1) Basic Structure of Cylinder The role of cylinder is very important in valve gate system.

Cylinder is installed on clamping plate and is operated by signal from injection machine.

Cylinder opens and closes gate by moving valve pin forward and back, which is fixed on piston.

The cylinder provided by YUDO is basically for use of air pressure, and a minimum of 6bar is necessary.

When it should be needed to use oil pressure, make decision after consulting with YUDO, then maximum oil pressure, must not exceed 30bar

2. Outline of Hot Runner System

Hot runner system is a method devised to produce product continuously without spure and runner by heating sprue and runner which serve as a route of melted resin in order to fill cavity in plastic injection mold and by maintaining it as melted state.

Advantage and Disadvantage of Hot Runner System

Advantage

1) Because product must be produced using 100% of new resin without any loss at all the time, defect or trouble due to foreign material can be prevented.

2) Filling up cavity is needed only, because resin is always being melted up to gate, thus the time of injection, measurement, cooling and frame opening/closing is shortened as well as the time to take out sprue and runner.

3) Improvement of product quality Because the injection pressure of injection molder is directly transferred to cavity, the problem of product shrinkage, weld, and deformation due to internal stress can be solved.

4) Increase of mechanical efficiency Efficiency of molder is enhanced because injection quantity, pressure, mold opening distance may be decreased as much as the amount of sprue and runner.

5) Extension of mold life The pressure exerted on the mold is decreased due to decrease of injection pressure and 3-stage mold of large type may be converted into 2-stage mold in case of using hot runner system, so that the trouble which can occur in 3-stage mold may be prevented.

Disadvantage

1) Increase of mold cost : Hot runner components and controller are necessary.

2) Technical manpower is necessary for maintenance and repair.

3) Sufficient review is necessary for mold design depending on shape of resin and product used.

11

3. Kinds of Hot Runner System 1) OPEN GATE

a. Direct Gate : This is the most basic system where flow route is equipped with heater. (There are BALA series in YUDO.)

b. Pin Point Type Gate : Gate mark may be minimized, but a little more pressure is required.

Type Basic Shape Product Shape of Gate Part Nozzle Type Direct Gate

BALA TOE, TOL System

Pin Point Type Gate

BALA CC, CA, CF System

SHUT – OFF GATE

a. Spring Type Valve Gate : This is the most simple valve gate system, but much injection pressure is required, so that gate mark is unstable.(There are no related products in YUDO)

b. Electrical Shut–off Gate : This may be mainly used for small products, but special temperature control device is required, and high technology is required for management of function.(LOVO Series Nozzles of YUDO)

2)Valve Gate Hydraulic Valve Gate

Advantage Disadvantage a. High pressure can be obtained by using relatively small cylinder. b. The life of “0” ring used is long relatively.

a. Hydraulic unit is required. b. Because oil is used, there is much possibility of oil leakage and surrounding is not clean when oiling. c. Operation and management is difficult. d. There are many elements of troubles due to carbonization of oil. e. Response speed is slow relatively.

Pneumatic Valve Gate

Advantage Disadvantage a. Structure is simple. b. Response speed is relatively fast. c. Operation and management are easy. d. Equipment investment cost is relatively small. e. Because air is used, damaging of “0” ring does not

cause contamination of surrounding.

a. Relatively large cylinder is required. b. The life of “0” ring is shorter than hydraulic type.

3) Comparison of features between hydraulic and pneumatic type in valve gate For Valve system of YUDO, pneumatic system is used as standard, hydraulic system as special option. If you want to use hydraulic system, you should consult YUDO in advance in order to regulate system changes. The problem occurring due to misuse of hydraulic system on valve system will not covered under quality guarantee of YUDO. Even in case of using hydraulic system, YUDO standard is designed to apply 30 bar or less pressure, and is designed to be operated smoothly under maximum 30 bar or less pressure. But also, the problem caused by less than specified pressure is out of quality guarantee scope. Major specification difference between pneumatic type and hydraulic type is as follows:

① The gap in “0” ring part which is installed on piston, cylinder, etc. is different.

Drawing In case of hydraulic system

In case of pneumatic system

A minimum of 0.08 and a maximum of 0.13 are used for gap between piston and housing of YUDO cylinder.

A minimum of 0.39 and a maximum of 0.46 are used for gap between piston and housing of YUDO cylinder.

② Compression quantity of “0” ring installed on piston, cylinder, etc. is different.

Drawing In case of hydraulic system

In case of pneumatic system

A minimum of 0.65 and a maximum of 0.72 are used for compression quantity of “O” ring used in YUDO cylinder.

A minimum of 0.37 and a maximum of 0.44 are used for compression quantity of “O” ring used in YUDO cylinder.

Maximum allowable pressure of YUDO hydraulic valve : 30 bar

13

③ The length of valve pin is different. In case of hydraulic valve, the length of valve pin should coincide with the normal dimension of mold. but The dimension of pneumatic valve is 1mm longer than normal dimension. There is allowance space where piston could advance 1mm more. Therefore, applying hydraulic system on YUDO system without adjusting valve pin causes damage on piston cover of gate or causes bending phenomenon of valve pin.

In case of hydraulic system In case of pneumatic system

The length of hydraulic valve pin should be adjusted to normal dimension. Allowance may cause damage of gate.

④ The machining angle of gate and the machining angle of valve pin nose are different. (Gate of taper type)


⑤ Gate machining shape is same in case of straight type. It is better to use straight type gate in case of using hydraulic system.

4) Comparison of features between valve gate and open gate Division Open Gate Valve Gate

Gate Mark

- Not clean - Beautiful

Drool problem

- There is drool problem. - It is necessary to remove the drooled resin (after pause) - Nozzle should be operated at relatively high temperature. - There is possibility of problem when changing mold.

- There is no drool phenomenon

Injection pressure

- Change of injection condition pursuant to gate temperature

- Low pressure injection is possible with large gate - Decrease of twisting and stress due to decrease of stress within cavity

Injection speed

- Change of injection speed pursuant to gate temperature

- Constant injection speed - High-speed injection is possible. - Shortening of cycle time - Pressure compensation time may be removed or minimized.

Resin used

- Increase and decrease of efficiency pursuant to resin characteristics

- possible to be widely used in all heat-plasticresin

4. Features and Use Effect of Valve System Valve pin may be closed while injection pressure is maintained in mold after injection and help plasticizing for the next shot material supply, then afterwards injection pressure may be transferred to cavity at the opening of gate as soon as mold closes.

If the quantity and shape of molding product are composed of several different cavities or in case that large mold product is composed of several gates, it is possible to regulate filling amount of each cavity through sequence operation in order to improve or move weld line and so on.

Valve gate system enables to make gate larger, so that low-pressure molding and high-speed molding are possible for this system, and molding may be performed without difficulty up to the end of product.

Because gate is plugged up by valve pin, it is possible to make gate seal perfect, which enables product to gain good surface with clean gate mark, to improve product quality by decreasing of internal stress and reducing of molding deformation, and extending life time of mold.

As gate may be made relatively larger, it is possible to make product thickness thin and to shorten cooling time.

3) Machining of cylinder part 1) Because the dimension around * mark is important, exact machining is required. 2) Entrance part and side part where “0” ring is inserted should be machined by taking care of

roughness. If roughness is not smooth, it may cause damage of “0” ring when assembling cylinder. 3) Tolerance and dimension should be observed in order to fix cylinder exactly and to maintain

valve pin protrusion quantity constant. 4) In case of gun drill type, the entrance part where cylinder is inserted and the entrance

part in air line hole should be rounded or chamfered. If rounding or chamfering is not carried out, it may cause damage in “0” ring when assembling cylinder.

4) Nozzle part machining 1) The part with * mark should be precisely machined. 2) YUDO requires hold plate by all means in using hot runner. Of course, there is no problem

in using YUDO system by directly attaching nozzle to cavity plate. However, hot runner disambling and assembling is repeated on the way of test injection and correction of mold, this may cause of resin leakage, heater line blockage, etc. But also increase of manhour causes more cost than addition of hold plate in terms of total cost in the end, and causes drop in reliability of mold.

Structure of general hot runner Structure with hold plate required by YUDO

3) Machine the space where nozzle

flange part will be inserted in hold plate.

4) Machine lead wire slot. Machine heater so that lead wire may be come out of the lower surface of hold plate. Only such arrangement makes it possible to change heater directly on ianjection machine without disambling and assembling of hot runner in case of line disconnection.

5) Use M8-P1.25 tap for manifold clamping bolt. Bolt position is 68mm in manifold width direction and 60mm in length direction as shown in the drawing below.

The most important dimension is ØD1. It is designed so that inflow of resin into heater part may be prevented by side contact of ØD1 and nozzle end part. L2 dimension is important, but there is thermal expansion, so that L2 section is not major point of resin leakage. There should be coolant hole within a maximum of 20mm from gate center.

(6) VV Type Gate Machining Method

a. Cut and rough the part while nozzle will be assembled on cavity plate with machining center. part should be cut as circular machining at first so that reference may

be caught during discharging machining of gate part. part should be machined with drill or end mill as roughing concept.

b. Cut the part where nozzle end part will be assembled.( part in the

drawing). Adjust depth while machining circle at machining center because this part has precise tolerance. Circle machining method is shown in the drawing.

c. Machine part by machining shape with end mill.

d. Machine the gate in rough state using end mill with 0.5mm

side allowance. e. Machine the gate part with electric discharge. Discharge electricity with sufficient time in order

to make it smooth as far as possible because gate part is a flow route of resin. Machine the gate part with electric discharge by all means.The reasion is that precise machining is necessary to avoid gate deformation to product surface direction due to machining force in case that cavity is weak. But also when tool swings, the concentricity between part and gate will not coincide with each other, in case that machining is performed with end mill or drill. Shape of jig for electric discharge is shown in the drawing. It is possible to maintain surface hardness of gate and to lengthen the life of gate through heat-treatment of gate surface by electric discharge machining.

6) Machining of Locating Ring Part

Use of MNL 35

① Locating ring fixes mold and nozzle locator to mold and functions as a guide to set the mold center at center of injection machine holding plate. Locating ring seat should be fixed so as not to be moved by machined hole on clamping plate by all means. And, some part(a part) of locating ring should be designed so as to be pressed by injection machine fixing plate. Fixing of locating ring with only locating ring fixing bolt may be a cause of resin leakage by injection back pressure. Moving of locating ring may be a cause of resin leakage between nozzle locator and manifold.

② Machine locating ring seat on clamping plate.

③ Machine seat of nozzle locator on clamping plate in order to assemble nozzle locator.

④ Locating ring should be machined in accordance with specification of injection machine.

⑤ Refer to the drawing in the right side for machining method.

7) Machining of Lead Wire Slot Part

① Machine the lead wire slot by selecting a hole of proper size according to wire quantity. ② Wire surface should be prevented from being damaged by machining the solt in the proper

round(minimum R10) at the part where wire slot is bent. ③ Lead wire slot should be machined differently according to quantity of wire. ④ Wire slot machining size pursuant to the quantity of wire is as follows.

8) MODU Plate Machining(Clamping Plate, Spacer Block, Hold Plate)

① Machine the guide pin hole for fixing MODU plate position. It is more advantageous to machine those 3 MODU plates and cavity plate simultaneously when machining guide pin hole. Simultaneous machining can reduce error due to machining during MODU plate assembly.

② Machine the dimension by referring to the drawing. ③ Machine the bolt hole for fixing

MODU plate. Machine the hole in clamping plate and spacer block, and machine tap in hold plate.

④ Bolt(B2) standard differs according to mold base standard. If the size of mold base is 600mm or less, install 4 or more M16 bolts ; and if the size of mold base is 600mm or more, install more than 6 units of M16 bolts or 4 units of M20 bolts.

⑤ Machine bolt hole(B1) for fixing MODU plate and cavity plate.Machine the hole on MODU plate and machine the tap on cavity plate.Follow the dimension specification for machining position and bolt specification, and the enterprise should provide exact location and specification when ordering MODU.

⑥ The length of ØD H7g6 part of guide pin should be H+5mm or more longer from the hold plate face(cavity plate position should be fixed in advance of fixing the end part of nozzle when assembling MODU), and the length of ØD-3 part should be fabricated 10~15mm longer than the longest nozzle(cavity plate position is guided first, rather than nozzle tip end part when assembling mold first). Otherwise, the end part of nozzle tip contacts with mold and is damaged when assembling MODU plate on mold.

⑦ Guide pin specification is as follows

Standard used D D1 D2 D3 H H1 Mb CPN30L 30 35.5 46 60 10 8 M6

CPN40L 40 45.5 67 90 20 10 M12

⑧ Guide pin is 10~15mm longer than nozzle to be assembled to cavity plate first, so that nozzle is guided by cavity plate.

⑨ Because precise fitting is made when assembling part of nozzle, guide pin must be

assembled to cavity plate first to play a role of guide.

6. Check Items of Hot Runner System

1) Check of Hot Runner System Part

Check if the quantity of component is accurate by checking part list of the system. In the event that the quantity of component is not accurate in system assembly, the assembly schedule may be delayed due to lack of component. Especially, check if the quantities of “0” ring, pin and bolt coincide with the necesary quantities. In case of MODU type, check if the component to be assembled on MODU plate which should be is attached. (Connecting Box, Solenoid Valve, Wiring Name Plate) (1) Check if heater and T/C are properly assembled to the nozzle. Give number to heater and

T/C and bind lead wire together, so as to prevent from wrong wiring, between heater and T/C wires.

(2) Check if the component are attached exactly on manifold.

(Upper, Lower Riser Pad, Nozzle Locator, Thermocouple, etc.) Give number to heater and T/C and bind lead wire together, so as to prevent from confused wiring.

(3) Check assembly state and operation state of cylinder component.

Check if “0” ring is attached to the outside in case of gun drill type, and check if nipple is attached to housing in case of nipple type. And check if snap ring is properly assembled on the upper side of housing. Wrong assembly of snap ring may cause serious personal injuries owing to cylinder cap bouncing out, when inserting air in order to check operation. Check the operation state by inserting air into air line of each cylinder. (3~4Kgf/ air pressure is proper for test.) In case of MODU type, check the operation state by connecting air line to one touch air nipple of solenoid valve. (4~6Kgf/ air pressure is proper for test.)

(4) Check connecting box.

Check if there is connector and solenoid valve and if the quantity is proper. Check if silencer and one touch nipple are attached to solenoid valve.

2) Electric Check of Hot Runner System

Because hot runner is equipped with electric components as compared with other mold components, thorough check is necessary. Especially, the insulation state and division between heater wire and T/C wire are very important in heater part. It should be checked by all means. (1) Check of Nozzle Heater and T/C

Check insulation state by connecting power line of nozzle heater to + or – of tester and by contacting the other side of tester to body of nozzle. At this time, resistance should be selected for selection switch of tester. Needle of tester should not move for insulation state.

Check resistance of heater and existence of line disconnection by connecting two lines of tester to power line of nozzle heater. The checked resistance value may be basis of determining capacity of heater and capacity of controller. At this time, select resistance for selection switch of tester.

- Calculation method is as follows. Diagram of Ω law

If the measured resistance value and the voltage are known, it may be calculated with E2/R.

Ex) If R=60Ω E=220 V

W=E2/R 2202/60=806.66 W

Table: ②-1

I = current (A)

E = voltage (V)

R = resistance (Ω)

W= power

consumption (W)

31

Check if line is disconnected by connecting two lines of thermocouple(T/C) to + and – of tester. There are ground and non-ground type in T/C. Generally, ground type is used. However, non-ground type T/C should be used in case of ultra-precise injection. T/C and nozzle are grounded in case of ground type, and it is insulated in case of non-ground type.

Check if T/C type is IC or CA by checking coating color of T/C.

How to identify polarity of T/C is as follows.

Division + - YUDO Sleeve Color Coating color Red stripe Yellow stripe

Material Iron Constantan IC (J) Magnetism Magnetic Non-magnetic

Yellow

Coating color Red stripe Blue stripe Material Chromel Alumel CA (K)

Magnetism Non-magnetic Magnetic Blue

Table : ④-1

(2) Check of manifold Heater and T/C

- Check insulation state by connecting + or – of tester to power line of manifold heater and then contacting another side of tester to manifold block. (Same as how to test insulation of nozzle) - Check resistance of heater and existence of disconnection by connecting two lines of tester to power line of nozzle heater. (Same as how to test disconnection of nozzle) - Check existence of disconnection by connecting two lines of thermocouple(T/C) to + and of tester. (Same as how to tester disconnection of nozzle) - Check whether T/C type is IC or CA by checking coating color of T/C. How to identify polarity of T/C is as table ④-1. - Check resistance value by connecting power line of manifold heater to + and – of tester. The checked resistance value becomes a basis to determine heater capacity and controller capacity. (Same as how to check resistance value of nozzle) The maximum value of induction controller is 15A, and maximum average capacity is proper to use up to 10~12A.

32

3) Dimensional Check of Hot Runner System Dimension inspection of hot runner system has close relationship with mold, and dimension measurement is used as important data when assembling mold, so that it should be exactly measured.

(1) Dimension check of manifold Check manifold thickness and riser pad thickness. Manifold thickness is usually 45T(tolerance: +0.05~0), and may be 50T(tolerance: +0.05~0) in some cases. Riser pad thickness is usually 10T(tolerance: 0~-0.02) in upper side of manifold and 15T(tolerance: +0.05~0) in lower side. Tolerance scope of measured dimension including riser pad is 70T or 75T(tolerance: -0.04~+0.05).

Check the distance between dowel pin center and gate center for gate position. Manifold gate distance is a dimension to consider thermal expansion quantity, so that it differ from gate distance on mold drawing. Thermal expansion quantity is calculated by using the following formula.

Formula Δ L = (1.23*10-5)*L*Δ T Δ T = (To-Tm) Δ L = Thermal expansion quantity

(1.23*10-5) = Thermal expansion coefficient To = Manifold temperature Tm = Mold temperature L = Distance between manifold Center and gate

Ex) L = 127mm To = 280 Tm = 60 Δ T = (280-60) = 220 Δ L = (1.23*10-5)

*127*220 =0.34366mm

The distance between manifold center and gate is 126.6563mm.

Thermal expansion quantity diagram pursuant to the length is as follows.

33

(2) Check of nozzle dimension - Check BALA nozzle by using the same thermal expansion quantity as manifold. - Check dimension of nozzle ØD and ØD1 part and 30mm part. - Check dimension of nozzle L1. The dimension of L1 is machined short by considering thermal expansion quantity. Because the normal dimension on the drawing is a dimension after thermal expansion, the product is as short as thermal expansion quantity. Formula Δ L = (1.08*10-5)*L*Δ T Δ T = (Tn-Tm) Δ L = Thermal expansion quantity (1.08*10-5)=Thermal expansion coefficient Tn = Nozzle temperature Tm = Mold temperature L = Mold size of nozzle touch part

- Nozzle length, where thermal expansion quantity by model and temperature is considered, is as follows. (Nozzle length is machined as short as thermal expansion quantity based on 220 which is a temperature usually used for nozzle.) In case of using special resin, nozzle length should be adjusted by specifying injection temperature and mold temperature.

3) Check of valve pin dimension ① Check the size of valve pin end part according to the size of gate. The size of pin end part is

smaller than gate size because valve pin is protruded 0.5mm from gate surface.

95+0.5+70+30=195.5mm Valve pin length is protruded 0.5mm from gate surface. (Refer to the drawing of page 5)

4. Check Items of Gate Part

(1) Check of gate machining state (Using valve pin)

Joint state of valve pin in normal state Valve pin machining angle of normal product is 38˚and gate machining angle is 40˚.

Shape of product gate part

(2) Grind the end part of pin as much as protrusion amount and make it coincide with product surface in order to make product surface coincide with the end side of valve pin. (3) Standard valve pin is delivered with protrusion quantity(0.5mm) plus 1mm allowance length. Therefore, it is 1.5mm longer than normal dimension. It is possible to cope with gate machining defect.(Allowance tolerance to be handled is +0.4~-0.2mm.) (4) If valve pin joint machining angle(40。±30’) and gate size(ØG) are improper, the following phenomenon occurs. (5) If the end part of valve pin does not reach the product surface,

This occurs when gate diameter is smaller than the end part of valve pin.


- Machine gate so that valve pin may coincide with the product surface.

Check the nose angle of gate and the machining angle of pin. This occurs when the gate taper angle is smaller than the taper angle of valve pin

over specified angle.



Check the nose angle of gate and the machining angle of pin.

This occurs when the length of valve pin is short or the taper angle of gate is larger than the taper angle of valve pin over specified angle.



Check the nose angle of gate and the machining angle of pin.

7. Assembly of Hot Runner System (MODU System)

1) Put hold plate on assembly table, and then check the thickness ofplate and the position and size of flange part and various pins. ① The thickness of hold plate should be

ground as ±0.01 tolerance. ② Check if flange part is properly machined.

(Refer to 5-3 flange part machining) ③ Check if various pin holes are machined.

(Dowel Pin, Lock Pin, Guide Pin, etc.) ④ Remove foreign material, chip and so on

from frame plate.

Cavity side

Cavity side

37

2) Install manifold lock pin. This is easy to ignore, but plays very important roles, so this must be omitted by no means. Abnormal wear of gate and pin guide bush may be direct cause of resin leakage.

3) Measure the thickness of spacer block, and then put it on hold plate. At this time, the withdrawal groove part of lead line for manifold should be oriented upward. (Basic reason for resin leakage is determined from the thickness of spacer block.) ※ Thickness tolerance(T) : 0 ∼ -0.03

The thickness of spacer block is the most important reason of resin leakage. Minus(-) tolerance must be maintained by all means.

4) Assemble nozzle(protrusion height : 15 +0.04) Give gate number to the end part of lead wire(because it is difficult in the completely assembled state), and draw it through withdrawal groove of lead wire of spacer block. Insert Cu ring into the groove of nozzle. Because the used Cu ring has possibility of resin leakage in case of re-use, replace Cu ring with new one by all means when re-assembling it after disassembly.

38

5) Check if dowel pin and disc are attached to manifold, and install manifold by adjusting the position of manifold lock pin.- Caution : Take care so that dust or foreign material may not inserted in the surface where manifold and nozzle contact each other. Take care so that lead wire may not be pushed between nozzle and manifold.

6) Tighten the bolt for fixing manifold. (M8×P1.25, length 60∼65) Give number to the end part of lead wire, and draw it through lead withdrawal groove of lead wire. At this time, bind heater wire and T/C wire together so that they may not be mixed with other wires.

7) Check thickness of clamping plate,

position/size of cylinder, and so on, and then put it on spacer block.

39

8) Adjust the position of clamping plate, spacer block and hold plate with guide pin(2 places). Assemble guide pin and then assemble guide pin cover.

9) Fix clamping plate and hold plate by tightening bolt(B2). Block all the air hole except for air hole (2 places) in sky direction of mold.(PT 1/4”)

10) Insert cylinder housing into cylinder hole of clamping plate.

40

11) Assemble the piston furnished with valve pin to cylinder housing, Push piston completely to the arrow(b) direction, check if valve pin closes

gate completely in gate side, and then measure the height(a) of the upper surface of piston and the upper surface of cylinder housing. The normal dimension of a pursuant to the standard of cylinder is shown in the following diagram.

12) Install cylinder cover. The bolt for tightening

cylinder cover is a M5*15 range bolt.

13) Install locating ring. The bolt for tightening locating ring is a M8 range bolt.

41

14) Attach connector.

15) Install PT 1/4” ring elbow nipple(2 places) for air line pipe on the upper side of mold. * When transporting and handling the assembled MODU system, handle it after retreating (open)

valve pin by all means.

16) Perform wiring in accordance with the following rule. The point to be considered in wiring is to check if heater and T/C to detect its temperature are coupled. Therefore, it is very important to arrange heater lead wire and T/C lead wire and give numbers before wiring.

① The wiring diagram shows manifold shape and gate position which

are seen from fixing side of mold.

② Give gate number first to the gate which is in the center of mold.

③ Wire gate(nozzle) part first and then wire manifold when using manifold.

④ Wiring sequence : Wire gate(nozzle) located at the 1/4 quarter surface(X : + , Y ; +) in sky direction as seen from fixed side (machine nozzle side) first in counterclockwise direction according to sequence, and then wire manifold in the same sequence.

42

⑤ In case that gate is multi-point when using I type manifold, wire gate(nozzle) in operator side first when manifold is installed horizontally, and then wire it from upper side to down side according to sequence when installing it vertically.

17) Wire hot runner system at connector.

18) Inspect wiring state after completing wiring to connector.

Wiring inspection

① Wire the lead line of each heater and sensor at the connector in the upper side of mold according to wiring diagram, and then fix it.

② Check if there is line disconnection or electric leakage by measuring the resistance between heater terminals at connector. Measurement method is the same as 6.2.1)②.

③ Calculate capacity of heater by calculating the measured resistance of each nozzle heater according to the method of 6.2.1)②. If the calculated capacity is the same as the capacity indicated in the following table(deviation ±10%), the wiring is normal.

④ If the checked resistance value is remarkably smaller than the numerical value in the

table, there is a possibility of lead wire shorting, and so connecting of power line at this time may damage thermostat.

⑤ Because sensor and mold contact each other(in case of ground type T/C) in electric leakage check, there is no abnormality.

46

19) Assemble sequence system. ① Insert sealing plate between solenoid valve and

air manifold, and then assemble it.(M4*35) ② Tighten blocking bolt into air manifold.

③ Assemble one touch nipple and silencer to

air manifold.

④ Put sealing plate and the assembled air

manifold on the mold, and then tighten it using M5*70 flat head cap bolt.

47

⑤ Connect solenoid valve magnet power cable to 10P or 16P square connector.

⑥ Assemble the connected square connector to mold using M4*12 bolt.

⑦ The completely assembled shape is as follows.

48

20) Check item after assembling MODU system ① Check the operation state of cylinder and valve pin with 3~4Kgf/ pressure by

connecting air line. ② Check if bolt head, cylinder cover, center pin cover, etc. is protruded on the upper side

of clamping plate. ③ Check if there is no damage in assemble process at the end part of valve tip. ④ Check if opening and closing of valve gate are normal.

21) Assemble the assembled MODU system with cavity plate(mold). In order to assemble it, put cavity plate(mold) on the assembly table, remove foreign material from gate part and cavity plate, and then assemble MODU system based on guide pin.

* When assembling the assembled MODU system

with cavity plate or mold, assemble it after retreating (open) valve pin by all means.

22) Fix MODU system and cavity plate with

bolt(B1).

49

8. Operation of Hot Runner System Before connecting mold to injector, check if the connector terminal wiring of controller coincides with the connector terminal wiring of hot runner mold. Check if wiring is proper and heater and T/C operate jointly by putting power to each controller, and then install mold.

1) Installation ① Install mold on machine, and then connect the accessory assembly product of mold (cooling

line, core cylinder, etc.) ② Connect air line to solenoid(induction system is attached to connecting box). In case of

sequence system type, air manifold is equipped with air nipple. ③ Connect signal line connected to injector with solenoid valve. In case of sequence system type,

it is connected to timer controller case(refer to layout drawing). ④ In case of using timer unit, refer to YUDO timer manual(3. Operation pannel of timer unit SIT300).

⑤ Connect the trunk of controller to connecting box. At this time, fix it with care so that connector may not be moved or removed.

⑥ Use the controller which is suitable for the number of heaters by each system. If the connector

terminal wiring of mold is different from the terminal wiring of controller, controller may be destroyed or T/C of heater may be destroyed when inputting power. Be sure to recheck it before inputting power.

50

⑦ Connect trunk to controller, turn on main switch, turn on the switch of each unit one by one and soft start function, and then check temperature change.

2) Caution before operation ① Check if there is disconnection, electric leakage, or air leakage in heater and T/C by all means

before and after installing mold on machine. ② Check the operation state of valve pin by operating injection signal manually. ③ Start operation when there is no problem with all functions. ④ Check all the functions of mold and injector with cooling line of mold opened. In case of

checking it over long time, convert the temperature of controller to preheating function. Especially, because the material which is sensitive to heat causes carbonization, care should be taken.

⑤ If there is no problem with mold and machine operation, check injection quantity and pin operation state by setting the temperature of nozzle 10 higher than injection temperature and injecting it one or twice with mold opened.

⑥ Check flow valance of raw material while injecting it over three times(short-shot) with mold closed.

⑦ Check the program in various products such as carbonization, gate mark, gas, etc. by injecting it at the same temperature as injection.

⑧ Prevent carbonization due to stay in advance by lowering the temperature of controller about 70% if it takes long time to review product.(Because engineering plastic or the material with additive may be easily carbonized, temperature should be lowered by all means.)

⑨ Perform normal injection work. ⑩ In case of stopping mass production for the time being, lower setting temperature about 70%

by all means. ⑪ If carbonization occurs, open mold immediately and purge it 3 or 4 times.

3) Maintenance

Maintenance is very important because it extends the life of mold as well as the life of hot runner system. ① When mass production is finished, remove raw material or foreign material attached to hot

runner system completely. ② Remove all moisture and oil, and spray antirust to prevent rusting. ③ Keep mold at a place where there is no moisture and ventilation is well done. ④ In case of keeping it for long time, take care so that moisture may not invade heater.

Remove moisture from system. ⑤ When entering re-mass production, check operation state of valve pin while raising the

temperature of hot runner system by 10. At this time, perform operation sequence in the same way as 8-2-⑥.

51

9. Disassembly and Assembly

1) Disassembly and assembly when replacing various “0” rings of cylinder

① In order to replace “0” ring by disassembling cylinder with mold cooled completely after injection, connect controller to nozzle and manifold first and then heat it. Heat it by setting heating temperature by 20 higher than the minimum melting temperature of resin in the nozzle. Note : Change of ”O” rings is recommended with new ones, when it is disassembled to prevent problems caused by

wearing of it.

② Remove cylinder cover bolt and then disassemble cover. ③ Remove snap ring for fixing piston cap, and then

disassemble cap. ④ Disassemble piston using the tap in

the upper side of piston-out.(At this time, valve pin is disassembled together.)

⑤ Remove snap ring which is in the

inside of piston-out using tool, and then disassemble piston-in and valve pin.

⑥ Disassemble housing from clamping plate. ⑦ Assemble it in the reverse order of disassembly.

52

2) Disassembly and assembly when replacing nozzle heater and T/C

Disassemble from the Manifold side

① Disassemble nozzle from mold. (Because Cu ring being assembled at the upper side of nozzle may be used only once at this time, replace it with new one during re-assembly.)

② Fix the flange part of the disassembled nozzle to fixing jig, and then separate snap ring.

③ Disassemble heater from nozzle. ④ Disassemble thermocouple(T/C) from nozzle. ⑤ Assemble it in the reverse order of disassembly.

Disassemble from the Cavity side

① Disassemble MODU system only from mold.(If B1 bolt is removed, only MODU is separated.)

② Separate snap ring from nozzle. ③ Disassemble heater from nozzle. ④ Disassemble thermocouple(T/C) from nozzle. ⑤ Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly.

Note : Cu-ring must be replaced when it is disassembled.

Shape of gate mark

1. Gate is machined in straight type, and valve pin is machined in taper type.

2. Valve pin is closed with gate hardened completely.

3. Air pressure is deficient. 4. Temperature around gate is too low. 5. Foreign material is mixed in gate part.

1. Machine valve pin and gate in same type. 2. Set pressure compensation time short during

injection. 3. Use air booster if air pressure is 6.0kgf/cm2 or

less. (Model: VABT10) 4. Raise temperature of nozzle, or loosen cooling

condition of mold. 5. Check it, and then remove it.

Shape of gate mark

1. Gate is machined smaller than valve pin.

1. Machine it again using gate bush. (Machine it again by referring 5.4 VA type gate machining drawing.)

Shape of gate mark

1. Temperature of valve pin is high. 1-1 Improve cooling condition by adding cooling cooling line around gate. 1-2 Lower temperature of nozzle.

Shape of gate mark

1. Gate diameter of mold is larger than pin.

1. Change pin or reduce gate.

Shape of gate mark

1. Valve pin is short. 2. Air pressure is low. 3. Injection time is too long.

1. Check the length of valve pin. 2. Use air booster if air pressure is less than

6.0Kgf/. (Model: VABT10) 3. Inject it while reducing injection time and

pressure compensation time.

E. Resin leakage

1. Defective assembly of mold. 2. Defect in assembly of system itself 3. Injector nozzle does not coincide

with nozzle locator “R” of manifold.

1. Check defective machining dimension of mold. 2. Keep assembly sequence during assembly after

disassembly of system, and check operation by all means after assembly.

3. Adjust injector nozzle to nozzle locator “R” of manifold.

2. Cause and countermeasure by resin leakage point A part : This is a problem caused by wrong radius at the contact part between injector and nozzle locator. R of

injector nozzle should be 1R or more smaller then radius(R21) of nozzle, and the size of injector nozzle gate should be smaller then the size of nozzle locator gate.

B part : This is a ring to prevent resin leakage in manifold and nozzle locator, and once nozzle locator is

disassembled, Cu ring having been used at this place should not be re-used. Replace it with new one by all means. In order to prevent resin leakage at this place, assemble M8 bolt with even force until it is completely pushed.

C part : Resin leakage occurs due to bad adherence state between manifold and pin guide bush. Resin leakage

occurs because clamping plate does not clamp pin guide bush. In order to make clamp complete, the dimension of spacer block should maintain --- (Refer to clause 7. 7-3). Non-observance of this dimension may be the largest cause of resin leakage.

D part : Resin leakage occurs due to the gap between valve pin and pin guide bush. If resin leakage occurs,

replace valve pin and pin guide bush simultaneously. E part : This is a ring to prevent resin leakage in manifold and nozzle, and once nozzle is disassembled, Cu ring

having been used at this place should not be re-used. Replace it with new one by all means. The largest cause of resin leakage is that clamping plate can not clamp nozzle completely. The dimension of spacer block should maintain – in order that clamping may be complete (Refer to clause 7. 7-3). Non-observing this dimension is the largest reason of resin leakage.

F part : This is a problem caused by incomplete contact between mold and nozzle end part, and this occurs

frequently when mold depth, diameter, etc. are unsuitable, so that thorough measurement should be performed before assembling system to mold.

G part : This is a blocked place using end plug and blocking bolt in order to convert the direction of resin hole

machined at manifold, and resin leakage occurs due to bad adherence between manifold and end plug.

Phenomenon Countermeasures

F. In case that resin leaks on manifold but heater is

not disconnected.

1. Check if heater is disconnected by measuring resistance on manifold heater.

2. Check insulation state by measuring resistance on manifold heater. If insulation state is good(5), heat it using controller.

3. Heat manifold using controller, and then disassemble clamping plate.

4. Disassemble spacer block.

5. Remove the resin attached to the upper part and the side part of manifold. (When removing resin, remove resin at the temperature of manifold where controller is turned off and not cooled. If controller is not turned off, there is danger of electric shock. Special care should be taken when removing resin at the lead line part. If the bolt in the heater end part is cut or damaged, it can not be repaired and heater should be replaced.)

6. Remove manifold clamping bolt and then disassemble manifold.

7. Remove the resin in the lower part of the disassembled manifold. When removing the resin in manifold lastly, wipe manifold surface with soft cloth so that it may not be damaged. (Damage may cause water leakage on manifold surface and nozzle touch surface during re-assembly.)

8. Cut lead wire attached to the end part of heater.

9. Remove bolt in the end part of heater, and perform wiring again.

10. Remove the resin attached to nozzle and lead wire.

11. Assemble the nozzle where resin is removed, replace Cu ring with new one and then assemble it in the reverse sequence of disassembly.

G. In case that resin leaks on manifold, heater is not disconnected, and coolant leaks to destroy insulation of heater.

1. Remove the coolant attached to mold using air and soft cloth.


3. Check insulation state by measuring resistance on manifold heater. If insulation state is checked to be 0.5 or more, heat it using YUDO controller. Because there is soft start function in YUDO controller, it improves insulation state of heater when inputting power for the first time.

4. If insulation state is 0.5 or less by measuring resistance on manifold heater, dry the end part of heater so that insulation state may be 0.5 or more, and then heat it using YUDO controller.

5. Heat manifold using controller, and then disassemble clamping plate.

6. Handle it in the same way as the content after No.4 of D.

H. In case that manifold heater is disconnected.


2. If heater is disconnected, receive customer service by contacting the head office of YUDO or each branch office.
