11.6 E-Multi Radial Installation (EM1 and EM2
Models)
WARNING
It is the responsibility of the integrator to understand and follow international
and local standards for safety of machinery when integrating the E-Multi
Radial system into the molding system. This includes providing necessary
e-stop connections, safety interlocks and guarding modifications to protect
operators.
Ensure E-Multi Radial placement will not interfere with electrical cables
on top of the mold or injection molding machine movement. Check that all
coolant, hydraulic and air lines as well as electrical cables will not interfere
with the moving parts of the mold, machine or robot. The lines must be of
sufficient length so that they will not strain or pinch when the mold halves
separate.
When installing, check the E-Multi highest position does not interfere with
other moving equipment in the molding area (robots, cranes, etc.).
The E-Multi Radial has a high center of gravity which can shift during
installation. Read all instructions prior to starting the installation procedure.
The center of gravity will move forward as the vertical beam is rotated,
and the lifting point must be moved forward to remain above the center of
gravity. However if the lifting point is moved too much the crate and E-Multi
Radial can slide or lift off the floor.
WARNING - LOCKOUT
Ensure that all energies are properly locked out in the controller and
injection molding machine before installation of the E-Multi injection unit into
the system.
WARNING - LIFT POINTS
When doing any work on the machine that requires moving and lifting
the machine, connect all lifting devices and support the machine using a
crane of adequate capacity before commencing work. Failure to support
the machine can result in severe injury or death. See “E-Multi Weight
NOTE
Please reference the installation drawing supplied with the unit for complete
