5.1.4 Attachment points
Attachment points can be placed on the upside or on the side surfaces of the hot runner system or the hot runner compo-
nent. Other possible attachment point positions are:
•
Hot half (see Picture 10):
Upside (position A): used when removing the goods from the transport crate or on transport
Side surface (postions B and C): used on transport and installation
•
Manifold (see Picture 11):
Upside (position A): when removing the goods from the transport crate or on installation
Side surface (position B): used when turning the manifold around
•
L2X-System (see Picture 12):
Upside (position A): used when removing the goods from the transport crate oder on transport
Downside (position D): used on installation
5.1.5 Working load limit for lifting accessories and slings
Before transport the working load limit for the used lifting accessories and slings must be checked in the following order:
1. How heavy is the load?
•
The weight of single components, systems or hot halves is indicated on the EWIKON note of delivery (net weight, without
packaging).
•
If this information is not available anymore the weight can be estimated. However, there should be a sufficient margin up
to the load limit of the lifting accessories and slings. The mass can be determined using the formula m = ρ * V. Use the
density of steel (ρ = 7,85 g/cm
3
) for your calculation. The calculated result automatically includes a sufficient safety mar
-
gin because possibly existing hollow spaces or areas made of lighter materials are calculated using the density of steel.
Calculate the volume of a hot half or a nozzle side with V = L x B x H [cm
3
]. Possibly protruding areas (nozzles, wiring
box) do not have to be taken into consideration. The volume of a manifold (without nozzles) or an L2X system (nozzles
have already been screwed to the manifold) can be approached using the largest external dimensions of the manifold
(L = largest linear expansion, B = largest width expansion, H = thickness of manifold).
2. Identify attachment points
•
Where are the attachment points positioned (transport threads)?
•
How many attachment points are available for specific transport situations?
•
What are the thread sizes of the transport threads?
