This is making my brain hurt! THREE for a mold change in a 150 T or less press? WOW! In my youth, I changed a pair of 1000T Farrells in one 8 hour shift, by myself. The 'mold level for flow' cracked me up! How 'mold true to platen so you don't crash the KO pins'? How about 'locator ring adaptor ON mold to avoid a crash'? I don't think I could stomach their version of 'cycling in'.
Move the machine over the lifting beam properly and you can loose the person holding the die in place while you bolt it in , and locate it easier. 3 guys on a die change crazy
As Joy Signal closes, we just shipped out our Arburg Allrounder 175V to Ohio. Lowering the injection head for shipment was exciting. All we're left with is an old school custom PLC controlled "Screw"burg.
I've had many different jobs in my life but I did enjoy Molding set-up and processing. We had 29 Molders from the small 75 Ton Cincinnati Milicrons to the 500 Ton HPM's, producing "Signal-Stat" heavy Truck lighting for Federal Mogul. We also did all of the lights on the U.S. Postal Service (LLV's) minus the headlights. What may run fine at 9AM may go out of Spec when the place gets hotter later on in the day. Conditions are always changing and you had to adjust for them. The Thermelators heating and drying the Acrylic, Polycarb and PVC resin and everything radiating heat, whew, did I say I missed that? lol
So true you shouldn't take the crane off until both sides are clamped and yes those are little molds. I was hanging almost 2 ton molds at the Hoover Plant
Die neuen Arburg, da stellt sich der Kniehebel automatisch ein. Du musst nur die Seite finden. :-))) Bei 1 K Maschinen brauchst du keine Wasserwage. Richte dich an die Gewindebuchsen auf der Aufspannplatte. Ach ja, lasst mit den Gurten an Spannung nach , wenn die Düsenseite fest ist. Ihr verspannt sonst das Werkzeug. Das seht ihr, wenn die Führunssäulen und Zentrierungen anfangen zu "Fressen" also abschaben. Das spürt man, wenn man mit die Finger entlang geht. So ein langer Kratzer.
I dont think you need a hammer to level out the mold also using the extension metal to tighten it down for that I would prefer to use torque wrench just to get more accurate on tightening the mold. Also you could've set the clamp first before clamping the b1/2
How come that everybody in the US uses safety goggles when working? At the same time they happily lift loads with open lifting hooks (without a safety latch). Strange....
OSHA. My factory sets the rules for our PEP (personal employee protection) based off OSHA. These guys would be fired where I work as a mold technician. But we don’t have little tiny molds like this. Everything I set requires a 30 ton crane.
"A level mold will help your flow in your mold", really? "Ideally you'd use a torque wrench but, we don't do that" really again?? The "channel" is properly called a clamp slot btw. There is an old saying "Sometimes what is passed off as wisdom is, in all reality, nothing more than eloquent foolishness" Pretty Arburg though...
These guys need to stop, this is hurting my brain... 100 ftlbs per bolt, each clamp is rated for 500 lbs There is an auto die height on that machine...
It is not about whether it is too slow and how many people to help ... it is to be safe and following your thinking, you are probably an employee of a labor camp.
The most primitive way to load a mold tool LOL also so dangerous, the eyebolt probably didnt have a SWL (Safe Weight Load) also it is not a carriage its a toggle lock, if anything your barrel is called a carriage, i suppose it is not too bad with the size of the tools, but if you were working at my place you would be fired within 5 minutes, especially when you are working with 18 ton bumper tools
Ich brauche 90 Minuten. Ist aber 2 Component. Das Werkzeug hat so 2 Tonnen. Wenn ich Pech habe muss, ich den Holm noch ziehen. Dann kommen noch Stecker für Heizung und Fühler dazu. Etwa 12. Kühlung= 50 Schläuche. Wenn alles schön heiß ist, kommt die Hydraulik für die Nadeln-Verschluss Düsen dran. Bei meinem Glück gehen da 4 Stunden drauf. Nebenbei laufen auch noch meine anderen Maschinen. Klar auch in 2 K. :-)))))
How to not put a mould tool in a press, I've been doing this job for 24 years and this is dangerous mould loading! how to bend an eye bolt more like lol
