horizontal typeinjection molding machineThis is the most common type. The mold closing part and the injection part are on the same horizontal centerline, and the mold is opened horizontally. Its characteristics are: short body,Horizontal Injection Molding MachineEasy to operate and maintain; The machine has a low center of gravity and is installed smoothly; After the product is pushed out, it can automatically fall down by gravity, making it easy to achieve fully automatic operation. Its disadvantages are: the installation of the mold is relatively complicated, there is a possibility of tilting or falling of the embedded parts, and the machine tool occupies a large area.
Characteristics of horizontal injection molding machine:
1. Due to the low body of the mainframe, there is no height limit for the factory where it is installed.
2. In situations where the product can be automatically dropped, automatic molding can be achieved without the need for a robotic arm.3. Due to its low body, it is easy to feed and maintain.
4. The mold needs to be installed by a crane.
5. Multiple units arranged in parallel make it easy for molded products to be collected and packaged by conveyor belts
Usage of horizontal injection molding machine
Before starting the horizontal injection molding machine, the following points should be achieved:
(1) Check whether there is lubricating oil (grease) in each moving part and add sufficient lubricating oil.
(2) Turn on the electric heater and heat up each section of the barrel. When the temperature of each section reaches the required level, keep it warm for a period of time to stabilize the machine temperature. The insulation time varies depending on the requirements of different equipment and plastic materials.
(3) Add enough plastic into the hopper. According to the requirements of different plastics for injection molding, some raw materials are best dried first.
(4) Cover the heat shield on the barrel to save energy and extend the lifespan of the electric heating coil and current contactor.
(5) Check if there is water or oil entering the electrical control box. If the electrical appliance is damp, do not turn it on. Electrical components should be dried by maintenance personnel before turning on the machine.
(6) Check if the power supply voltage meets the requirements, generally not exceeding ± 15%.
(7) Check if the emergency stop switch and front and rear safety door switches are functioning properly. Verify the electric motor andoil pumpIs the direction of rotation consistent.
(8) Check whether each cooling pipeline is unobstructed, and introduce cooling water into the cooling water jacket at the end of the oil cooler and the barrel
