3.16 EM4 Vertical Lift Procedures
NOTE
Review the information in “3.13 E-Multi Weight Specifications” on page
3-20 before performing any lifting procedure.
The general procedure for lifting the EM4 unit vertically onto the injection
molding machine is:
1.
Place the EM4 horizontally on the floor from either
a) the shipping crate (see 3.16.1) or
b) a horizontal stand (see 3.16.2)
2. Attach the lifting bar (see 3.16.3)
3. Raise the EM4 to a vertical orientation with either
a) two lifting machines (preferred method) (see 3.16.4)
b) one lifting machine (see 3.16.5)
4. Install the EM4 onto the injection molding machine (see 3.16.6)
3.16.1 Horizontal Placement from the Shipping Crate
1.
Unpack the E-Multi injection unit. See “Preparation” on page 5-1.
2. Connect the slings to the motor end of the support beam using the two
attached shackles. Ensure the slings are on either side of the motor.
3. Connect slings to the barrel end of the support beam using two 25 mm
(1 in.) shackles in the lifting holes.
4. Ensure that the slings are securely attached to the lifting machine. Ensure
the slings are not twisted or kinked.
5. Lift the unit out of the crate slowly.
6. Remove the front shipping bracket.
7.
Place the E-Multi injection unit in a horizontal position on the floor. The
unit should rest on the attached stabilizing legs.
NOTE
Ensure the floor area surrounding the E-Multi unit is large enough to walk
around and move the lifting machines.
8. Install the adapter plate onto the E-Multi injection unit. See “Adapter Plate
Removal and Installation” on page 9-10.
9. Verify that the nozzle does not protrude past the adapter plate. If the
manifold inlet protrudes past the mold ensure the nozzle will not touch
when installed.
10. Remove the slings from the E-Multi injection unit and the lifting machine.
