How to Repair a Stuck Mold in a Horizontal Injection Molding Machine?

Possible Reasons for Inability to Adjust the Mold:

  • The proximity switch, relay, or contactor may be damaged.
  • The gap between the adjusting nut gland and the nut is insufficient.
  • There could be thread binding.
  • The mold adjustment motor might be malfunctioning.
  • The sliding feet of the second board may be too tight.
  • There could be a disruption in the line or poor contact.

Solutions:

  • Use a feeler gauge to measure and adjust the gap between the gland and the nut.
  • Check if the mold adjustment reversing valve is stuck or powered: repair or replace the valve as needed.
  • Inspect for phase loss or undervoltage in the three-phase supply: replace any defective components.
  • Verify if there is strain on the sliding foot: repair and adjust the sliding feet of the second board.
  • Examine the control circuit and various contacts: reconnect any loose wiring.
  • Ensure that the nut can rotate freely: repair the threads and replace the nuts if necessary.
