Injection Molding Machine`s Error

Codes and Troubleshooting Solutions
As a plastic injection molding machine`s operator. We will see the Injection Molding
Machine Error Codes more or less for long time operation. Below we have collected
the most seen error codes and troubleshooting solutions for main injection molding
machines controllers. We just hope the below information is helpful to improve your
daily operations during plastic injection molding.

Treatment of common faults of injection molding machine:

1 . T h e o i l p u m p m o to r a n d o i l p u m p s t a r t , b u t n o p r e s s u r e .

A). The proportional valve wiring on the oil pump is loose or the coil is burned out
——> Check whether the proportional pressure valve is energized.

B). Impurities block the oil port of the proportional pressure valve on the oil pump
——> Remove the proportional pressure valve to remove the impurities.

C). The pressure oil is not clean, and the debris accumulates on the surface of the oil
filter, preventing the pressure oil from entering the pump – clean the oil filter and
replace the pressure device.

D). Oil leaks inside the oil pump, which is caused by excessive use, internal wear or

unclean pressure oil -> Repair or replace the oil pump.

E). Oil leakage from the oil pump, oil pipes and joints ——> Eliminate the leakage.

F). The oil system is stuck ——> Check whether the oil system spool moves normally.

2 . T h e te m p e r a t u r e o f t h e m e l t c y l i n d e r c a n n o t b e co n t r o l l e d

A). The temperature cannot be controlled, check whether the contacts of the electric
heating contactor are stuck, and whether the wires of the thermocouple are loose or
damaged.

B). If the temperature cannot rise, check whether the electric heating air switch in the
electric box is adjusted, whether the contactor and relay are closed, whether there is
voltage, whether the insurance is burned out, and whether the heating ring is burned
out.

C). Whether the thermometer is damaged.

3. No mode locking

A). Whether the front safety door has been closed, whether the limiter of the safety
door has been pressed and released by the safety door, and whether the wiring is
loose or damaged.

B). The coil of the clamping solenoid may have moved into the valve, stuck with the
spool –> Clean or replace the clamping and opening control valve.

C). The directional valve may not reset -> Clean the directional valve.

D). The thimble cannot be returned to reset ——> Check whether the thimble moves
normally.

E). Check whether the origin of the computer controller for mold clamping and mold
opening electronic ruler has been changed, and whether the mold clamping position
has been terminated.

F). Check whether the pressure gauge operates.

G). Press the mode-locking key to see if the display screen shows the mode-locking
signal or other signals and alarms.

H). Check whether the clamping position, speed and pressure are properly adjusted.

I ). Check whether the clamping piston rod is broken.

4 . N o p l a s t i c w a s i n j e c te d o r p l a s t i c s w a s n o t s h o t o u t o f b a r r e l

A). The coil of the injection solenoid may be burnt, or foreign objects enter the
directional valve and move with the spool stuck –> Clean or replace the injection
valve.

B). The pressure is too low ——> increase the injection pressure.

C). The temperature of injection molding is too low – adjust the thermometer to raise
the temperature to the required point. If the temperature cannot be raised by
adjusting the thermometer, check whether the electric heating tube and fuse are
burnt or loose. Replace in time. 4. The connection of the valve opening system of the
injection combination is loose or has poor contact ——> Connect the combination
switch wire properly.

5 . T h e s c r e w r o t a te s , b u t t h e m e l t p l a s t i c s d o e s n o t e n te r t h e b a r r e l

A). Sol back pressure is too high, the back pressure valve is damaged or improperly
adjusted ——> Adjust or replace the sol back pressure valve.

B). Insufficient water transport, so that the temperature is too high, so that the glue
particles are blocked when entering the screw ——> Adjust the water transport
amount, and take out the glued glue block. See if the water ring is blocked or the
water is not cooled.

C). There is no material in the drop bucket ——> Add material.

D). Whether the temperature of the melt barrel is too high.

6 . T h e l a u n c h e r d o e s n o t m ove

A). The moving limit travel switch of the shooting platform is pressed by the
adjustment striker ——> Adjust.

B). The coil of the solenoid valve for the moving platform may be burnt or foreign
objects enter the directional valve and the valve core moves –> Clean or replace the
solenoid valve.

C). Check the forward speed of the shooting platform and whether the pressure is
properly adjusted.

D). Check whether the 1/0 board and the output voltage (DC+24V) of the directional
valve are normal. If not, check whether the corresponding output transistor or relay is
damaged.

E). Press the radio button to check whether the computer screen displays the pre-
launch signal, or other signals and alarms.

F). Check whether the pressure gauge has movement.

7. Mould opening makes a sound

A). There is no brake or brake failure of the mold opening stroke switch ——> Adjust
or replace the solenoid valve.

B). The fixing screw of the slow speed solenoid valve is loosened, or the valve core is
stuck ——> Adjust to a significantly slow speed.

8 . P r e s s u r e o i l t e m p e r a t u r e i s to o h i g h

A). The pressure of the oil pump is too high ——> It should be adjusted to the
demand pressure of the rubber compound.

B). The oil pump is damaged and the pressure oil concentration is too low ——> Check
the oil pump and oil quality.

C). Insufficient amount of pressure oil ——> Increase the amount of pressure oil.

D). The cooling system is faulty and the water supply is insufficient ——> Repair the

cooling system.

9 . Au to m a t i c a c t i o n f a i l u r e

A). The electric eye is out of order, the fixing screw is loose or the light is not
condensed. ——> Make the electronic sensor work again.

B). The time system is out of order or damaged ——> Adjust or replace the time
system.

C). The heating element is damaged ——> replace it.

D). Poor or damaged thermocouple wiring ——> Tighten or replace.

E). Thermometer damaged ——> replace the thermometer

F). Semi-automatic failure: The semi-automatic cycle is realized by the stroke of the
mechanical action, triggering the switch system and time system of each electrical
appliance, sending electrical signals, and controlling the oil system. If it is in the
manual state, every action is normal, but semi-automatic If it fails, most of it is
because the electrical switch and time switch do not send a signal. First, observe the
failure of the semi-automatic action at that stage, and find out the corresponding
control element according to the “action cycle diagram”, and check and solve it.
