MACHINE DESCRIPTION



2



The CCM series of hydraulic presses is specially designed to produce thermoplastic products by means of compression. A continuous work-cycle is carried out during which plastic material is fed from a plasticization unit, cut into suitably gauged pellets and then inserted inside the molds. A hydraulic system is employed to close the molds at a pressure that can be regulated while the production cycle is being performed. The time required for cooling down is strictly related to the speed at which the molding turret runs. The main machine parts are illustrated in the figure. FIGURE 2.1 - OVERALL VIEW 1 2

MAIN DEVICES



2.1.1.1



Plasticization unit



The function of this unit is to melt down the plastic compound and then push it out through the nozzles. The temperature and flow rate of these operations are controlled. The unit includes an extruder 1, a link unit 3 (that may vary according to the type of plastic compound and delivery rate used) and a by-pass system 2. In order to compensate for any thermal expansion and to allow maintenance to be carried out the unit is mounted on a track. The machine may be equipped with various extrusion devices, depending on the flow rate required for the plastic material. FIGURE 2.1.1.1 - PLASTICIZATION UNIT 1 2 3A* 3B* (*)

Extruder



Extruder The extruder melts down the plastic compound and homogenizes it with any colorings and lubricants that may have been added. The granular material, picked up by feeder 5 (Refer to the manufacturer's manual), is let in through a hopper 1A or, as an alternative a metering unit/mixer 1B (see the instructions manual provided by the manufacturer) and is pushed into the cylinder 2 by the auger 3 through the various heat conditioning zones. The auger is driven by a geared motor 4. The zones are supplied with heating elements and electric cooling fans. The temperature in each individual zone is measured by thermocouples provided for this purpose.

MACHINE FEATURES Metering pump (optional)



The metering pump controls the flow of the melt and determines the weight of the pellets. The material enters the pump casing 1 (heated by elements EH7) through a suction flange 6 and is pushed by suitable gears 2 (driven by geared motor M8) towards a delivery flange 7. The latter then sends the material to the feed tube. A cooling circuit is installed at the ends of the shaft to prevent the plastic compound from flowing out abruptly. The pressures of the suction and delivery lines are measured by transducers BP1 and BP2 respectively. The pump temperature is controlled by thermocouple BT7.

Feed tube



This carries the melt from the metering pump to the by-pass unit. It consists of a tube and a static mixer (optional), which is used to ensure that the characteristics and temperature of the plastic compound are even throughout. While traveling along the path from the tube to the mixer, the material is kept at a constant temperature by heating elements EH8 and EH9. The temperature is measured by thermocouples BT8 and BT9 respectively. FIGURE 2.1.1.1.3/A - FLANGE AND FEED TUBE WITHOUT MIXER BP2 BT6 BT8 EH6 EH8

Insertion turret



The insertion turret has the dual function of cutting and placing the plastic pellets in the cavities of the molding turret and transferring the finished product onto the exit conveyor belt. The insertion turret is driven by the drive unit through a toothed belt 9 and pulley 1. A torque limiter 2 and encoder 3 are mounted on the drive shaft. The encoder sends information about the machine’s work position to the microprocessor based control system. The mount 4, that sustains the insertion turret, is installed on the machine base. The drive shaft that transmits motion from the pulley 2 to the toothed wheel 5 operates inside the mount. The insertion turret moves in and out of the work position in the molding turret as pneumatic cylinder 6 turns it around the pivot 5. The toothed wheel 5 transmits motion to toothed wheel 7 and pulley 10 through pulley 8 and toothed belt 9. Toothed belt 9 is kept tight by tensioner 11. The cutters 12 cut the plastic material flowing out of the extruder nozzle into pellets and place them in the molding turret cavities through a mechanical/pneumatic action. The finished product is placed on the disk 13, equipped with a vacuum hold down system, and carried to the exit conveyor belt by the stripper wheels 14 and 15.

MACHINE FEATURES Molding unit



The hydraulic actuators and molds are located in the molding unit. They are used to form, cool down and remove the pellets of molten plastic that are sent to them from the insertion turret. The finished product is then placed on the stripper wheel. Motion is transmitted from the drive unit to the molding unit through a pulley 14 and belt 13. The distributor 11 delivers the cooling fluid to the upper and lower tools, oil under pressure to the hydraulic actuators and compressed air to the molds. The hydraulic actuators 8 are mounted on the lower body of the turret 9. A mold 7 (lower) is provided with each of the actuators. The mold receives the pellets that are then formed and cooled down. The actuator 8 is hydraulically driven. The various stages of its movement are piloted by a ball valve 10, that is mounted next to the actuator itself. A duct 12, for the mold’s 7 coolant, passes through the actuator’s rod. The upper molds are mounted on the upper turret body 3. The relative rods 16, that drive the devices used for stripping the product, are mounted on the circumference further inside compared to that of the upper molds. A fork 6, whose task is to act on the stripper, is keyed to the rod. The stripper rods 16 are controlled by a fixed cam 4 that acts on rollers 15 secured to the same rods. In addition, the machine is equipped with a number of pneumatic valves 1 so that the product can be removed by blowing air into the upper molds. These valves send air under pressure to each mold. From the air supply system the compressed air first flows through an accumulator that keeps its pressure constant and then through a ring that directs it to the valves 1. The air then reaches the flow controls found near the molds. The upper molds are cooled down by the coolant that runs through the duct 5. Two drive systems may be performed to remove the product when certain tools (fig. 2.1.1.4/B) are used. The upper mold 2 is driven both by the stripper rod 16 and cam 17 that acts on a wheel found in the middle of the mold. FIGURE 2.1.1.4/A - MOLDING TURRET 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

WARNING!



The control valves are equipped with a ring nut to tighten the threaded control rod only to the value set for the valve. Do not remove the ring nut and fully tighten the control rod to avoid creating dangerously high pressures in the hydraulic system. Always monitor the pressure with the relative pressure gauge while making adjustments/performing maintenance. 7.5.1



ADJUSTING THE APPROACH STAGE (LOW PRESSURE)



The stroke the actuator carries out to reach the punch is approximately 15 mm less than its total stroke and is carried out with oil under low pressure. The time employed to carry out this stroke depends on the speed of the molding turret . As a result, the flow rate of the low pressure circuit is strictly related to the rpm. The position of the flow control valve of this circuit is indicated on the “Data sheet”. If the flow rate is incorrectly set, the products may have defects and the yellow warning light found on the electrical cabinet comes on. A sensor, located near the point where the valve is opened a second time (i.e., oil starts flowing under high pressure), detects the path of the back-plates that stop the actuators from turning. If the sensor detects a number of backplates equal to the total number with a path different from the nominal one consecutively, the machine performs a controlled shutdown procedure as described in chapter 6 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. Adjust the flow rate of the low pressure circuit with flow control 19. Adjust the pressure of the low pressure circuit by working on adjustment valve 6 located. The values are given on the “Data sheet”.



E0004







ATTENTION!



If the delivery rate of oil under low pressure is too high, the machine and molds may be seriously damaged. 7.5.2



ADJUSTING THE MOLDING STAGE (HIGH PRESSURE)



The pressure is regulated by working on valve 13 located in the hydraulic power unit. The value is given on the “Data sheet”. 7.5.3



ADJUSTING THE ACTUATOR DOWNSTROKE



Work on valve 15 located in the hydraulic power unit to adjust the pressure. The value is given on the “Data sheet”.



E0004







ATTENTION!



If the return pressure of the actuator is too high, the piston may violently bang its end-stop.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS



E0004







WARNING!



Only expert personnel who know how the machine and plant in general operate well can carry out maintenance, as indicated in chapter 3 - SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS. Take all the precautionary steps in order to prevent accidental machine start-up. - isolate electrical power with personal devices (for example pad locks) stamped with the name of the operator who put it on; - remove the keys to the locks and personally hold on to them; - post a “maintenance in progress” sign on the electrical cabinet; Always keep in mind the potential risks and follow the safety rules given in chapter 3 - SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS.



E0004







IMPORTANT!



The pressure control valves have a ring nut that allow the threaded rod to be tightened only up to the valve setting. Do not take off the ring nut or fully tighten the rod to avoid creating excessively high pressures in the hydraulic system. Always monitor the pressure with the gauge provided when making adjustments/performing maintenance. The maintenance operations are subdivided as follows: - routine maintenance (to be carried out by the customer’s maintenance staff) - special maintenance (to be carried out by the manufacturer’s properly trained technicians). The following are some examples of routine maintenance: - mechanical jobs: lubricating and cleaning the mechanical parts, replacing and tensioning the belts, replacing and cleaning the hydraulic valves; - electric jobs: replacing the fuses in the electrical cabinet.

WARNING!



Heed to all safety rules and standards - risk of burns and crushing. If one or both of the transducers read a pressure other than zero while the extruder is not working, set them as directed below. The procedure given below also has to be carried out when a new transducer is installed before starting the machine. A - Start the temperature regulator for the extruder and wait until all the work zones reach the work temperature. Under these conditions, the plastic compound in the polymer metering pump station will melt and the transducer’s probe inside the pump can be completely tightened, when a new transducer is installed.



E0004







ATTENTION!



The transducers have to be set while the polymer meter pump station is at the operating temperature. B - Make sure the transducer probes are properly installed and relative cables connected: BP1 (inlet pressure) cable XB98; BP2 (outlet pressure) cable XB99. C - First of all adjust transducer BP1. D - Call up the DATA page on the display. E - Remove the protective screw 1 on the transducer casing and press button 2, located inside with the extruder stopped (this means that pressure does not reached the pump). F - Adjust transducer BP2 repeating the operations given for step E. G - Verify that the pressure values (pump input and output) shown on the display screen read zero.
