9.14 Adapter Plate Removal and Installation
NOTE
Adapter plates are specific for each E-Multi injection unit and mold pair.
Adapter plates may not be as shown.
1. Purge the system of plastic and cooling water.
2. Place the E-Multi injection unit, in horizontal position, onto a work bench
or machine maintenance stand capable of supporting the full machine
load.
NOTE
For servo carriage systems, move the carriage so the nozzle tip is flush
with the face of the adapter plate if possible.
3. Remove adapter plate screws and lift adapter plate away. On models with
adapter blocks, take care not to drop the blocks. Long screws with the
heads removed may be used to support the adapter blocks and adapter
plate when removing screws.
