    Re: Press keeps losing memory

    Never had a Milacron to play with. However I have had a few other machines that when the backup battery dies and the machine is turned off for a bit they lose their memory. Some completely lose all...
  2. Re: Which manufacture has the best after sales support in your experience?

    I have had pretty good luck with Arburg service and I like their machines. Sumitomo makes a good machine, but I have had some problems with their service however. Engel's service is a little spotty...

    Re: cashew gate in pc/abs?

    I have run some with PC/ABS. It was a touchy process and once it was running you didn't want to stop it.
  4. Re: Three resin lots required for part qualification

    I have never had to run three lots of resin, but I am guessing it is to prove the process is stable with changing lots of material. If it isn't something that is a super critical part I would just...

    Re: Designing a low energy plastic "chopper"

    Robert,

    I am not dismissing you from the group, I just said I can not help you. I am not the whole group. What I am saying is I can not help you anymore as I don't know of a single molding machine...

    Re: Designing a low energy plastic "chopper"

    Re: Designing a low energy plastic "chopper"

    Robert,

    There might be some very large tonnage machines that can possibly "handle" it, but nothing that I know of that was designed to take something like that. May I pose this a different way....
  12. Re: Electrical fault: Cycle stops midway through

    I am not familiar with that machine, but you said you tested the microswitches and they work, but did you test to make sure they are being tripped when the nozzle is all the way forward? I would take...

    Re: Designing a low energy plastic "chopper"

    Robert, what I was meaning is exactly what Platt1990 mentioned. It could get hung up in the feed throat of the machine and the issues with the screw as well as there is a finite amount of space...

    Re: Overmold Possibility

    Unless you did it as a two shot process or secondary process to cover it you will have to have some metal showing. Something needs to hold the metal plate in place in the mold if not it would float...
