1. When you inject oil (hydraulic, lubricant, grease, etc.) before using the injection-molding
machine, use oil recommended by the company.Using inappropriate oil may result in
shorter machine life and reduced performance. It also could cause oil waste and
result in early part replacements.
2. After changing oil, do not discard oil at any place for it may result in water and soil
pollution.
Oil injection and change should be serviced by authorized sellers with oil feeders.
4. The expired machines should be disposed by a specialist and should not be left without
direction.
Disposed machines leak rust water and oil that cause environmental pollution.

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) 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.
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

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.

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

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.

1) Clean the mold mounting surface of the mold platen with a rag. When the
machine is not to be used for an extended period of time, apply rust
preventatives to the inner surface of the mold.
CAUTION :
Any resin remaining in the barrel will decompose due to the remaining heat in the
barrel, and will require extra heat-up time during the next molding process.
Otherwise, resin will remain unmerited even though the barrel reaches the preset
temperature, so this resin may cause unexpected problems, such as damage to the
screw tip.

1) Storage
When the motor is to be stored or stopped for and extended period of time
(6months min., and 3 months min. in a high temperature and humidity area as a
standard) note the following points.
(1) Where the humidity is high or there is the possibility of infiltration of water by
foreign material , cover the entire motor with a polyethylene sheet and seal
up with descanting agent in it. The descanting agent should be replaced from
time to time.
(2) Measure the insulation resistance with a 500V mugger every three months to
check that it is a minimum of 1M ohms.
(3) To prevent the bearing from rusting, race the motor about five minutes every
three months.
(4) Before using the motor, measure the insulation resistance and check the
bearing and the connection with the power supply to check that there are
no abnormal conditions.
2) Operation
(1) After installation and wiring, once again check the wiring and ground.
(2) After inspection, turn on the switch to operate the motor. Should the motor
fail to operate normally, refer to Table 1, "Motor Problem and Its Remedy."
(3) If a power failure occurs during operation, be sure to turn off the power
switch, or there is a danger of causing contingency due to the motor
operated without knowing when power is restored.

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

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) 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.
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
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.
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
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) 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.

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
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.
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.
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
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
서식 있음: 글머리 기호 및
(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.
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.
(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
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.
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.
(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) 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.
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.
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.
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℃.

Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0
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.
Annex-16 NM011ANX
Annex LSM-MNL-011/Ver. 1.0
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. 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 )
3. Suck Back
This obstructs material dripping during charging period when using the open nozzle.
4. Charge
After Injection completion, raw material is plasticizing by screw rotation.
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
