Manual Mold Installation on JY350-ST

This is instructions for running a manual mold 2 & 3 piece mold on the JY-360-ST.

The plates below can accept 5x5" and 5x6" molds.

Install the mold adapter places by:

  • Examine the mold that there is no damage to the internal cavities of the mold.  If there is any confusion make sure to elevate it to management to look at. We do not want to shoot a mold that is going to produce bad parts.
  • On the JY350-ST install the upper plate using low profile bolts and bottom plates as shown below. Screw in the upper plate to the upper platen. Do not screw down the bottom plate. Let it float.

Bottom Plate

  • On top of the bottom plate screw in the Manual Mold Alignment Plate shown below.

Manual Mold Alignment Plate

  • Once the bottom plate and manual mold alignment plates are attached to each other, place the manual mold into the mold alignment plate as you would on a manual machine. Push it to the back left corner.
  • Install a 1/8 stick in the nozzle. Carefully close the upper platen while lining up the mold such that the sprue hole is aligned with the injector.
  • Remove the stick from the injector nozzle.
  • Lower the upper platen down to the mold top. 
  • Using clamps secure the lower plate and mold alignment plate so they are attached to the lower platen.
  • Clean off the injector nozzle and lower it to the top of the mold.
  • On the "Mold Open/Close" page check the level at which the upper platon is and set the LOWP-Place to that value plus 0.2. In the picture below it shows a large number in the upper right (the mold is not closed here, it is open, but if it was closed it would be what you are seeing).
  • Done

NOTE: In all of the mold listings there will be a configuration for the MOLD Open/Close Set page.  Always check that the mold closed is correct.  That is, install the mold and close the mold.  The value in the LOWP/Place cell should be .1 above where the mold position indicates (in the upper right where it says MoveMould). This is important because this is where the clamping pressure increases. If it is set too high the mold will switch to a higher pressure to close the mold early and smash it.  If it is set too low, it will never enter the high pressure clamping mode and you will see flashing.
