscosity of hydraulic oil is expressed by
kinetic viscosity (normally expressed in centi-strokes ). For hydraulic systems, hydraulic oil
with a viscosity of 25~150 centi - strokes at 37.8℃(100℉) is often utilized. ( As
a reference, the viscosity of water at 20℃ is approximately one [1]contistroke.) If

Annex-14 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

the viscosity of and hydraulic oil is too high, poor pump suction will occur, and additionally, the
operation of each piece of hydraulic equipment will loose smoothness. Also, undesirable
conditions such as pressure loss and increase in power consumption will occur. On the other
hand, if viscosity is too low, the efficiency of the pump will be reduced: the wear of moving
parts will be accelerated and the accuracy of hydraulic operation will decrease.

1.8.2. Viscosity Index

As stated above, it is desirable that the viscosity of hydraulic oil be as low as possible, as long
as lubricity is not lost. However, the viscosity of oil will decrease when the oil temperature
rises and it will increase when the oil temperature drops. The hydraulic unit is operated at a
temperature of 5℃~55℃. Additionally, at a limited time and position, the temperature may
drop to0℃, and it may rise as high as 90℃. The hydraulic oil must not lose the required
lubricity within the temperature range stated above. Oil which possesses a minimum
viscosity variation with the variation of temperature is said to be oil with a high viscosity index.
Any hydraulic oil is required to possess a high viscosity index, and generally speaking, oil
which possesses a high viscosity index (higher than 95) is utilized as hydraulic oil.

1.8.3. Oxidation Stability

The life of oil is greatly influenced by the stability of the oil against oxidation. The sludge
formed when oil is oxidized will hinder the performance of the equipment in the hydraulic
system. The valves will operate abnormally and pumps and other components will often
become damaged. Additionally, the oxidation will progress rapidly when it reaches a certain
point during oil utilization. The period will differ depending upon the utilization conditions, but
some cases indicate that the period is considered to be between 15,000 and 25,000 hours.
Oxidation stability is ensured by proper selection of the base oil, the refining process and
proper inhibitors. The speed of reaction during oxidation increase if the oil temperature is
above 60℃. Therefore the oil temperature in the tank must be maintained below 60℃.

1.8.4. Rust - Resistant Characteristics


The hydraulic tank is equipped with an air breather or an oil port. Outside air enters the tank,
and it is difficult to keep moisture out of the tank. The interiors of the hydraulic oil tanks

Annex-15 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0

manufactured by LS Mtron Ltd. are rust-proofed by application of a special paint. However,


when the moisture in the atmosphere mixes with the oil in the tank rust will develop in the
pipes and the equipment after a period of time. Scales of rust from the rusty parts will
damage the sliding surfaces of pumps, valves and other components. Additionally, rams,
piston, packing and similar machine components will become damaged and useless. For
these reasons, a highly efficient rust inhibitor must be added to each hydraulic oil.

1.8.5. Wear - Resistant Characteristic

The latest hydraulic equipment is manufactured to be compact and highly efficient, and the
vane pump, gear pump and other components can be operated under very severe conditions.
The hydraulic oil manufactured today is required to maintain lubricity even during boundary
lubrication at high temperatures and under high pressures. Hydraulic oil containing wear
preventive agents which have been recently developed is considered to be excellent regarding
the points mentioned above. The type of hydraulic oil is recommended for hydraulic systems
which operate at pressures higher than 140kg/㎠.

1.8.6. Miscellaneous

Explanations offered above regarding the properties and qualities of hydraulic oil are very
important. For additional details, please refer to the instruction published by the various
companies dealing with hydraulic oils.

2.1. Outline

Since the screw of the injection molding machine is driven by a hydraulic motor, prevention of
damage to the screw due to excessive torque is performed by means of the set pressure for
the hydraulic motor. However, if the screw is rotated under the condition where the resin in the
screw barrel has not been melted, the screw tip will receive excessive torque. So this function
is used to prevent damage on the screw tip with Screw Operating Delay Time which can be
set to enough time for melting the resin sufficiently.

2.2. Movement

OFF : In off mode, any operation of screw will be prevented if the actual temperature of band
heater(H1) is 20℃ lower than the set temperature of band heater(H1), and if not,
operation of screw will be possible.

ON : In on mode, even if the actual temperature of band heater(H1) is not 20℃ lower than the
set temperature of band heater(H1), any operation of screw is prevented, and the
operation is possible after expiring of Screw Operation Delay Time which is preset.
(The Screw Operation Delay Timer starts when actual temperature and set temperature
of band heater(H1) are same condition.)

1. Mold Closing

Generally the mold closing starts with low(or high) velocity at first and changes into
high(or low) velocity, then it finally closes with low velocity-pressure to touch the mold.

„ Mold-closing of 1st velocity(VC1) : It represents the velocity between mold-open


limit(LS3) and transfer position of 2nd velocity(LS2B). ( low or high velocity range )

„ Mold-closing of 2nd velocity(VC2) : It represents the velocity between 2nd velocity


position (LS2B) and mold protection position(LS2A). (high or low velocity range )

„ Mold protection range with low pressure : It represents A range from mold protection
position to mold closing(touch) limit(LS2).

This range is to protect the mold with low velocity-pressure.


EX ) Mold protection position(LS2A) = products thickness + over 20 mm

16 NMH04V02
Hicom 300 Controller Instruction LSM-MNL-H04/Ver. 2.0

2. Mold Opening

Mold Opening starts to open with low pressure and changes into high velocity and
finally begins to stop with low velocity.

„ Mold opening of 1st velocity(VO1) :


It shows the velocity from the mold closing limit(LS2) to the transfer position of 2nd
velocity(LS3A). (low speed range)

„ Mold opening of 2nd velocity(VO2) :


It shows the velocity from the transfer position of 2nd velocity(LS3A) to the 3rd velocity
transfer position(LS3B). (high velocity range )

„ Mold opening of 3rd velocity(VO3) :


It shows the velocity from the transfer position of 3rd velocity(LS3B) to the mold open
limit(LS3). ( low velocity-pressure range )

Please set the each value according to the mold.


∴ The mold opening- closing speed is controlled by T2 (electromagnetic proportional
valve ).

3. Position

The position of mold opening- closing is controlled by the set value in the display
screen.
The sense detection for each position is controlled by the incremental encoder.

4. Pressure

Pressure of mold opening-closing : High clamping pressure or low clamping pressure


is controlled by Relief Valves mounted on the hydraulic manifold.

„ R1 : High clamping pressure


„ R3 : Low clamping pressure
Set the pressure with watching ‘G1’ Gauge.
This pressure is little bit different according to the Clamp Tonnage

17 NMH04V02
Hicom 300 Controller Instruction LSM-MNL-H04/Ver. 2.0

„ When it is high velocity range or high pressure clamping, R2 (electromagnetic


proportional valve )is fully loaded.

5. Timer

„ Mold Protection timer(TR6) :


This detects abnormal material between the moving mold and the fixing die mold and its
setting time range is 0 ~ 99.9 second.
If timer works at mold protection position and the mold closing is not completed during the
setting time, the alarm of low clamping pressure starts and the mold begins to open.( The
function of repetitive mold opening is possible in selective display monitor. )

„ Cycle over timer(TR20) :


It shows the time of a normal cycle under auto or semi-automatic operation. If a molding
cycle is prolonged longer than the time of set value, an alarm buzzer is emitted and the
cycle of machine is stopped. (Select the alarm in specification display screen )

„ Interval timer(TR4) :
In auto-operation, this is opening time of mold to count from the mold opening limit, and
the mold restarts with ‘time out’ of interval time.

6. Selection

„ Quick Mold Opening : ON / OFF


ON : When mold opening, the mold opening speed increases with hydraulic differential.
It is not applied to the IDE 25 - 75 Model.

„ Clamp pump unload timer(TR17) :


ON /OFF, At 00.0 second after injection completion
ON : When it need to save electricity by the transference of clamping pressure from
‘LOAD’ to ‘UNLOAD’, this circuit is used as follows.

After injection out , if cooling in cavity is progressed and as it is unnecessary to hold


maximum clamping pressure, the clamp holding pressure is switched to low pressure
when this unloading timer is ‘time out’, also this timer starts at the same time with cooling
timer.

„ Ejector Advance Holding Timer(TREH) :


Ejector is continuously kept from Ejector advance limit( LS31 ). During this time, Advance
pressure and 2nd speed are kept.

Notice) ① In case of Ejector Holding, please adjust Eject Advance stopper simultaneously.
② If the Ejector pin of mold should be retracted compulsorily with spring etc., its ejector
holding time must be appropriately adjusted.
③ This is possible at auto, semi-auto running and only the first time is worked in case of
more than twice count.

8. Ejector Retract

„ Ejector Retract Pressure(PER) :


Shows the pressure from the ejector advance limit ( LS31 ) to the ejector retract limit
( LS32 ).

„ Ejector Retract of 1st speed(VE3) :

1. Injection

Screw rapidly advances and inserts melting material into the mold.
„ Injection 1st speed ~ 4th speed : This shows the speed during filling period.
„ Holding pressure speed : This shows the speed during holding pressure period.
„ Speed of injection is controlled by T2 ( electromagnetic proportional valve ).

Notice )
Holding pressure period is controlled by pressure and screw always doesn’t advance with
setting speed.

Injection pressure means a pressure that press melting material at screw line.
„ Injection 1st pressure ~ 3rd pressure : a pressure during the charging cycle.
„ Holding 1st pressure ~ 3rd pressure : this controls the pressure in cavity and decides the
size of plastic products.
„ The pressure at this time is controlled by R2 ( electromagnetic proportional valve ).

23 NMH04V02
Hicom 300 Controller Instruction LSM-MNL-H04/Ver. 2.0

2. Cut _ Over
There are following 4 ways to change from filling to holding process, that is, cut_over.

„ Position(LS4) :
When screw advances to the changeover position(LS4), the pressure of screw is
changed from filling to holding. ( Standard )

„ Timer :
When it is a holding pressure transfer timer, it is transferred with time out.

„ Velocity :
The process changed from filling to holding at the moment when the velocity reaches the
set value.

„ Pressure :
The process changed from filling to holding at the moment when the pressure reaches
the set value.. ( Option )

„ ∴ If all of 4 ways is selected, cut_over operation is performed according to the


condition which is satisfied at first , and the others is neglected.
* If not selected any condition, basically changed with position.

3. Suck Back
This obstructs material dripping during charging period when using the open nozzle.

„ 1st suck back(VSB1) :


As it obstructs material dripping before charging and separates material from products, it
prevents the property of material varying.

„ 2nd suck back(VSB2) :


With compulsory screw returning, this decreases the pressure of melting material and
prevents material dripping from the open nozzle.

4. Charge
After Injection completion, raw material is plasticizing by screw rotation.

„ 1st charging speed ~ 2nd speed :


Shows the during charging cycle.

„ Screw rotation (RPM ) :


Shows actual rotational speed of screw during the charging.

5. Back Pressure
This is used to increase blending effect of material with back pressure during the charging.( If
back pressure is low, charging time is reduced because back resistance of screw is low. )
# Note ) Over 450ton, it is controlled by setting valve because it uses R12 (electromagnetic

24 NMH04V02
Hicom 300 Controller Instruction LSM-MNL-H04/Ver. 2.0

proportional valve. )
„ 25 ~ 350 ton, 550 ton are controlled by manual pressure valve ( Relief valve ) which is
equipped to Manifold.

6. Nozzle Retract Time( Sprue Break )


Nozzle Retracting time is selected as follows :

“O“ : Continuous contact : Because Nozzle is continuously contacted with mold.


“A” : Cooling time out : After cooling time is out, Nozzle retracts.
“B” : Charging out : After charging is out, Nozzle retracts.
“C” : Injection out : After Injection is completed, Nozzle retracts.

When Nozzle retracting, this works after time out of retract delay until limit switch ‘LS6’ of
nozzle retract is made.

After high pressure clamping in the next cycle, nozzle cylinder advances until limit switch
‘LS7’ of nozzle advance is made(touched), then operation of injection begins to start.

7. Shut Off Nozzle ( Option )


The valve of shut off nozzle makes the orifice of open nozzle blocking after the completion of
injection operation until the completion of charging operation, so this prevent material dripping
completion, resin doesn’t drip.

8. Intrusion
Intrusion is optional equipment when the products weight is larger than maximum Injection
capacity of machine.

Thus screw rotates with additional charging during the intrusion time, melting material flows
into the mold, and it makes a partial of products before injection movement.
However, this circuit is impossible to produce the precise products.

Flow Chart

Mold Open → Ejection → Mold Close
Select charging switch at manual operation.
( Screw must be placed at suck back position. )

25 NMH04V02
Hicom 300 Controller Instruction LSM-MNL-H04/Ver. 2.0

9. Timer

„ Injection Timer(TR1) :
This is the setting time between injection filling and holding period.
„ Cooling Timer(TR3) :
This is the cooling time of products and works after injection is completed.
„ Charge Dly Time:
This is delayed time after Injection completion before charging starting.
Please change set value if condition is needed.( Standard time is 000.0)

10. Alarm

„ Injection filling time :


This is the transfer time from injection filling to holding period.
When it is over, alarm starts and machine is stopped after cycle.

„ Charging time :
This is the movement time from charging start to charging completion.
In case it takes longer than normal time of charging, it is possible there is shortage of
resin, screw or hopper problem, etc., and charging time over alarm emits and buzzer
sirens.

When it happen, machine compulsorily makes suck-back after skipping of charging process,
and machine is stopped after cycle.

„ Cushion alarm :
It is decided the malfunction injection process by the monitoring of screw position at the
point of injection completion.

Cushion High Alarm: If the position of screw is larger than allowable range of cushion
after injection completion, cushion high alarm emits.

Cushion Low Alarm: If the position of screw is less than allowable range of cushion after
injection completion, cushion low alarm emits.

This shows the actual temperature in each temperature zones.

„ Setting value :
This shows the setting temperature in the band heater zones.

„ Preheating value :
To begin with, select the preheating to ‘ON’ and set the temperatures of preheating.
① Because this works preheating temperatures at power on, this prevents over heating.
② Since it is possible to keep constant temperature with Heating Off at resting hour,
the over heating of resin doesn’t happen.

If preheating selection is off, temperature is controlled by the setting valve .

„ Status:
It indicates the status of heating whether heater contactor is activated or not by the
displaying of rectangular cursor.

„ Temperature Alarm :
If temperature is over heated than allowed temperature range by the exothermic heat, this
