Symptoms
The injection molding machine reports a melt quality alarm. The melt shows signs of incomplete plasticization.
Possible Causes
- Barrel temperature too low for the material
- Screw speed too low for adequate mixing
- Residence time too short for full melting
Troubleshooting Steps
- Step 1: Verify all barrel zone temperatures are at setpoint
Temperatures match the material spec - Step 2: Adjust the screw speed for adequate mixing
Screw speed provides uniform melt - Step 3: Increase the residence time if needed
Melt is fully plasticized and uniform
How to Reset
To reset: Resolve the melt quality issue, then clear the alarm.
