It is important to maintain your injection molding machine for extending its life, as well as guaranteeing the quality of your part. The disciplined and daily maintenance of SHENZHOU injection molding machines is essential in ensuring that our machines continue to meet the demanding levels of reliability and efficiency for which they have become renowned. This basic checklist will help you keep your machine running successfully.
Pre-Startup Visual Inspection
Before you open your SHENZHOU machine in the morning, perform a visual inspection. Examine the machine for oil and water leaks. Check that all guards and doors are in place and work properly. Inspect the hydraulic oil level in tank to ensure it is within normal range. See after the machine is started and stopped for any tools or debris that were left on the work area. This preliminary survey lays a solid foundation for the work of the day.
Care and Maintenance of Clamping Units and Molds
It is the clamping unit. Check with your eyes, the tie rods and the lubrication points of the mould holding system. Make sure the cavity surfaces are clean and free of objects/agent. Make sure the ejector working smooth, without blocking. Regarding the SHENZHOU models, renowned by its reliable performance; keeping the clamping system clean and lubricated at all times guarantees that wear is kept to a minimum and mold movements are precise.
Injection and Hydraulic System Checks
We should focus on the injection system and hydraulic system. Listen for odd sounds as the screw revolves and when it moves forward. While doing this, check and see if the hydraulic system is maintaining constant pressure; verify that everything is not vibrating unexpectedly. Our machines are equipped with rugged hydraulic systems as well as energy efficient servo options, and listening for changes in the sound can provide early warning on minor issues that can be dealt with before they become a major headache.
Control System and Electrical Components
The advanced control system on your SHENZHOU is the brains of the machine. Look at the control panel for any error messages or unusual symbols as part of your daily check. Make sure the operating screen is responding accurately and the settings are all right for production job. Maintain sealed service doors on electrical cabinets to eliminate the dust contamination on valuable parts which is why our Wilde disc chippers offer long life operation.
