Installation
5.2 General safety instructions
DANGER!
Installation with activated voltage supply
Risk of death by electric shock and severe injuries caused by live components.
•
HPS III hot runner system, single tip nozzle, hot half and injection mould must be disconnected from the
voltage source during installation.
WARNING!
PPE
Sharp edges and heavy components
•
Cut injuries to body and extremities, mainly to the hands.
•
Crushing of fingers or hand.
Hot surfaces
Body burns by hot surfaces.
Check of live components before installation
The electrical equipment of the hot runner system should be checked, especially those
areas which will no longer be accessible after installation. Physical injuries such as an
electric shock can be prevented that way.
Please check
•
if cables are kinked or squeezed
•
if cable insulations are undamaged.
Pressurized systems
All hydraulic or pneumatic supply lines must be depressurised during installation.
•
Injuries caused by flying parts or "whipping" hoses.
•
Injuries to eyes caused by escaping pressurised liquids.
NOTE!
Pay attention to system characteristics
The work steps described just show how to move the system most commonly. Depending on the system layout
further measures which have to be determined individually may be necessary to move and assemble hot runner
assemblies in a safe way. The chapters „5.1.2 Recommended lifting accessories and slings“ and „5.1.5 Working
load limit for lifting accessories and slings“ must be paid attention to.
•
Particularly for L2X drop-in systems many system versions are possible. When any transport or assembly
work is carried out it has to be ensured that protruding components (e.g. nozzles, heater outlets or wiring) as
well as components with reduced stability (e.g. wiring channels, connection boxes or connection blocks for
supply lines) are not damaged. It may be necessary to use additional lifting accessories and slings as well
as specific substructures to support the hot runner assembly.
•
A second crane may be necessary to turn the hot runner system completely to avoid accidents and damage
to components.
