IMPORTANT
For an EM3, do not move the nozzle back too far. The adjuster screw may
fall out of the linkage. This will not damage the system but it is difficult to
reinsert the screw. Visually note the position of the adjuster screw in the
linkage.
This procedure is used to correctly adjust the carriage linkage for optimum
nozzle contact force.
1. Loosen the carriage adjuster clamping screw.
2. Put the controller in Setup mode.
3. Use the adjuster screw to move the nozzle back as shown below. The
nozzle should be screwed far enough back to not touch the mold when
moving the carriage forward.
4. Use the [
F4]
button to move the carriage forward until the clevis link
touches the stop pin as shown below. On EM1 models with an updated
support beam a 10mm window next to the stop pin allows viewing the
clevis link. When the window view is filled by the link, it is touching the
stop pin. If the nozzle touches the mold before the clevis link touches the
stop pin, move the carriage back using the [
F3
] button and return to step
3.
