11.8 Home Position Calibration
NOTE
Calibrate the carriage home position when you install the E-Multi for the first
time and when you use the E-Multi with a newly installed mold. Mold must
be closed and clamped and barrel must be at operating temperature before
calibrating the home position.
Set up the controller before you use the E-Multi Radial.
1. Make sure that the E-Multi is in Setup mode and the servo motors are
turned on [
F10
].
2. Open the Carriage screen. See E-Multi Controller User Manual for more
detailed instructions.
3.
Push the calibrate button. See the “Carriage calibration settings” in
E-Multi Controller User Manual.
The carriage touches the mold with a known force and sets the mold touch
position to the 0.0 mm in the setup profile screen. The carriage then moves to
10 mm (0.4 in.) position. At this position the E-Multi is ready to be switched to
Auto mode.
NOTE
You may see a deflection of the E-Multi Radial system when the nozzle
contact force is applied. This deflection is normal and expected.
11.9 Auto Purge
WARNING
Use protective clothing, goggles and gloves.
Ensure that the protective guards are placed around the nozzle to prevent
the molten plastic from splashing or drooling.
Material purged from the machine will be extremely hot.
The Auto Purge screen is used to adjust the settings and perform the Auto
Purge. Push the [
Start
] and [
Stop
] buttons. Refer E-Multi Controller User
Manual for the operation.
