When the customer gets the mould and plan to start production, the first step is to load the mould to machine, but how to load the mould to injection machine properly?
First, you need to check the mould size, and then decide how to load.
Generally, plastic mould will be put into injection molding machine from machine upside, if the mould size is smaller than machine tie bar distance, it will be easy to put the mould into machine. But if the mould width or length exceed the machine tie bar distance, it should be taken care when put the mould into machine, because it will easy crash the mould to machine and damage the mould. As to small or middle size mould, you can try to put the mould from the side or load the mould with an angle. After loading the mould into machine tie bar, then fit the mould locating ring to machine locating hole and use screw and clamping plate to fix the mould one side. Then open and close the mould several time to check whether everything is right, finally fix both side mould on machine. Above is load the whole mould together. As for big size mould, some time, the mould cannot be lift by one time, it should be loading separately.
Anyway, the rule of loading mould to machine is taking care of workers and mould and making ensure the mould is in right position and fix tightly on machine.
