Step 3 - Set the table start position. 450mm is the lower position. 10mm is the highest position. Conditions
apply to value setting which depend on the mould height and heater clearances. Details below:
• Settings are adjusted in table settings screen when cycle is stopped.
• Table height setting distances are measured from the underside of the aperture where material is
clamped to the table bolster top. All values in (mm).
• Condition 1. The Mould tool height value is a mandatory setting.
• Condition 2. The Mould height setting must be less than the Table Height setting to maintain the
mould below the aperture level.
• Condition 3. If Heater security function is turned OFF to allow the table to rise before the top
heater retracts, the Mould height must be less than 100mm.
• Condition 4. The Bottom heater may only be used when the Mould height is less than 150mm and
the table height setting must be greater than 300mm plus the mould height. Values outside these
limits will disable the bottom heater function
