When I pulled the cover off the...

I haven't removed the cover but I did see that box was leaking oil!
Contact cleaner or replacement??

I pulled the tank cover. I do not see any aeration when the press is operating.
We drained the tank. Suction filters are clean. The butterfly valves are not broken & operate as they should.
We...

Press idles quietly but makes a ton of noise on any movement.
Oil is good quality, clean.
Changed both pumps variable volume & the vane pump.
Found the vane pump really scored up.
Still the same...

Thanks Bryan.
Turns out the limit switch on the top of the clamp end had come loose from its bracket & was not getting the signal the line had pressurized.
Turned on the pump & cycled the switch a...

I have a 2001 Powerline 330 that has locked itself out with an auto lube failure.
The reservoir has grease, the system is pressurized at 20 psi & the limit switch on the clamp side is working [light...

I'm not an electrician but I am on a 208 3Y service.
My 220V presses run on 208 without issues. Less than a 10% differential.
My 240V presses required a "buck & boost" transformer because it...

Maybe for some of the old colors & from the larger manufacturers.
Most come from a small local supplier that does not provide them.

On Saturday we went through & organized our "color room". In the 1990's we went to exclusively color concentrates.
Since then we have collected " a ton" of obsolete colorants, not to mention the dry...

I disagree with processchris. We run AL molds all the time with none of the sub components mentioned. ABS, Nylon even Acetal run with no issues. Support pillars [because they're off the shelf &...

Hi. New guy here.
We run all aluminum molds all the time. 75 to 500 ton 1 to 24 cavities.

OK. On the advice of a machine tech friend I put a jumper from wire 69 to 101 on the terminal strip.
Bingo .... I'm able to clear the alarm & the machine functions normally.
That bypasses R 100 a...
