Before running in to the mold range with the Y-axis for the first time, you must check whether the X-positions can be reached without damaging the mode and the Y-axis. First, the end position of the X-axis must be adjusted. Adjusting the end position 1) Run the X-axis to its end position 2) Push the axis to the desired position manually...
If the Y-axis is shifted, also the withdrawal position changes. Adjusting the Z-Position 2.4.3 The Z-position is determined by adjusting the position of the shock absorber. Before adjusting, release the compressed air. 1) Loosen the nuts on the rotate cylinder 2) Adjust the rotate cylinder into the desired position 3) Tighten the nuts in place The Z-position must be adjusted so that the Y-axis can be fully run out.
parts, the light off. 3. Tighten the fixing screw after finishing adjustment. During the robot operation, if the gripper not clamps the parts, the robot will stop operating and alarm. Picture 2-6: Magnetic Switch Suction Setting 2.5.2 Compressed air source setting: The pressure sensor is set at the minimum air pressure when the machine is working, that is, when the input pressure exceeds the value, it will feedback to the system to ensure that the machine work properly.
Suction pressure setting: The suction with negative-pressure measuring function, when negative pressure is set to the preinstalled value, it will feedback and output to the system. The negative pressure value set -60% as factory setting. So, when negative pressure up to -60%, signal output. If need to modify the value: Loosing screw C.
The robot-injection molding machine interface is designed according to the directives of Euromap67, which states: Unless otherwise noted, the signals, which are maintained during the described function. 2.6.1.1 The Injection Molding Machine Output Signals Contact No. Function Emergency stop channel 1 The emergency stop switch of the injection molding machine is used to interrupt the emergency stop circuit of the robot.

Contact No. Function Mold open HIGH signal if the mold opening position is equal or more than the required position. Inadvertent alteration to mold opening stroke smaller than that required for the robot to approach must be impossible. Mold at intermediate position HIGH signal when the mold opening has reached the specified intermediate position and remains HIGH until the mold is completely open.
2.6.1.2 Robot Output Signals Contact No. Function Emergency stop of robot channel 1 Opening of the switch contacts of the robot must shut off the control system of the molding machine. Emergency stop of robot channel 2 Opening of the switch contacts of the robot must shut off the control system of the molding machine.
Contact No. Function Enable movement of core pullers 1 to position for removal of the molding. When the motion of the core pullers is to the position for removal of the molding is Optional enabled. Enable movement of core pullers 2 to position for the robot to approach freely.
2.6.2.1 Injection Molding Machine Output Signals Plug Contact No. Function Emergency stop of machine 1,9 The emergency stop switch of the injection molding machine is used to interrupt the emergence stop circuit of the robot. Mold open The switch contact (pin contact 16) is closed when mould opening position is equal or more than required position.
Plug Contact No. Function Mold at intermediate position Switch (see pin contact No.16) is closed when the IMM has reached the specified intermediate position and remains closed until the IMM is completely open .the signal may be used in two ways: 1) Mould opening stops on intermediate position and gives start signal to handling device/robot.

Fast mold changing design provides simple method for changing molds. The base is rotatable for 90℃ by releasing the handle. Branded pneumatic accessories provide extensive use life. Removable electric circuit stands allows easy maintenance. Picture 3-1: SS-550-S 32(71)
3.2 SS-S Application 1. SS-550-S is suitable for injection molding machine under 150T clamp force. 2. SS-650-S is suitable for injection molding machine under 200T clamp force. 3. SS-750-S is suitable for injection molding machine under 250T clamp force. 3.3 SS-S Features 1.
Stroke Measuring 3.4.2 There are magnetic switches (picture a) on the front and back of the crosswise stroke cylinder and having the proximity switches on the left and right sides of the rotation cylinder and arms (picture b), use to measure whether the cylinder stroke is normal.
Picture 3-3: Handle 3.4.4.2 Reversing The robot arm fixed on curved slide, easy to change robot reversing. The following are the steps: 1. Loosen the bolt which fixed rotate cylinder, moves rotate cylinder to the other side, and then fix it. 2.
When the air pressure is sufficient, the pneumatic cut off protection device will set free and the robot will work again. In addition, there is a manual ring on the device. When the air pressure is insufficient and the arm is in locked state, the customer can manually pull the ring and pull out the piston rod to move it.
3.6 Adjusting and Setting Default Setting 3.6.1 When the robot sends out of the factory: 1. The direction of the arm rotation is left. 2. The pressure sensor is 4bar. If the air pressure is less than 4bar, the robot will stop working and alarm.
Picture 3-8: Filter Regulator Shock Absorber 3.6.5 Before the robot send out of our factory, it has been tested strictly. But, because of the different working surroundings, the robot may be not operating smoothly as expected. Adjust the shock absorber, the steps as flowing: 1.
Note: According the cylinder’s model to choose the size of the adjustment tool. Adjust in clockwise direction, the buffering power become large, counterclockwise direction is reverse. Picture 3-10: Buffer Device The Position of Swinging-in Adjustment 3.6.6 In general, the position of the arm swinging-in is in vertical statement. If the mold is special designed, and the injection door is not in the center of the mold, you can loosen the fixed nut on shock absorber of rotation cylinder to adjust the limited height and the position of the arm swing-in.
3.7 Check Before Using After installation, please check: 1. All parts connected fasten. 2. Air hose and electrical wiring connected well. 3. Anti-falling cylinder is normal. 4. All sensors are working. Any alarm during operation, please refer to chapter 5 Error Correction. 40(71)
