climbing aid. Keep the machine operating-area free of any dirt,
granulate and cleaning agents.
Before carrying out any maintenance or repair work, clean the
machine, in particular connection terminals and threaded connections, so that they are free of oil, fuel or cleaning agents. Do not
use aggressive detergents. Use lint-free cleaning cloths only.
After cleaning, examine all hydraulic hoses and pipes for leaks,
loose connections, chafe-marks and damage. Rectify any faults
immediately.
Always tighten any screwed connections that have been loosened
during maintenance and repair to the required torque.
If safety devices need to be removed for set-up, maintenance or
repair purposes, they must be refitted and checked immediately
upon completion of the maintenance and repair work.
Ensure that all replaced parts and materials are disposed of safely
and with the minimum of environmental impact. Observe the
instructions of the material manufacturer.
On the electric machine ALLDRIVE the locking switch on the safety
door can be mechanically deactivated (see chapter 8.6 in the
ALLDRIVE operating manual).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warnings of particular sources

of danger electrical energy
Use only original fuses with the specified current rating. Switch off
the machine immediately if trouble occurs in the electrical supply
system.
When inspection, maintenance, and repair work is being carried
out on the control cabinet or other live parts, the machine parts
must be de-energized, if specified. Before starting any work check
these parts for the presence of power and ground or short circuit
them in addition to insulating adjacent live parts and elements.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
The electrical equipment of the machine is to be inspected and

checked regularly. Defects such as loose connections or scorched
wires must be replaced immediately.
In the vicinity of the control cabinets for frequency converters (on
machines with electric drives), electro-magnetic fields can be
generated in a range of up to approx. 30 cm from the control
cabinet surface. These electro-magnetic fields may slightly
exceed the limit values specified in the DIN VDE 0848 (1995-07)
regulations for exposure range 2 and may be hazardous for
persons carrying implanted electronic health-supportive
equipment.
Gas, dust, steam and smoke
Before carrying out welding, flame cutting and grinding work, clean
the machine and its surroundings so that it is free of dust,
granulate, oil and other flammable materials. Cover the hoses and
provide adequate ventilation (risk of fire or explosion).
When processing different types of plastic materials, gases can be
emitted that may be aggressive and/or detrimental to health.
Ensure that adequate ventilation and exhaustion is provided. Do
not simply let gases escape into the atmosphere. They must be
collected and neutralised.
Suitable fire-extinguishing facilities, in particular for the types of
materials being processed on the machine, as well as personal
protective equipment to protect against possible gas formation,
must be made readily available.
..\ALLG\EN00_CB_00_306_001.FM 01 2004.12.03
Hydraulic and pneumatic

equipment
Work on hydraulic equipment must only be carried out by persons

with specialized knowledge and experience of hydraulic systems.
Check all cables, pipes, hoses and screwed connections regularly
for leaks and visible damage. Repair any damage immediately.
Depressurize all system sections and pressure pipes (pressure
accumulator, hydraulics, compressed air) in accordance with the
specific instructions for these assembly groups, before carrying
out any repair work involving them.
Adhere to the inspection and maintenance schedules of the
hydraulic bladder-type accumulator. Observe the separate instructions of the manufacturer.
Hydraulic and pneumatic hoses must be laid and fitted correctly.
Do not interchange the connections. The fittings, lengths and
quality of the hoses must comply with the technical specifications.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Oil, grease, plastics and other

chemical substances
Observe the product-related safety regulations when handling oil,

grease, plastic and other chemical substances.
Extreme care must be taken when handling hot operating materials
and processing aids, in particular hot plastic materials (danger of
burning or scalding)!
Appoint a person with the relevant specialized knowledge to assist

in lifting operations.
Lift machines properly with lifting gear in accordance with the
instructions in the operating manual (observe fixing points for lifting
gear etc.)
Use only suitable means of transport of adequate load capacity.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Use only appropriate lifting gear and load-bearing equipment of

adequate capacity during transport and loading operations.
Fasten the load safely using suitable fixing points.

Before loading, apply devices provided for securing machine and
injection unit against unintentional position change. Attach appropriate warning signs.
Carefully refit and fasten all parts which have been removed for
transport purposes before re-commissioning the machine.
Cut off the external power supply even if only minor changes in
location are carried out. Reconnect the machine to the mains
supply properly before recommissioning.
When recommissioning, proceed only in accordance with the
operating instructions.

As a protection against possible dangers during conversion, maintenance or repair work the machine operator must wear personal
protective equipment. If required by the production procedure this
protective equipment must also be worn during machine operation.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
The following personal protective equipment is stipulated:

Heat-resistant protective gloves, acc. to DIN EN 420/EN 407
For all work with hot objects such as the plasticizing cylinder, screw
and nozzle.
Eye protection / face mask according to DIN EN 166
For all work on the heated plasticizing unit and work that presents a
risk for eyes and face.

Water quality
Your injection moulding machine is equipped with high-quality aggregates and components which become hot during operation and must
therefore be cooled.
In order to ensure a problem-free operation, the quality of the water
must fulfil the following requirements:

The cooling water must be free from contaminations such as floating

or sinking particles or algae.
Using cooling water which does not fulfil the above criteria, can lead
to malfunctions and damage (e.g. corrosion, lime formation). In this
case we cannot accept any obligation of warranty.
If in doubt, have your water analysed or consult a firm specialised in
circulating cooling systems.
IMPORTANT
..\TECH-DAT\C-ALLG\DE01AF_05_307_003.FM 01 2005.04.04
Inspect the flow volume and return temperatures of your cooling

water at regular intervals. Significant changes usually point to a
narrowing of the cross-section of the cooling circuits. We
recommend decalcifying the cooling circuits from time to time.
Use a commercially available decalcifier for this purpose.
Cooling water additives such as anti-frost, anti-alga, decalcifiers
etc. must not contain substances which react with the plastic
fittings or with copper and aluminium elements. Appropriate
cautionary measures to protect the environment are also to be
taken.

BAM_207185_000_EN_10
The compressed air which is fed to the maintenance unit must be free
of oil and contaminations. Any condensation is collected in the water
separator on the maintenance unit. The condensation must be
discharged via the outlet cock before the maximum level is reached.
Connect a compressed air supply line DN 9 to the pneumatic

maintenance unit.
Check that the output pressure complies with the value stipulated
on the designation label near the maintenance unit and adjust it if
necessary, proceeding as described in chapter 9.8.9.
IMPORTANT
The pneumatic system must only be operated via the pneumatic

Noise emission
1.1.11 Noise emission

General information
The ALLROUNDER CENTEX machines have been constructed and

manufactured using state-of-the-art technology.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Noise emission (airborne sound) has been reduced to a minimum due

to the usage of low noise drive components. Dampening elements on
the machine base and in the hydraulic system as well as guide and
roller bearing technology on the moving parts of the machine, cater for
noise reduction.
The noise level may vary slightly depending the machine set-up and
other factors which cannot be influenced. For this reason, a permissible range has been specified.
The noise emission measurements were undertaken in accordance
with DIN EN ISO 3744 and DIN EN SIO 3746. Measurements before
the year 2003 were carried out in accordance with DIN 45636 part 1
and 37. The measurements were undertaken on identical machines..

The noise emission level may increase considerably if machine

components become defective or worn.
Correct the defects immediately by replacing the parts in
question.
Avoid machine adjustments which generate an increased noise
emission level (e.g. hard closing movements).
Precautionary measures to prevent hearing damage should
also be undertaken.

Inspecting the hoses
1.2.5
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Hydraulic hoses
All hoses on your injection moulding machine are to be inspected at

least once every three months with regard to their operating condition.
This inspection must be undertaken by an expert.
An expert is someone qualified with an appropriate specialized
training and experience in the field of hydraulic hoses. He should be
totally familiar with all state-prescribed regulations of safety and
accident prevention as well as with all guidelines and generally recognized rules applying to this technology, so that he is in a position to
judge the safe working condition of the hydraulic hoses.
Possible defects
The following examples illustrate the most important defects which

require an immediate replacement of the hoses.
The outer layer of the hose is damaged up to the lining (chafed
sections, cuts or cracks).
The outer layer is brittle (cracks in the hose material).
The hose is deformed or deforms in a pressurized or pressureless
state or when bent, e.g. layer separation, formation of blisters,
pinched or crimped.
The hose leaks.
The hose drifts out of its fitting.
..\TECH-DAT\ALLG\EN01BE_00_306_001.FM 01 2005.05.09
( GA1052ZA )
The fitting is damaged or deformed (stability of the fitting or the

connection of the hose/fitting is impaired).
The fitting is corroded and the function and stability impaired.
The duration of use is slightly exceeded (see date of manufacture
on the hose fitting).

Water hoses
In the same way as the hydraulic hoses, the water hoses on the
injection moulding machine must also be inspected regularly (at least
once every three months). As some water hoses can convey very hot
water, there is a considerable danger of scalding injuries being
suffered by operating personnel if the hoses are in any way damaged
or incorrectly connected.
Possible defects
The following examples show the most common defects which can
make it urgently necessary to replace the water hoses or the
connection fixtures.
The outer layer is damaged (chafe markes, cuts or cracks).
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
By regularly inspecting your water hoses you can help to prevent

potential dangers and leakages and their consequences.
The hose is deformed or has kinks.

The hose is not water tight.
The seat on the connection fitting is defective.
The connection fixture is damaged.
Water hoses must be inspected at least every three months. This

can prevent scalding injuries and flooding resulting from defective
hoses and fittings.

Replacement of parts after natural ageing
1.2.6
Hydraulic hoses
Hydraulic hoses are subject to a natural ageing process. This limits

the duration of usage. The user of the injection moulding machine is
responsible for ensuring that the hoses are replaced within the
prescribed time period, even if there is no indication of a technical
defect or malfunction.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
The duration of use should not exceed 6 years from the date of
manufacture.
Replacing the hoses
The following is to be observed when replacing the hoses:

Use only original spare parts. This ensures that the hoses are
adequately rated for the required loads and the lengths and the
fittings are correct.
Install in the original position of installation and do not change the
access positions or bend angles.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Hoses must not come in contact with substances which could lead
to hose damage, e.g. acids, alkaline solutions, solvents.
Do not use illumination elements which form ozone or devices
which create sparks in the immediate area.
Avoid re-using the hoses. The initial use of the hose may have
changed the characteristics in such a way as to present an
increased risk if re-used.
..\TECH-DAT\ALLG\EN01BF_00_306_002.FM 01 2006.04.25
Water hoses
Due to their natural ageing and thermal stress, water hoses are
subject to a certain level of material fatigue. In order to guarantee safe
and problem-free operation of your injection moulding machine, we
recommend replacing all water hoses at the latest every three years or
at the first signs of damage in any individual hoses.
Use only water hoses and fittings which are rated to withstand the
required loads (thermal and pressure). This is guaranteed with original
spare parts.

Inspecting the viewing panels
1.2.9
Viewing panels
The safety guards on your machine are sometimes equipped with

viewing panels which enable the machine movements to be observed.
Due to external influences such as heat, vapours or unsuitable
cleaning detergents, these viewing panels can in time lose some of
their shock resistance and become brittle (ageing process).
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
The ageing process of the viewing panels can occur sooner or later,
depending on the intensity and concentration of the detrimental influences.
If it is already known before the machine leaves the factory that

increased heat or vapours are likely to occur (e.g. if duromer,
elastomer, or liquid silicone are to be processed on this machine)
viewing panels of polycarbonate (PC) are installed. These viewing
panels are extremely resistant to shock and breakage.
Furthermore, all ALLROUNDERs on which it is possible to work with
the injection unit in a position which faces the viewing panel are also
equipped with viewing panels of polycarbonate.
If a machine is later retrofitted to a production method which affects
the viewing panels, the standard viewing panels of Plexiglas are to be
replaced with ones of polycarbonate.
In order to guarantee the protective characteristics of the viewing

panels, they must undergo regular inspections.
Possible faults
The following examples show the most common faults which can
make an immediate replacement necessary:
plastic deformation (buckling or dents),
..\TECH-DAT\ALLG\EN01BI_00_306_000.FM 01 2004.02.06
cracks,
cloudiness
IMPORTANT
Never clean the viewing panels with alcohol or detergents

containing solvents.
Use commercially available window cleaning products
-1-
1.2.9
Replacing the viewing panels
In order to ensure their protective function, we recommend renewing

the polycarbonate viewing panels every 6 years. This applies even if
no apparent faults are visible on the viewing panels.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Viewing panels of polycarbonate are to be renewed at the latest

every 6 years. When converting production to duromer, elastomer
or liquid silicone processing, viewing panels of polycarbonate are
to be installed.
Viewing panels of polycarbonate must also be used when the
injection unit is operated in a position facing the viewing panels.
When working with hot plastic melt, combustion can occur which
can cause serious burns!
Removing the viewing panel
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
No changes are visible e.g. when the viewing panels become brittle.
The viewing panels are attached on the inside of the safety gate and
secured by profiled rails. A strip of neoprene between the rail and
viewing panel serves as a cushioning element.
Remove the attachment screws from the profiled rail.
Remove the profiled rail complete with strip of neoprene.
Now you can remove the viewing panel.
Remove the protective foil from the viewing panel.
Insert the new viewing panel in the safety gate.
Ensure that the viewing panel contacts the protective panel evenly
all round.
Attach the profiled rail with neoprene strip and tighten the screws.
Use only viewing panels of the specified quality and thickness. This
is always guaranteed with original spare parts.

Modular structure of the SELOGICA controller
1.3
General information on the SELOGICA

controller
1.3.1
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Optimal process guidance with regard to high quality of the injection

moulded parts and economical production require a variety of
function and set-up parameters. The SELOGICA controller on
ARBURG ALLROUNDER machines makes all this available.
One of the outstanding features of the SELOGICA 32 bit multiprocessor controller is the fact that it makes complex machine
technology very simple and reliable to operate.
This goal is achieved by:
Logical,
selective user guidance
In the individual parameter panels only those parameters are

displayed that are actually required, depending on the machine
equipment, the mould and order data and the cycle sequence. This
guarantees the greatest possible transparency.
Plausibility check
The SELOGICA controller checks whether the inputs made by the

user are plausible. Thus wrong inputs are ruled out.
Graphical sequence
programming of the
SELOGICA controller
The machine cycle is graphically programmed using symbols.

Each machine function to be carried out, in particular simultaneous
machine sequences, can be recognized at one glance.
\\STRG-SW\S-SW306X\01CA_00_306_000.FM 01 2004.02.09
Parameter panels can be selected direct from the sequence

programming and the respective data input.
Quality assurance
Extensive possible quality control programmes and optional

graphical evaluations ensure the specified quality directly during
production.
Modular design
Due to the modular structure of the software and corresponding

hardware, your ALLROUNDER can be upgraded at any time with
special applications such as core pull control, intrusion or
programmable outputs etc. and can thus be adapted to your
requirements without any problems.
Integration abilities
Temperature control devices, dryers, robotic handling devices etc.

can be integrated in the SELOGICA controller at any time.

1.3.2
Software packages
The function scope of the basic standard version of the SELOGICA
controller can be considerably increased by optional modules
(software packages).
Each software package consists of a multitude of individual functions
which are combined under the general term of package 1, package 2
and package 3.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
The individual packages can be combined with each other, depending

on the machine equipment. This provides many possibilities of
gearing the controller to individual requirements.
Package 1 (extended monitoring functions)

Mould position monitoring:
All processes in the sequence editor, for which the position of the
mould is to be monitored, can be individually marked by the
operator.
The traditional ejector platen protection is included as standard
equipment.
IMPORTANT
Without package 1 the mould position monitoring is predefined

and cannot be switched off.
\\STRG-SW\S-SW306X\EN01CB_00_306_000.FM 01 2004.02.09
If you want to work without mould position monitoring you must

use the short-circuit plug S141.
Stroke monitoring with simultaneous movements (only in
connection with package 2):
This function monitors whether core pulls, which are moved simultaneously with mould, ejector or injection movements, have
reached their end position before the reference axis reaches a predefined stroke position.
Injection pressure monitoring
The input maximum pressures for each stage are monitored during
injection. If the maximum pressure is reached, several follow-on
reactions are possible: the machine either switches off immediately
or switch-over from injection pressure to holding pressure is
immediately carried out and the machine switches off at the end of
the cycle, or immediate switch-over to holding pressure is undertaken and the error evaluation rejects the part.
Monitoring functions in Set-up operating mode:
In set-up operation the monitoring functions for each individual
axis (e.g. clamping unit, ejector, core pull) can be deactivated by
the operator.
-1-
1.3.2
Software packages
Package 2 (additional movements)

Ejector:
Intermediate stop during ejector advancement and retraction,
multiple short strokes (shaking) at intermediate stop position.
Extended clamping program (as from T2: controlled):

Up to two clamping forces for injection, holding pressure and
cooling. Second high-pressure build-up (e.g. after core pull
insertion in closed mould with low clamping force). Programmable
enable force (the high-pressure pump takes over the clamping
function before it ends at a programmable force threshold). The
main pump is thus free and the follow-on process can start earlier.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Core pull (for existing core pulls):

Intermediate stop during insertion and retraction, core pull short
strokes (shaking), extended holding pressure program (T2).
Extended sequence editor:

Moving the logical AND conditions, switching over processes to
another drive (pump, accumulator). Creating an individual drycycle sequence by marking certain processes which are not to be
carried out in dry-cycle operation. Switching off processes
during the fully automatic production cycle. Programming strokedependent start conditions for simultaneous movements.
-2-
1.3.2
Software packages
Package 3 (production control):
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
This package makes it possible to switch the machine on and off

independently in order to carry out temperature reduction and preheating as well as to carry out start-up and shut-down cycles at the
beginning/end of automatic production.
Automatic nominal temperature value control:
Display of all heating, cooling and temperature control systems
currently active on the machine, including the interface devices,
such as temperature control devices and THERMOLIFT. Display of
the current nominal temperature value level (nominal value, enable
temperature, reduced temperature, off) for each operating status
(manual, preparation, stand-by) and each unit.
Programmable alarm cycle:
For the last cycle before switch-down of the machine, processes
after end of cooling time can be marked for switch-off.
Start-up cycles:
When the machine is started or restarted it must be assumed that
the thermal conditions have not all been fulfilled in the first few
cycles so that the quality of the parts cannot be guaranteed. The
required number of start-up cycles can be programmed so that
the parts are automatically treated as rejects without having to
register a production error.
Programmable start-up and switch-down sequences:
The start-up, switch-down and production change
sequences are graphically displayed in a sequence diagram. Here
all functions to be carried out, from the stand by operating mode
to automatic processing and back, are programmed.
Time-controlled automatic switch on/off.

Second programming level:
The level administration permits work on two different levels in the
program. For example a new order can be programmed while the
old order is still being processed.

Please pay special attention to the following:

Not every accessory or optional piece of equipment is available for
every machine.
Various accessories and options can be used with a machine
depending on the basic machine configuration. Some accessories
and options require a specific basic configuration, which however
is not available with every machine, meaning that not every
machine can be supplemented with every option.
Some accessories and options cannot be combined with one
another or are even mutually exclusive.
IMPORTANT
In this operating manual, you may therefore find options and

accessories described which are not included in your machine or
may not be available at all for your machine.

Time recording
For the production sequence, times are recorded in relation to the

process and displayed in the cycle time diagram.
There are three time modes for each process. These are displayed in a
bar diagram and in table form:
Starting time (1):
Starting time of process.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Waiting time (2):

Although the process is active, no action is carried out because
e.g. a delay time is programmed or a certain starting condition
must be waited for (stroke start, external input, etc.).
Running time (3):
Total running time of process including waiting time.

Procedure for programming

Setting the system clock
The SELOGICA controller has an internal clock with date and time
display.
Time

Here you input the current time.

For example 8.16 for 8:16 a.m.
Day, month
t008
Here you input the current day and month.

For example 17.05 for May 17th.
Year
t009
Input the current year here.
Weekday
t010
Input the current weekday here.

For example 3 for Wednesday.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
As the switch-on/off times are programmed via this clock, the clock
must first be set to the correct time (if this has not already been done).
IMPORTANT
The SELOGICA clock continues to run when the machine is

switched to 0. The clock is powered by an accumulator.
The date and time only need to be set once. The values only need
to be reset if the diagnosis board is removed from the controller or
the accumulator discharged.
The machine can only switch on automatically at the pre-set times,

e.g. for preheating, when the SELOGICA clock is correctly set.

Closing / opening speed [in mm/s]

The last speed of Mould closing is the positioning speed. This
is effective during the last movement stage until switch-over to
clamping force occurs.
Closing / opening force [in kN]
Stroke positions / end of stage [in mm]

Stroke positions are required to switch the various speeds on
and over. These stroke positions indicate the distance from the
zero point of the mould stroke (zero point = mould closed).
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
A stage of the mould movement ends at each of the stroke

positions. Switch-over to the next values occurs via a ramp.
From this position the mould movement then continues with the
data of the next stage.
The stroke from the next to last to the last stage is the mould
protection stroke (see mould protection) on the next page.

Here you input the force starting from which the main pump is
to be switched off (enabled). After this the pressure build-up
until the final clamping force is reached is undertaken by this
pump alone.
Activating the enable force
After switching over the clamping force the main pump and highpressure pump build up the clamping force together. In order to
release the main pump earlier for other tasks, you can input a
threshold value (enable force) at which the main pump is switched off
from the clamping force.

All regulated heating zones must have reached at least their

To ensure that the heat is evenly distributed in the cylinder, a predefined time (in relation to injection unit) must also elapse during
every initial heating up phase after switching on the machine, or if
the enable temperature falls too long under tolerance, before the
screw movements are enabled. This can prevent screw breakage
due to not properly molten material.

temperature by more than this tolerance, the controller issues a
warning. If the temperature continues to climb, the cylinder heating
is switched off.

General information on quality assurance
5.1
Quality assurance
5.1.1

With the SELOGICA direct there are four different functions available
for quality assurance (optional equipment which may not be installed
on your machine).
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Monitoring functions for :

monitoring charts (chapters 5.1.2 and 5.1.3),
quality-relevant parameters (chapter 5.1.4),
machine-related monitoring functions (chapter 5.4.2, ff.).
Graphical monitoring
The SELOGICA controller offers four possibilities of graphical

monitoring
monitoring of curves
monitoring of peak values
integral monitoring (with pressure signals only), alternatively
monitoring of temperature mean value (if a thermocouple is
connected),
monitoring of peak time value.
You can either:
activate only one of the above mentioned monitoring options,
or combine several options.
Procedure
The following three steps must be adhered to when setting up the

quality monitoring:
step 1:
configuration of the monitoring charts (chapter 5.1.2).
step 2:
display of the monitoring charts (chapter 5.1.3).
step 3:
set parameter f4001 = quality monitoring to yes and,

if required, activate the error assessment (chapter 5.1.4).

Graphical recording
With the SELOGICA direct controller you have the possibility of graphically recording the chronological progress of several actual values
and of monitoring them on-screen.
With the aid of the additionally displayable reference curve (see
chapter 5.1.3) you can carry out a precise comparison of the nominal
values with the recorded actual values.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
The curves recorded by the controller are displayed in up to eight

charts and monitored.
In each monitoring chart a curve and the respective monitoring
settings are displayed.
With standard equipment the following actual values can be recorded
and monitored:
injection pressure,
injection flow,
pressure, control circuit 1,
screw volume.
Before you can record the actual values, you must first configure the
monitoring chart and enter the data you require.

With this parameter you activate/deactivate the quality monitoring.

The quality monitoring should not be switched on until the machine
has produced several cycles in succession with constant part quality,
as otherwise the controller will keep issuing an alarm.
If, when the quality monitoring is switched on, the tolerance of a
programmed monitoring function is exceeded or not achieved, an
alarm is issued or the error evaluation started (when error evaluation is
set to "yes").

Good part evaluation with

deactivated quality monitoring
f4131
If, with activated quality monitoring, the tolerance of a programmed

monitoring is exceeded or not reached, an alarm is issued or the error
evaluation started.
If the machine is equipped with a sorter unit 1 or robotic handling
device 1, these parts are rejected as bad parts.
The parameter "Good part evaluation with deactivated quality

monitoring" offers you the possibility of counting these cycles as good
parts even if the quality monitoring is switched off, and, if the machine
has the respective equipment, of sorting them as good parts too.
Input "yes" at f4131 (Quality monitoring = "no").
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
However, if you have only switched off the quality monitoring to

optimise reference values or tolerances, these parts may well actually
be good parts.
If a defective cycle occurs only a warning is displayed but is not

evaluated as an error.
All produced parts are sorted as good parts, providing the
machine is equipped accordingly.
Reference value determination

In order to ensure that the cylinder is completely heated
through to the correct temperature, a further pre-defined screw
enable time is waited for, after the cylinder enable time has
been reached (in accordance with the size of the injection unit).
All screw movements remain inhibited during this time.
IMPORTANT
While the machine is heating up to the nominal temperature the

controller calculates the regulation parameters (adaptation). To
ensure that these parameters are calculated correctly, the machine
should be left to heat up undisturbed.
When saving a data set the determined control parameters are

also saved on the diskette. When the heating has adapted and
afterwards a new data set is imported, the newly imported control
parameters and not the previously determined ones become valid
after switching the heating briefly off and on again.
Exception: if the temperature difference between switching the
heating off and on is so great, a new adaptation will be carried out.

Open the mould (s504).
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Ensure that the ejector coupling is opened.
IMPORTANT
With heavy moulds or with mould parts which are difficult to move,
the force for mould closing in set-up mode might be insufficient. In
this case, switch over briefly to manual mode, increase the
clamping force and repeat the zeroing process. Set the operating
mode back to Set-up again after completion.
Ensure that all screws fixing the mould are correctly tightened!
Otherwise the mould may fall out on opening!
Do not open the mould before all the data for mould opening and
closing have been tested and if necessary corrected!
Incorrect data can lead to mould damage!

Connecting the ejector

without fixed coupling element
The hydraulic ejector is connected with the aid of a split coupling.

Proceed as follows if you are operating with a coupling element
without a fixed connection (see chapter 1.1.2):
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Attach the coupling element with the adjustment screw to the

piston rod of the hydraulic ejector (clamp using the split coupling).
A play of 1 mm must remain between the mould ejector rod and the
adjustment screw of the coupling (the rod heats up and expands
during operation).
Tighten the lock nuts again on the adjustment screw and inspect
the play.
Connecting the ejector

with fixed coupling element
If you are operating with a coupling element which has a fixed

connection to the mould ejector rod, proceed as follows:

Zeroing the stroke measuring systems
7.1.4
Zeroing the stroke measuring

systems
The stroke measuring systems of the machine always take

measurement from fixed points which cannot be changed (machinerelated zero points). You can however input all data for machine
movements as absolute values.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
To make this possible, zero points must be determined for each

mould for the stroke measurement systems (mould-related zero
points). This occurs in a simple manner by zeroing the stroke
measurement system. The machine must be in Set-up or manual
operating mode.
The following stroke measuring systems must be zeroed:
Zeroing the mould
Mould movements
zero position = mould closed
Ejector movements
zero position = ejector retracted
Nozzle movements

Starting up the machine
7.1.5
Checking the data
You have inspected the machine according to section 7.1.1 and have
switched it on according to section 7.1.2.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Check all the settings for the stroke control again! This is especially
important when you are working with a program which has been
loaded from a diskette! Set the machine to the Set-up operating
mode.
Checking the temperatures
Ensure that the nominal temperatures for cylinder and nozzle

heating have been reached. All movements of the screw are
inhibited in automatic mode as long as the temperatures are not
within tolerance.
Ensure that the mould temperature corresponds with the nominal
value (inspect temperature control devices if available).
IMPORTANT
When the machine is put into operation for the first time or when
the nozzle has been changed, the nozzle and nozzle tip must be
tightened after the nominal temperature is reached.
The sealed parts may leak if this is not observed!
Furthermore, the clamping screws on the nozzle heating system
must be tightened after the first heating up. Badly fitting heating
elements lead to higher energy consumption and the heating-up
period is prolonged.

Caution, hot plastic!
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Press this key to retract the injection unit completely.
For all work on the heated plasticizing cylinder a face mask and
safety gloves must be worn.
If this is not observed the high temperatures of the hot plastic melt
could cause serious burns!
Open the mould fully (paying attention to the supply lines

attached to the mould).
Retract the plasticizing unit. Press this key again until the
plasticizing unit is retracted to the mechanical limit.
Advance screw fully.

Dosage
Remove the material which has emerged from the nozzle.

Dose manually.
You can input a special value for back pressure when dosing in
manual mode with a retracted nozzle. This will prevent material
emergence from the nozzle:
Input yes at f404.

7.1.5
Determining the number of

start-up cycles
During the start-up cycles, quality-related errors do not lead to a

machine alarm.
Furthermore, the parts produced are sorted out and counted as bad
parts if you are using a sorter unit (not standard).
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Input the number of required start-up cycles after heating off at

f090. Input the number of required start-up cycles to be carried out
after auto interruption at f090A.
Start-up order of injection units 1
On two-component machines you can define at which production

stage the respective injection unit is to become active at parameters
f9426 and f9427. (On three- and four-component machines parameters f9428 and f9429 are additionally available, see chapter 20.2.1).
If you do not want an order of sequence, input the following values:
f9426 = 1 injection unit 1,
f9427 = 1 injection unit 2.
Both injection units become active in the first production stage.
If you are producing a part which consists of a pre-form and a
finished part (i.e. produced in two production stages), define the
order of sequence as follows:
f9426 = 1 injection unit 1,
f9427 = 2 injection unit 2.
Injection unit 1 is active in the first stage and produces the preform. Injection unit 2 becomes active in the second stage and
completes the moulded part. (For more information see
chapters 20.1.15 and 20.1.16).
Opening the mould
Open the mould completely (to s504).
Retract the ejector completely (to s613).
Starting automatic operation
Select the required operating mode.

Press manual/auto in order to switch on automatic (LED lights up).
The LED on the start key flashes.
Press the start key. The first cycle starts.

Change of material, end of production
7.2.1
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Compatibility
When changing the material, never mix two materials that may react
with one another or of which the processing temperatures are not
compatible! This could lead to residue formation, combustion and
explosions.
Always observe the correct cylinder and nozzle temperatures! The
information supplied by the material supplier must be complied with!
Incorrect temperatures can lead to combustion or explosion!
If the processing temperatures of the old and new materials are not
the same, the plasticizing cylinder must first be cleaned. Inject a
relatively insensitive material for this purpose (PE, PP or PMMA - see
table in 7.2.2. page 1). Only then should you inject the new material.
Peculiarities with POM or PC
Before or after processing with POM or PC the plasticizing cylinder

must be cleaned with an insensitive material. Inject with PE, PP or
PMMA (see table). Better still: purge with a cleaning material (see
chapter 9.1.3)
The nozzle must be cleaned before or after the processing of PC! It is
advisable to have an additional nozzle for the processing of PC.
..\TECH-DAT\ALLG\EN07BA_00_306_000.FM 01 2004.03.01
PC must not be allowed to cool in the plasticizing cylinder as it will

create a strong bond with the surface of the screw and cylinder wall.
The material must be completely removed from the cylinder at the end
of production (see above). The cylinder temperature should not sink
below 150 - 170 C (302 - 338F) during interruptions in production or
machine down time.
Peculiarities of PVC
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
After processing with PVC, the entire plasticizing unit must be

cleaned. Remove the plasticizing screw for this purpose (see 9.1.3 for
instructions).
Cleaning and maintenance work on a heated cylinder as well as

changing of colour or material must only be undertaken when a
face mask and safety gloves are worn.
-1-
7.2.1
Peculiarities with PVDF
The melt of PVDF must not come in contact with products containing
Boron (screw, cylinder, nozzle, certain types of fibre glass) or MoS2,
because spontaneous degradation of the melt occurs which can lead
to fire or the formation of gas. It is also important to use only colouring
agents, fillers and reinforced materials which are recommended by the
manufacturer.
ARBURG plasticizing cylinders and screws are stamped with a

number on the rear of the shaft. If you are in doubt, please contact
ARBURG and state these numbers to ensure that your components
are suitable for the processing of PVDF.
PVDF must not be processed with plasticizing units that have been
hardened with Boron (ARBID version).
A high pressure build-up in the plasticizing cylinder can result from
the chemical reaction. Danger of explosion!
It is absolutely essential to observe the processing instructions
stipulated by the material manufacturer.
..\TECH-DAT\ALLG\EN07BA_00_306_000.FM 01 2004.03.01
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
ARBID plasticizing components (cylinder, screw, check valve) have a

layer containing Boron and must not be used for the processing of
PVDF.

Cleaning the mould
Clean the mould. Apply an anti-corrosion agent if necessary.
IMPORTANT
The movable mould platen must only sink by a maximum of 1 mm/

min.
If it sinks more than 1mm/min., the clamping unit must be checked
and if necessary the seals renewed.
Always move the peripheral devices out of the mould clamping
area before interrupting the production or switching off the
machine. Collisions or movement problems due to stroke
monitoring could otherwise occur.
Switch off the pump motor.

Switch off the heating.
Shut off the supply of cooling water. The individual cooling circuits
can remain open. You do not need to adjust them again when you
restart operation.
Switch off the main switch. The main switch must remain at
position 1 if you are operating with automatic switch on.

Switching off the machine
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
With machines with vertically arranged clamping unit there is a

tendency for the movable mould platen to sink slowly downwards
when the production is interrupted or the machine is switched off.
This sinking tendency is caused by very slight oil leaks that can
occur in spite of flawless seals.

Country ID (2-letter code acc. to ISO 3166-1). This field can also be
empty.
Valid until
End of validity.
If the expiry date lies in the past, the controller ignores the card.
If no validity date is entered, the transponder card is valid indefinitely.
IMPORTANT
The transponder card is your personal access authorisation to the

controller and thus protects against unauthorised inputs.
Never give your card to an unauthorised person. This applies in
particular to the superuser.
ARBURG includes 5 transponder cards with each transponder
reader on delivery. Each card has the highest user authorisation.
More cards can be ordered under the part no. 237676.
If you want to modify the cards and create a superuser card for
yourself, you require the programming device for transponder
cards together with the necessary SAFELOG PC software and an
operating manual.
To program the transponder cards you further require a PC with
USB connector and MICROSOFT WINDOWS operating system
ME/2000/XP.
The superuser transponder card is required to access the
changing functions and to define the individual authorisation
levels.
Treat your transponder card therefore with as much care as you
would your personal bank card!

The authorisations are newly defined for all users of this stage.
Each user only has access to the controller functions which are

The authorisation levels can be defined differently on each
machine by the superuser.
IMPORTANT
Only the superuser can change authorisation levels.

7.4.3
Key switch option
Machines equipped with the Key switch option permit access to

most controller functions, without using a transponder card.
Key switch ON
Permits access to all controller functions with the exception of
those which are reserved for the superuser only. An inserted transponder card of authorisation levels 1 to 3 has no influence.
Safety key (code)
The safety key (code) is used to check the validity of the card. The
machine accepts only cards which have the same safety key as set on
the machine.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Key switch OFF:

The machine behaves in the same way as a machine without the
key switch option and answers only to cards.
On delivery, all machines and cards have the same safety key. In order
to prevent unauthorised persons from operating your machine, you
can assign an individual safety key valid only for your factory.
CAUTION
Only alter the safety key on your machine after you have created
new cards which are programmed with the new safety key (code).
As soon as the safety key is changed on the machine the old card
IMMEDIATELY loses its validity. It is then impossible to input data.
If you want to change your safety key:

First create new cards with a new individual safety key using the
programming kit.
EUROMAP65 stipulates that all machines, no matter from which

manufacturer, are given the same safety key. This key is then valid for
all machines which conform with EUROMAP65.
In order to differentiate between individual user and machine groups,
you should use the group ID (see following page).
-6-
7.4.3
Then you can input a new individual safety key on your machine.
Your old card then immediately becomes invalid. Use one of the
new, previously programmed cards to operate the machine.
Machine group ID
The group ID provides a further possibility of denying access to your

machines to unauthorised persons, in addition to the safety key.
While the safety code is intended to primarily prevent outsiders from
gaining access to your machines, the group ID serves the purpose of
limiting the authorisation of individual employees to certain machines
only.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Example
In a machine hall there are two groups of machines.

The employees operating the machines of group 1 are only to have
access to machines of their group (independent of authorisation level).
The same applies to group 2.
The superuser allocates the group ID, e.g.Dept. 1 to all machines of
group 1 and Dept. 2 to all machines of group 2. The safety key is the
same for all machines.
The head of this department, who oversees both groups, requires
access to all machines. For this purpose, so-called wildcards are
required. Wildcards contain retainers for one or more characters in the
code or ID. For example a ? stands for one character and * stands
for any number of characters.
The head of department is therefore given the group code Dept. ?.
The head of the whole firm who requires access to all machines in the
factory will be given the group ID *. If he were given the code B* he
would only have access to machines with a code starting with the
letter B.
CAUTION
Even a superuser card is only valid for machines which match the
group ID.
A superuser can exclude himself from the operation of a machine
by inputting a group ID which does not match his own card.
A superuser card with the group ID * (asterisk) matches all
machines, no matter which group ID it has.
-7-
7.4.3
With this option you can activate or deactivate authorisation levels.

Active means :
The rules stipulated in the selection panel Authorisation levels
apply for permission to access the controller functions.
Inactive means:
The Authorisation levels selection panel is not available. Each
user has general user authorisation without transponder card. A
superuser card must be used only for parameters reserved for the
superuser only.
(If your machine is equipped with the key switch option, the user
authorisation is now only determined by the key switch. )
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
(If your machine is equipped with the key switch option, this only
applies when the key switch is set to OFF, because when the key
switch is set to ON access to controller functions is granted
anyway.

Safety instructions for horizontal parting line injection
7.5.6
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
If your machine is being operated in L-position or in working position 4

or 5 (vertical clamping unit and horizontal injection unit - this depends
on the equipment of the machine), the nozzle points directly towards
the operating area of the user.
Explosive
combustion
Some plastics can ignite or are subject to an explosive combustion

when exposed to high temperatures too long.
Caution!
Combustion can also occur when the safety gate is open. Operating
the machine in the above mentioned working positions can thus lead
to a higher risk of burns.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
All work in the nozzle and mould area may only be carried out
when a face mask and protective safety gloves are worn.
Set lower values of speed and pressure before purging or dosing
the cylinder until empty. During this process of purging and dosing
until empty, do not stay in the area where the material is being
ejected. Ensure the correct temperature settings and drying
regulations are observed, as prescribed by the material manufacturer (danger of combustion).
Attach a deflection plate to the mould when possible which covers

the material ejection zone during opening of the mould (see
construction suggestion on the following page).
..\TECH-DAT\ALLG\EN07EF_00_306_001.FM 01 2006.05.17
( GF1716Z )
The operating personnel (e.g. for insertion or removal work) must

also wear protective clothes and a face mask.
-1-
7.5.6
In order to increase safety in the parting line during horizontal

injection, we recommend attaching a deflection plate to the mould,
which covers the material ejection zone during opening of the mould.
In this way, you prevent hot plastic entering the mould or spraying out
into the open during purging or dosing the cylinder until empty or in
the case of combustion.
The deflection plate must be manufactured individually for each mould
and is not available for this reason from ARBURG.

respective type of material (see 4.4.3). A higher temperature
ensures a better cleaning performance.
Set a high back pressure and medium screw rotation speed.
Pour cleaning agent into the feed opening using a beaker. Do not
insert hard tools into the feed opening. Do not let dirt fall the feed
opening.
Allow the screw to rotate until the cleaning agent has fully
displaced the old material in the plasticizing cylinder and the
cleaning agent emerges clean.
If this is not the case, see Problems during cleaning on the
next page.
Set the cylinder temperatures to the required value.

Reinstalling the cylinder after it has been dismantled
9.4.3

If you have completely dismantled the cylinder module, e.g. in order to
clean the cylinder, proceed as follows to reinstall it:
Install the cylinder model as described in chapter 9.4.1.
Screw on the groove nut (3) manually until it makes contact with
the support housing.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Open the clamping screw (1) on the clamping element (2).

Switch on the cylinder heating and heat up the cylinder to the
nominal temperature.
Move the nozzle up to the installed mould and allow the nozzle
contact pressure to build up.
Tighten the clamping screw (1) while the nozzle contact pressure is
built up.
Retract the nozzle.

Tighten the groove nut (3).
IMPORTANT
Proceed in the same way if you want to install a new cylinder

module or one which has been repaired. This assembly step does
not need to be carried out with cylinder modules which were
installed in the machine before leaving the factory.
If the clamping screw (1) is not tightened under nozzle contact
pressure, the clamping element (2) can move during operation. As
a result the cylinder module will become loose even if the groove
nut is tightened and secured with a circlip.

Oil change, inspection of toothed ring
9.8.2
Schedule
Change the hydraulic oil after every 20,000 operating hours.

Carefully observe the oil changing schedule noting the date of each
change (see 9.8.1).
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Procedure
For the oil change, the oil should have a temperature of between 45
C and 50 C (thin bodied).
Open the tank cap and pump out the oil.
Remove the tank cover (underneath the injection unit).
Remove oil residue.
Clean the tank thoroughly. Do not use fibrous cloths or cleaning
wool!
Pour in new oil according to section 1.1.8.
Vent the hydraulic system according to section 9.8.4.
With each oil change also replace the oil filters (see 9.8.3) and the
air filter insert in the tank cover.
Cater for absolute cleanliness during the oil change. Contamination will shorten the machines lifetime.
Use only oil brands and types listed in section 9.9 (DIN 51524
version 2/H-LP46/DIN 51519/ISO VG46).
Get your oil supplier to test the oil quality at least once a year,
independently of the service intervals.
..\TECH-DAT\ALLG\EN09HB_00_306_001.FM 01 2006.04.25

9.8.3
Venting the hydraulic system
9.8.4
When is it necessary?
Venting of the hydraulic system is always necessary if it is possible

that large amounts of air have penetrated the system.
The system should be vented after one of the following circumstances:
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
after filling the oil tank for the first time

after an oil change or other work on the hydraulic system
after a long machine standstill.
Air in the hydraulic system?
Air in the hydraulic system can be recognized by:

foaming of the oil
sudden, jerky injection and clamping unit movements
abnormal noises.
How to vent
Set low speeds and pressures for the initial axis movements.
1. Open and close the clamping unit 8 - 10 times in manual control
(total stroke).
2. Advance and retract the nozzle 8 - 10 times (total stroke).
3. Advance and retract the screw 8 - 10 times (total stroke). If there is
still material in the cylinder, the cylinder and nozzle heating must
be switched on beforehand and the nominal temperatures must be
reached.
4. Inspect the oil level after venting and top up if necessary (see
1.1.8).
\\TECH-DAT\ALLG\EN09HD_00_306_000.FM 01 2004.04.27
Load the start program from the system diskette and repeat steps
1 - 4 several times until the hydraulic system is completely vented.
IMPORTANT
Remove the mould before venting the hydraulic system.

Sudden, jerky machine movements can cause damage to the
mould!

Maintenance and repair work on the hydraulic system
9.8.6
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
All remaining pressure must be relieved before work

commencement. The main switch of the machine must be
switched off and secured (with a padlock) against unintentional
switch-on.
Attention: System under pressure! Before commencing work
relieve remaining oil pressure (see manometer).
Not observing these instructions can lead to risk of (fatal) injury!
Pressure level inspection
( GW1338Z )
Maintenance and repair works on the hydraulic system of the

machine must only be undertaken by personnel with special
knowledge and experience in hydraulics.
Before you undertake any work on the hydraulic system, you must
ensure that all remaining pressure has been discharged. This should
be inspected with the aid of a manometer from the machine spare
parts kit (see illustration).
Provide a mechanical support for all movements which may cause

risk of injury.
Screw the coupling of the manometer onto the following measuring
nipples successively:
\\TECH-DAT\ALLG\EN09HF_00_306_002.FM 01 2007.06.19
Measuring nipple M1.2 = clamping pressure

Measuring nipple M1.14 = mould closing
Measuring nipple M1.44 = mould opening
Measuring nipple M2.3 = nozzle contact pressure
Measuring nipple M3.1 = injection side pressure
Measuring nipple M6.5 = ejector pressure
The nipples are designated accordingly on the hydraulic distribution
manifold.
Measuring nipple M7.5 = core pull pressure
-1-
9.8.6
Reducing the remaining

pressure
Any pressure remaining in the system should be discharged through

the respective nipple.
Slowly screw a measuring cable without a manometer attached
onto the measuring nipple.
As soon as the quick coupling of the measurement nipple
opens, the pressure is relieved as some hydraulic oil emerges.
Collect the emerging oil in a container.
Support of vertical hydraulic units
Vertically positioned hydraulic units (clamping unit, injection unit)

must be supported before commencing any maintenance or
conversion work to prevent them from slipping. Do not remove any
hydraulic connections before the support is effective.
Not observing these points can lead to danger of very serious
injury.
As a result of the forces of gravity acting on vertically positioned

cylinders, the moving cylinder and consequently the entire unit can fall
down when the hydraulic connections are opened. The hydraulic oil
which is displaced by gravity will be discharged under the resulting
pressure.
For this reason, a support must be installed before any maintenance and repair work is carried out on the machine, to prevent the
hydraulic unit slipping down.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

Suggestion for the support of a vertical hydraulic unit

Clamping unit:
Measure the clearance between the fixed and movable mould

platen.
Cut 2 thick pieces of squared timber to this measurement.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Insert the squared pieces of timber vertically between the fixed and
movable clamping platen and secure them to one of the columns.
They should be arranged diagonally.
Injection unit
Measure the clearance between the support housing for the plasticizing cylinder and the fixed mould platen.
Cut a thick piece of squared timber to this measurement.
Insert the squared timber vertically between the support housing
and the fixed mould clamping platen and secure it to one of the
injection unit columns.
Also place a similar support between the machine base and drive
housing when the drive housing is retracted.
Move the nozzle and the screw to the most advanced (lowest)
position, if possible before repair work. A support of the injection unit
is then not required. The injection unit can also be removed and
repaired in the horizontal position.

Adjusting the hydraulic pressure
To check and adjust the adjustable hydraulic pressure, there is either

a manometer or a connection for a measuring instrument on the
respective control manifold. The measuring connections are marked
on the control manifold with a milled number, e.g. M2.3. The meaning
of this designation can be taken from the hydraulics circuit plan of the
machine.
Connect the manometer with measuring tube (1) from your
machine tool kit to the respective measuring connection (2).
The manometers on the control manifolds, as well as the

manometer with measuring tube, have a display tolerance of
1,6 %. For very precise pressure settings, therefore, a precision
manometer must be used.
Adjusting the pneumatic

pressure
The pneumatic pressure is set on the pressure relief valve on the

pneumatic maintenance unit.
Pull the knob out, set the pressure and press the knob back in
again to lock it.

Mixing capabilities, compatibility

Never mix different lubricants or lubricants of different manufacturers together. If this is unavoidable, e.g. when changing the oil on
a machine, a compatibility test must be carried out by the
lubricant manufacturer.
System rinse required (fluid, seals and hoses).
Zinc/ash-free hydraulic fluids

These fluids are subject to approval by ARBURG, due to compatibility problems and counter reactions with the types of seals often
installed in hydraulic systems.
Component safety
The hydraulic fluid must be free of sodium and chlorine. The
content of heavy metals in the hydraulic fluid must be limited to a
minimum. The listed products are compatible with bearings and
bearing media (radial-, axial bearings and hydrostatic bearings).
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Viscosity category
Only viscosity category VG46 (ISO VG46 DIN51519) is permitted
due to the type of hydraulic pump installed.
Fluids for increased requirements or special fluids

Hydraulic fluids of the category HVLP have multi-grade character
and a naturally high viscosity index (energy-saving, long-life).
For the high-performance mechanisms of the ALLROUNDER with
AED and the ALLDRIVE, fluids must be used which are listed in the
high-performance machine oils table.
For ALLROUNDERs which are used in the food industry or which
require an FDA USDA-H1 or NSF approval, fluids from the table
Special hydraulic oils must be used.
Hydraulic fluids which come under the low-flammable category
cannot be approved for ARBURG machines because they would
damage the special sealing systems and adapted hydraulic
components. Here secondary measures with regard to fire
prevention are more appropriate.
Hydraulic fluids which are not based on mineral oil are not
permitted. Hydraulic fluids which come under the category of
synthetic esters (HEE, HEES) must be tested and require
ARBURGs explicit approval.
Setting into operation/maintenance/repairs
Observe the guidelines for handling and storage stipulated by the
fluid manufacturer and fill the system with pre-filtered hydraulic
fluid only (ISO 4406: 1999 - grade 18/15/12). Adhere to the
maintenance and oil-changing schedules and specifications stipulated in the operating manual.

9.9
Lubricants in general
Purity grades for hydraulic oils

Neutral institutes have ascertained that failures of hydraulic systems
are caused in 80 % of cases by contamination of the hydraulic fluid.
For this reason, besides such basic characteristics such as viscosity,
temperature stability and anti-wear properties, the purity of the
hydraulic fluid plays a particularly decisive role in ensuring a fault-free
operation of your injection moulding machine.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Oil is usually contaminated by hard particles such as dust and

abraded material or soft particles which arise during the ageing
process. The soft particles can stick to the hydraulic components or
deposit in the filters and impair their function.
In order to measure and assess the degree of contamination, socalled purity grades have been introduced. Here the quantity and
size of the particles per 100 ml oil are ascertained. The method for
determining the purity of the oil and the classification of the purity
grades are defined in ISO standard 4406:1999.
ISO 4406: 1999 (International Standard Organisation)
The classification is determined in accordance with the size of the
particles > 4 m, > 6 m and > 14 m. The particle count is ascertained cumulatively and specified in ordinal numbers, which are
specified in turn in ISO standards.
Example: purity grade 18/15/12 means:
18 indicates particles sized > 4 m
15 indicates particles sized > 6 m
12 indicates particles sized > 14 m.
In respect of components such as pumps and valves installed in the
hydraulic circuit of your injection moulding machine, the following
purity levels apply as maximum values.
Standard
ISO 4406: 1999
max.
18/15/12
If an additional filter system is used for increasing the life span of the
machine components, the purity classification ISO 4406:1999 - 15/12/
09 must be achieved permanently (see section on fluid management,
page 4).
IMPORTANT
Have the hydraulic fluid of your injection moulding machine

checked (analysed) by an oil specialist at least once a year.
All additional methods of filtration do not substitute the oil change
prescribed in the maintenance schedule. Acidic components in
very old oils can corrode the hoses and seals.
-3-
9.9
The specified purity grades already correspond to the demands on a

high-speed hydraulic system with control valves in an injection
moulding machine.
A further increase in machine availability can be achieved by
improving the purity grades and ensuring the upkeep of the required
oil quality. For this purpose, an overall concept, i.e. a so-called fluid
management is required, which is based on the following aspects:
Only selected lubricants (see lubricants table, footnote 1) with

increased performance reserves (LAV, AW, EP, wear codes)
must be used.
Handling / avoidance,
-
Lubricants are to be handled in a way which is not detrimental

to the environment or to production. Do not change or mix
different types of lubricants.
Storage in production ambience in suitable storage tanks with

integrated filter station.
Purity grade in the storage tank: ISO4406: 1999 - 15/12/09.
Filling / refilling of hydraulic system only with suitable transport

containers through filter system.

Gaseous materials / vapours
9.10 Environmental protection measures

9.10.2 Gaseous materials / vapours
Exhausting gases
Gases and vapours are given off during the plastification of plastic
materials. The gases often contain harmful and poisonous
substances.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
The gases can emerge at the following locations:

at the vent opening (only with vented cylinders),
at the nozzle
at the mould.
For this reason, an effective device for the collection and
exhaustion of the gas should be placed in the immediate vicinity.
Do not simply exhaust the gas unfiltered into the open air.
Ensure that the exhausted gases are suitably processed (filter,
neutralised etc.).
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Before commencing production consult your plastics manufacturer about possible detrimental effects on the environment and
suitable protection measures.
( PA0386ZA )
Gases and dust can be harmful depending on their composition.

Do not inhale the gas or dust.
\\TECH-DAT\ALLG\EN09JB_00_306_000.FM 01 2004.04.28
Attachment of a gas or dust filter is exclusively the responsibility of

the machine operating authority.

Disposal of used oils and lubricants
9.10.3 Disposal of used oils and lubricants

Used oils and lubricants are substances detrimental to water and the
environment that must be taken to a special disposal facility after use.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Improper storage or disposal of used oils and lubricants endangers

the environment. Mixing with other materials such as solvents, brake
and cooling fluids is strictly forbidden.
Used oils
Used oils are all mineral lubricating or industrial oils that have become
unsuitable for the use for which they were originally intended.
Related to your injection moulding machines, this applies in particular
to the hydraulic and gear lubricating oils. (EAK-no. 130201, 130202),
(LAGA 54114), (OECD AC030)
Separate disposal
Hydraulic oils must be stored, collected or transported separately

from other used oils and disposed of in a special facility.
Mixing ban
It is strictly forbidden to mix used oils with other used oils or waste
products, in particular with those that are used for recycling.
Verification
The verification of the disposal of used oils is compulsory.

Every company or workshop that produces, collects and/or disposes
of more than one amount of used oil (depending on country) is obliged
to keep a record of the exact amount, consistency, origin, place of
storage, delivery and acceptance , whereby in particular the date of
delivery and acceptance is to be recorded.
Information and proof is to be presented on demand to the respective
authority.
\\TECH-DAT\ALLG\EN09JC_00_306_000.FM 01 2004.04.28
IMPORTANT
The above mentioned information and instructions are only

extracts from the Regulation for the Disposal of Used Oil BGBI no.
49 dated 31.10.1987 and from the guide line RL 75/439/EEC:
Disposal of Used Oils.
This information is not to be deemed as complete!
Further information is therefore to be taken directly from the

Recording values for graphics
With the SELOGICA direct controller, it is possible to record the

time-dependant or stroke-dependant progression of several nominal
and/or actual values, and to display them in a graphical diagram on
the monitor.
With this function, external pressure, stroke and speed transducers
record the values which are subsequently output on a very precise X/
Y plotter
It is thus possible to display an exact comparison of the nominal
values with the actual values recorded.
The curves recorded by the controller are displayed in the Graphics

1 and Graphics 2 diagrams. Up to 4 curves can be displayed in
each diagram.
The following data can be recorded:

Injection pressure, nominal value
Injection flow, nominal value
Screw stroke
Injection pressure, actual value
Injection flow, actual value

With the general measuring system you have the possibility of also
checking quality characteristics that are not directly connected to
pressure or temperature, for example weight or length.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
You have connected and configured your measuring system as

described in chapter 10.2.2. The controller now requires a few

Zero point
If you do not want 0 volt to correspond to 0 parts of your selected unit

you can input a zero point at parameter f4512 or f4522, e.g. 10 units.
Unit
At parameter f4513 or f4523 you input the unit you are using in text
form, e.g. kg for kilogram or mm for millimetre.
Conversion factor
The amplifier generally has an operating range of 0 to 10 volt. You

must therefore input a suitable conversion factor at parameter U4511
or U4521, e.g. 0.5 kg corresponds to 1 volt.
Ideally the value you expect should be around 5 volt, so that enough
capacity is available.
You can now read off the current actual value in the parameter panel
and optimize the adjustments of your machine.
General measuring system with

automatic switch-over
Compared to the conventional general system, the general measuring

system with automatic switch-over gives you the additional possibility
of having the ideal switch-over point calculated for you by the
controller and you do not need to determine this yourself in steps.
Actual value
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
With a signal of 0 volt the corresponding zero point is output (in this
case 10 kg).

Function of the programmable outputs
11.2 Programmable outputs

11.2.1 Function of the programmable outputs
The programmable outputs are used to start and end processes, in
dependence on the machines cycle sequence.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
With the programmable outputs you can start and stop external
devices or control mould functions.
The programmable outputs can also be used to query signals from
external devices or from the mould and, in relation to these, to start
and stop machine functions.
Activating programmable
outputs
You activate the programmable outputs by inserting the required

output symbols in the sequence editor in the production sequence.
As soon as the output symbols are inserted in the sequence editor,
you can call up the respective parameter panels and select the start
and end conditions.
In the same way you can link outputs together and select whether the
outputs are to be triggered in a cyclic manner, in a non-cyclic 1
manner or alternately 1.
Using the following outputs 1 and 2 as an example, we want to show
you how to proceed when programming the outputs. Outputs 3/4, 5/6,
and 7/8 etc. are programmed in the same way and therefore need no
separate instructions.
Assuming 2 outputs are to be programmed: output 1 to be started

simultaneously with mould closing and ended via a run time. Output
2 is to be started after nozzle advance and ended after mould
opening.

As output 1 is to be ended after a run time, no stop symbol need
be programmed for this output.
For output 2 you insert the start symbol after the process nozzle
advance. As this process is to be stopped by an end symbol,
insert the end symbol of output 2 after the process mould
closing.

the process, it must first become 0 and then 1 again, so that the
output can be ended (see illustration).

Linking and repeating outputs
11.2.3 Linking and repeating outputs
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
With the SELOGICA direct control system it is possible to link

outputs with each other or to repeat outputs several times in a
production sequence.
Output 1 and 2,
linked as a common group
Linking outputs as a common group shows the control system that

both outputs trigger the same axis. This has an effect e.g. on the
monitoring of the end switch.
In the above sequence for example, output 1 makes the advancement
movement with pneumatic cylinder and output 2 makes the retraction
movement with the same pneumatic cylinder.

Linking outputs 1/2
It is possible to link 2 outputs with each other in 2 different ways. With

the aid of this function advancement and retraction movements can
be realised for example, or one output triggered several times.
Possible inputs:
No link.
With a common group the outputs move the same axis and
represent the counter movements to each other. Both outputs
must be programmed in the sequence. Possible example of application: control of a pneumatic cylinder for ejecting the moulded
parts. The first output advances the cylinder; the second output
retracts it again.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Common group:
This value is only possible when the end condition is not a startstop-type with 2 symbols in the sequence.
Common output:
With this link, the signal of the 2nd (4th, 6th, 8th) output is sent to
the valve of the 1st (3rd, 5th, 7th) output.
As each output can only be programmed once in a sequence, this
option is only useful when a signal is required several times in a
sequence.
If for example output 1 and 2 are linked as a common output, then
output 1 is always activated when one of them is triggered.
A repetition can be programmed for each output, providing no startstop-type has been programmed. The output can be carried out in the
sequence several times, depending on the assigned inputs or the run
time.
Insert this symbol for repetitions.
The number of repetitions to be carried out after the respective

symbol in the sequence must be input in the parameter panel of the
programmable output.
The functions for the input of the repetitions are as follows:
f2213
repetition of output 1, to
f2283
repetition of output 8.

Repetitions
As with start and end a requirement must be stated for the

repetition too. These are input at parameters f9341 to f9348.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
Possible inputs:
Press this key.
The 1st input of the programmable output ends a repetition. Before

the following repetition can be ended by the same input, it must
become inactive once (= 0). Only after that will the active (= 1) input be
accepted again.
Via S2220
The 2nd input of the programmable output ends a repetition process.

Before the following repetition can be ended by the same input, it
must become inactive (= 0) once. Only after that will the active (= 1)
input be accepted again.
Via run time
Each repetition is active for the run time displayed in the parameter
panel.
( PB0599D GU1443Z )
Via S2210
Programming example
Output 1 controls an ejector integrated in the mould. A shaking

movement (short stroke) of the ejector is achieved by repeating the
output which ensures correct demoulding of the part.
-3-
11.2.3
This input is only possible with outputs 2, 4, 6 and 8 when a group

repetition is programmed.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
In the following switch diagram you see an example for a common

group with 2 end switches S2210 and S2220 and group repetition via
end switch S2224. In this way a shorter stroke can be achieved for
example for the shaking movement. .
If two outputs are combined as a common group only one repeat

symbol group repetition can be programmed in the sequence for
this group. For both outputs the end conditions for the respective
repetition of each output must be indicated.
During the repetitions the end condition of the second output is at the
same the start condition for the first output and vice versa.

11.2.3
As with such a configuration both outputs move the same axis and
output 1 is in end position before the group repetition starts, the group
repetition begins with output 2 and ends with output 1. Afterwards
output 1 is in end position and output 2 can be moved.
With the aid of these settings an ejector for example can be controlled
via the programmable outputs. The group repetition represents the
short stroke (shaking) movements.

Output active in end position
Each output can be programmed so that it is active in the end

position, i.e. with a hydraulic function the hydraulic pressure is held,
with a non-hydraulic function the valve remains triggered although the
process is ended.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
The production sequence of the machine can continue during this

time. If this is the case, a pressure reduction symbol must be
programmed in the sequence, to reduce the held pressure or with
the non-hydraulic functions to switch off the triggering of the valves.
Pressure reduction
When outputs are configured as a common group the pressure

reduction symbol is not essential, because the counter movement
automatically reduces the pressure previously held. There is however
the possibility here of programming the pressure reduction symbol for
output 1 (3,5,7):
after the standard symbol,

Selectable options:
output not active in end position
output in end position is active in automatic and manual

operating modes. In the automatic operating mode the function
is as above. In the manual operating mode the output remains
actuated after the manual sequence has ended - without further
activation of the sequence key. This function can only be selected
when two outputs are defined as a common group.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
output in end position is only active in the automatic operating

mode. After the end condition for the output has been reached it is
not switched off but remains actuated.
IMPORTANT
If the safety gate is opened during the production sequence all

outputs and other pressures are switched off.
As soon as the safety gate is closed and the start button pressed
the outputs that were previously active are automatically reactivated. The triggering remains active and the pressure is held
although no function was activated beforehand.

General information on the interface
14.2 EUROMAP 67 interface for robot system

14.2.1 General information on the interface
In order to be able to operate a robot system, the injection moulding
machine must be equipped with an appropriate interface and the
corresponding software (not standard).
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
The interface for the robot system makes communication possible

between the machine controller and the robot system. In order to
make the controls of the various robot system manufacturers
compatible with the interfaces of the machine manufacturers, a
standard interface assignment has been developed and given the
designation EUROMAP 67.
A 50-pin plug-socket combination serves as plug connector (see
chapter 14.2.2).
Type of interface
Not all available pins and sockets are always used on an interface as
this depends on the particular application. Therefore the following
distinguishing criteria have been additionally determined for the interfaces:
f9060 = 2: standard EUROMAP 67 interface
basic equipment, this pin assignment is always available.
f 9264: extended interface
Pin ZA8 (signal mould opened to intermediate stop) is supported
by the software.
f9605: mould opening when S681 = 0

extended interface and additional software variant.

Parameter selection for the production protocol
17.8 Production protocol

17.8.1 Parameter selection for the production protocol
With the production protocol function, it is possible to record and print
a protocol during production with up to 16, partly quality-relevant
parameters.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
This protocol can for example:

accompany completed parts as a certicate of quality or
be used as a shift protocol for error analysis.
Selecting parameters for the

production protocol
Here you select the parameters, the data of which are to be stored in
the production protocol.

Parameter selection for the production protocol
It may be necessary to make several attempts in order to achieve the

optimal parameter selection.
It is advisable to gain an overview as to which parameters have an
influence on the quality characteristics of the moulded part and how
large this influence is.

Protocolling good parts

f1400
With the parameter f1400 Good part protocolling you determine the
recording mode for the production protocol for good parts.
no protocolling
conditional protocolling
cyclic protocolling
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
continuous protocolling.
The individual inputs have the following function:

No protocolling
No data are protocolled for the good parts.
Conditional protocolling
Up to 5 protocol starts are possible for each order. Start times /
part counts can be selected as desired.
The duration of the protocol is input either in number of cycles or
time period.
Cyclic protocolling
The protocols are started in relation to the cycle count, whereby
the intervals between protocols are input in no. of cycles or in time.
This means protocolled and non-protocolled cycles alternate
until the nominal part count stipulated in the order is reached.
Continuous protocolling
Every cycle producing good parts is protocolled
If deviations from the tolerances occur, the part is recognized as a

bad part and the cycle will not be recorded.
Protocolling bad parts

f1408
However, with the aid of the f1408 protocol bad parts parameter,
these cycles can also be recorded.
Input Y at f1408 protocol bad parts.
All cycles selected by the protocol functions are recorded,
regardless of whether the parts are good parts or bad parts.
In addition, all bad parts are protocolled. If the good part protocolling is switched off, only bad parts are protocolled.
-2-
17.8.2
Only the cycles which are recognized by the controller as good parts
are recorded in the production protocol.

Standard deviation (9)
The standard deviation is determined as follows:
s = standard deviation
n = number of values
x = protocolled values
The smaller the standard deviation, the smaller the dispersion of the
values around the average value, which means that the recorded
values have a small fluctuation.
If the standard deviation is small, the fluctuation of the protocolled
values around the average value is small.
BAM_207185_000_EN_10
The standard deviation is a measurement of the dispersion. It tells us

how far the recorded measured values differ.
If the standard deviation is large, either the fluctuation of the protocolled values around the average value is relatively large or a few
freak values have been recorded.
