Injection molder - lubricate clamp system
- Ensure there are no obstructions inside the chamber - should just be a couple aluminum blocks.
- Identify the "PUSH TO CLAMP" knob on the bottom left of the machine, and the locking lever underneath it
- Slide the lock lever to the right, then push the knob in to initiate clamping. Make a note of any jittering/seizing in the clamp mechanism.
- Pull the knob out to return the clamp to the rest position.
If there was jittering/seizing when clamping, apply a light amount of spindle to the three ports - one at the base of the middle bar, and one on either side of the drum towards the rear of the clamping assembly. Then repeat steps 1-4 several times to work the oil into the system.
