Symptoms
The injection molding machine reports insufficient clamping force. The clamp force is below the minimum required for the mold.
Possible Causes
- Hydraulic pressure insufficient for full clamp
- Mold height setting incorrect
- Toggle mechanism wear reducing force transfer
Troubleshooting Steps
- Step 1: Verify the hydraulic pressure for the clamp
Pressure meets the clamp requirement - Step 2: Check the mold height setting
Setting matches the mold dimension - Step 3: Inspect the toggle linkage for wear
Linkage transfers full clamp force
How to Reset
To reset: Restore adequate clamping force, then clear the alarm.
