Assemble and operating instructions

For the Thermoplastic Injector

TAURO 2004
 2

Some General Considerations:

In the first place we want to thank for the purchase to him of the plans for armed either the
injector or assembled machine, TAURO 2004. With this machine tool You already can begin
to make a highly profitable activity and to very low initial cost. Take into account that this
equipment has been designed to allow all person, who by different questions, it has been
moved away of the possibility of obtaining a use and must turn upside down to the practice
of some office of independent form.

Within the line TAURO of engineering in machines tools different industries and to generate
exits labor of low cost, also we have plans and machines assembled, for the industry of the
plastic vacuforming, but known like blistering and for the graphical industry (printing textile
or graphical screen printing)

The thermoplastic injector TAURO 2004, will allow to develop so many objects him as its
imagination can create. He is ideal for hobbistas and small productions. But it
includes/understands that the plastic industry is of by himself one of the industries of
greater diffusion and yield at world-wide level and which as it grows in his work, will have to
incline to the purchase of proffesional and automated equipment.

In case single the injector of thermoplastic can not design or create nothing. Its only
function is to introduce a certain type of plastic, fused to its own temperature of work with a
mold or matrix that will conform the wished piece. Therefore, although it must be had
extreme well-taken care of at the time of making and to assemble the parts that constitute
the injector, the degree of quality of the obtained piece, will give to the matrix or mold it and
not injector it. An example of industries or objects of very low cost and that You can begin to
develop in short lapse is the manufacture of insulating plastic washers, for the electronic
industry in general; plastic seales for the hydraulic industry, etc. Thousands of measures of
this type of washers exist, are of very low weight, which will allow to develop to a mold or
matrix him with several mouths (amount of pieces that are obtained in each cycle of
injection). Let us see the following example:

If You made an insulating flat washer, of 1 mm of internal eye and 3 mm of external

diameter and one height of 1 mm, this piece would have a weight approximated to 0.001
grams, which indicates to him that in a inyectora of 6 grams a matrix could be done of 60
mouths, is to say that You would obtain 60 washers by each cycle of injection. If we
multiplied this number by the amount of cycle/minute that the injector can make (4/5 cycles
per minute), we obtain that they would be obtained between 240 and 300 washers per
minute. If we multiplied this by 60 minutes, it will give 14.400/18.000 washers us per hour.
However, the plastic or raw material to use can be obtained from rejected plastic bottles
(type detergent or cans I am not transparent them of soda waters), which indicates a little
cost of raw material. It could sell them to 1 cent the dozen and...... We let You continue with
the calculations (this one is a simple example, does not take it like a calculation from
engineering in molds or production, since injector TAURO 2004, by its limitations of opening
and distance between columns would not allow a mold him of such spread).
 3
In order to operate the injector TAURO 2004, single one is enough to have a connection to
the power network electrical network (110/220V.) and a water source (refrigeration of the
furnace and the matrix or mold). The operative costs are equivalent to the consumption of 3
lamps of 100 Watts/hour, which is very small and will facilitate to be inserted in a market
where the costs are it everything. Resort to companies recycled plastic suppliers, always
will be to him but economic that to use new raw materials. Also it can recycle plastic
packages same You, cutting them in fiber form as large as a rice grain.

If it must resort to the services of turners, milling or lathe workers, are for the manufacture
of the machine or the design and construction of molds, it requests several budgets. And if
the pieces demand certain quality or must adjust to certain specifications, sometimes most
recommendable it is to resort to factories with ability to work in CNC (Computed Numeric
Control), since they will design the pieces and/or molds in computer screen before making
them and will allow to analyze its defects and to repair them before coming to the
manufacture. On the other hand the winches and automatic strawberries to CNC, have
capacity to work in thousandth of millimeter and making pieces of highest exactitude. Resort
to the Local Association of the Plastic Industry, will help it to be inserted with advice and
courses, to grow in an industry whose only limit is its imagination.

All the steel recommended in the construction of the different pieces have been chosen so
that each one has supported with comfort the different exigencies from which will be put
under in the work. The calculations of resistance of materials are not included that endorse
the dimensions of the different parts. All the measures are expressed in millimeters or
inches, in which case the unit is added ("). the figures do not require the previous
knowledge of norms of technical drawing, so that they can easily be interpreted. The spirals
female and male imagine with lines of interrupted outline.

Tools And Machines Needed To Use In The Construction

 4

- Clamps
- Metal cutter of Arc
- Metal blaster
- Wicks and males to thread
- Table Drill
- Rectifying Winch / Brush /
- Airbrush and compressor for synthetic painting

If brush or flat rectifier is not had, or it is decided not to derive the works corresponding to
factories from third, the machine can be also constructed. The only difference will be in the
termination of completion of the same one. However some pieces, although are few,
essentially need to be turned. Collate several budgets, in the case of not having a winch,
considering that the work is of easy execution. The machine is designed so that all their
pieces are assembled to each other by means of screws, not existing no weld. The painting
of the machine is important in order to preserve it of the oxidation. Nevertheless, he is
advisable to make pre-arming of the different parts in order to verify that errors of
mechanized do not exist before coming to the painting stage. After approved the different
pieces, clean them to it with reliable, it applies to base liquid on which will be painted and
later airbrushing with converter of oxide or antioxide. Sandpaper later smoothly and you
paint with synthetic enamel each piece separately. Use to thinner of good quality like
extender.

Next one details each one of the constituent pieces of the microinjector and the way as the
set must be assembled.

Furnace:

Is constructed it from a round bar (sinking) of steel SAE 1045 or, if a very high quality is
desired, from a bar of a little greater diameter of discounted steel SAE 4140, sending later
the finished piece to nitrurate. Using SAE 1045 treatment is not needed some but the same
hardness is not obtained that with SAE 4140. Figure 1 shows the furnace, whose superior
opening, that corresponds to the hopper of load of the machine, can be worked to blaster
after perforating several consecutive holes. A winch (mounting the work in the car
toolholder) or a milling machine can be used alternatively. The furnace does not have torp,
because its small diameter makes unnecessary. The reason of being of the outer diameter
of one inch and average (approximately 38 mm) is the one of which electrical resistance of
the type jacket are obtained easily which they correspond to that measurement. Usually
they have a power of 300 Watt, although they are possible to be constructed to size.
Although the furnace works or with a single resistance, can be used two if it is desired to
increase to the rate of production or the capacity of injection.

Tip:

The tip of the furnace takes control of silver steel of 19 mm of diameter, according to the
detail of Figure 2. Later must be tempered.

Piston:
 5
The piston makes with silver steel a bar of 13 mm of diameter (it see Figure 3). A part of this
bar must stoop to average inch (12.7 mm) of diameter, in order to be able to turn a
Whitworth spiral. Weather must occur, at least, to the part nonthreaded.

Hopper:

The load hopper is constructed with plate of aluminum or brass, 1 mm of thickness,

according to the development of Figures 4 and 5. The four lateral ones that is unite between
if by means of small aluminum rivets. It agrees to make the perforations respective once
each lateral one has been doubled as they indicate the corresponding figures. The long
legs, will have to embrace to the furnace and to be firmly subject by means of the
adjustment screw, by on the load groove. For termination reasons he is advisable to polish
each piece before painted his.

Serpentine of refrigeration:

The water cooling that is needed in the furnace is very easy to make by means of a tube of
copper or aluminum, of approximately 8 mm of diameter, to which serpentine form occurs
him (to see Figure 6). Three complete rounds, wound are sufficient of tight way. He is useful
to give form to the serpentine on a cylinder of smaller diameter than the furnace, with the
intention of which soon it is possible to be installed pressured. Consider that of the firmness
of this adjustment will soon depend the efficiency on the refrigeration.

Bridle of assembly:

On this piece the furnace will settle, by means of a nut turned of one inch and quarter of
diameter and fine step (NF). The bridle is constructed with sheet of 3"steel SAE 1045 x 3/4",
polished (to see Figure 7). The central hole of one inch and quarter of diameter must take
control of the winch, so that the threaded end of the furnace can happen with facility but
without axial movement. The holes of 16 mm of diameter have like purpose the installation
of the main-body columns of the injector. Since other plates (mainly the plates and the
impelling bar of the piston) with holes exist that must be in exact correspondence with
those, he is advisable to make them simultaneously in the end, superposing all the plates. If
milling machine or drilling machine is had the work it will be easier to do.
 6
The winch or lathe can also be used, mounting the work in the car toolholder. Only in case
"it does not have another alternative" uses a table drilling machine, finishing the holes with
calisuar and by hand. Both small holes of 5 mm of diameter are for placing thorns of silver
steel trim, which will settle to prevent the rotation of the dices of anchorage of the injector
handle. Two thorns are needed solely, of about 25 mm in length each one.

Anchorage cubes of the injector arm:

They consist of two prisms that are constructed from steel square bar SAE 1045 of one inch
and average by side. He is advisable to polish them before turning and threading the holes
(it see Figure 8). Squaring is needed exact, specially of the spiral of diameter 5/8"NF, in
order that the main-body columns and those of guide are installed soon in parallel form. The
lateral spiral of diameter 5/16"W will serve to anchor the injector handle.

Impelling bar of the piston:

It is done polishing a sheet of steel SAE 1045 (it see Figure 9). The central hole of average
inch of diameter is so that it can happen, with facility, the threaded end of the piston. The
holes of 8 mm of diameter will serve to install footpaths threaded rods of 5/16"W, which will
act as tops to dose the material load from the hopper (it see Figure 10). The holes threaded
of ø 5/16"W of the ends will allow to anchor the links of traction of the injector handle.
Finally, the orifices of 22 mm of diameter are for installing, in nailed form, individual bronze
bushings nonfriction, which are in Figure 11.

Inyectora handle and links of traction:

They take control of sheet of steel SAE 1010 or 1045. It is used sheet of one inch and
quarter of wide by a quarter of inch of thickness for the same handle and the wide one but
of a eighth of thickness for the links (to see Figure 12).

End of fixation of columns (side injection):

2"angle is constructed to it from an iron piece x 2" and a quarter of inch of thickness of
wing, according to Figure 13. The holes of ø 16 mm, separated nominally 120 mm, will
serve to fix the columns of guide of the impelling bar of the piston, thus they will have to be
perforated taking like reference the true range between the centers from the corresponding
bushings that that one has (to see Figures 9 and 11). The holes threaded of ø 5/16"W are
for installing screws for automotive (SAE 1045) of hexagonal head, fit with Grower washers,
of way so that the ends of the top rods of the dispenser strike in them instead of doing it in
the own end of fixation. Its installation is not essential. We only recommended it in order to
avoid damages in the painting of the machine. If it is chosen not to install such screws,
obvious it will not be necessary to practice the mentioned spiral holes.
 7

Columns of guide of the impelling bar of the piston:

They take control of sinking round and calibrated of steel SAE 1045, of 16 mm of diameter,
threading with the winch the ends to ø 5/8 "NF, according to is indicated in Figure 14. It
must have well-taken care of to obtain a precise trim of the bar in the plate of the winch, in
order that its axis with the one of the spirals agrees.

Main-body columns:

They are constructed with two sections of sinking round and calibrated of diameter steel
SAE 1045 ø 16 mm, threading his ends ø 5/8"NF, by means of the winch and after a careful
trim, as one is in Figure 15.

End of fixation of main-body columns (side closes):

It`s used an iron piece 2" angle and a quarter of inch of thickness of wing (to see Figure
16). The three holes of ø 16 mm will serve to fix the main-body columns and the rejected
bar of the machine. The holes threaded of ø 5/16"W will be used to place individual screws
of one inch in length, with nut and Grower washer, that will act as tops of the operating
lever.

Expulsion bar:

Consists of a section of rod threaded of ø 5/8", according to Figure 17.

Anchorage cubes of the closing:

They are constructed with square steel bar SAE 1045, of one inch and quarter by side,
plished (to see Figure 18). The holes must be in perfect square, reason why it agrees to do
them with the winch.

Main-body columns:

They are constructed with two sections of sinking round and calibrated of diameter steel
SAE 1045 ø 16 mm, threading his ends ø 5/8"NF, by means of the winch and after a careful
trim, as one is in Figure 15.

End of fixation of main-body columns (side closes):

Is used an iron piece 2" angle and a quarter of inch of thickness of wing (to see Figure 16).
The three holes of ø 16 mm will serve to fix the main-body columns and the expultion bar of
the machine. The holes threaded of ø 5/16"W will be used to place individual screws of one
inch in length, with nut and Grower washer, that will act as tops of the operating lever.

Operating lever:
 8
One takes control of sheet of steel SAE 1010 or 1045, of one inch and quarter of wide by a
quarter of inch of thickness. A pair of blend must take place as it is indicated in Figure 19.
The separation of the holes of 10 mm of diameter must exactly be the same one in each
one of the two sheets, reason why it is recommended to perforate them together.

Links of the closing:

Sheet of steel SAE 1010 or 1045 is used, of one inch and quarter of wide by a eighth of
inch of thickness. Four equal pieces are needed, being important that the distance between
the orifices is the same one (to see Figure 20).

Handles:

As much for the handle of injection as for the one of closing, they are constructed to
handles with rod threaded of ø ½ "W, according to Figure 21. Later each rod will be covered
with rubber hose pieces of appropriate length.

Joint of the closing to the movable plate:

One is two made pieces with steel SAE 1045, polished, which imagine in Figure 22.

Support cubes of the plate side fuze:

They are constructed polishing and drilling two pieces of sheet of steel SAE 1045, of one
inch and quarter of wide by one inch of thickness, according to Figure 23.

Bars of support of the plate side fuze:

They consist of four pieces of threaded iron rod of ø 3/8"W (to see Figure 24).

Plates:

They take control of shhet of steel SAE 1045 of four inches wide by three quarters of inch of
thickness, polished, turning and, as far as possible, rectifying (véanse Figures 25 and 26).
Both plates must have bronze bushings antifriction nailed, in order that a smooth sliding is
obtained on the main-body columns of the machine. Such bushings imagine in Figure 27.
We recommended at least these pieces to him by its importance, derives a described
turner. Collate always several budgets.

Columns , holders and large stone bench stringers:

 9

The columns al has supported are destined assembly of the injector on two stringers of iron structural
tube of 40 mm x 40 mm and 1.5 mm of thickness of wall that constitute the large stone bench and
construct turning four pieces of aluminum round bar of 35 mm of diameter, as it is indicated in Figure
28. Figure 29 represents a stringer of the large stone bench. The length of these stringers is of 1,000
mm for the machine and will have to prolong them if it wishes to install a box of command for the
pryometer or the electronics.

Pers:

The joints of the closing need to per or axes that are constructed with silver steel to us of ø
10 mm of diameter, according to Figure 30.

Bushings:

The joints of the injection mechanism require bushings that take control of silver steel of
diameter ø 12.75 mm (to see Figure 31). He is advisable to give them to weather and
tempering. Verify that the bushings can slide without difficulty through the holes of ø ½ "of
the injector handle and the links of traction of the impelling bar of the piston.

Injector Assemble:

Figure 32 shows the first stage of the assemble of the machine, in which the cubes of
anchorage of the injector handle must be pricked to the bridle of assembly of the furnace.
For it a small piece of spiral rod or screw of ø 5/8"NF is useful, in order to center each cube
before finishing pricking it. Once pricked both cubes of anchorage, the main-body columns
will settle, beginning to both insert in them plates previously bushed. Place on the smooth
part of each column, so that they are separated the most possible one of the other so that
there is a suitable parallelism between the two columns.

Soon it places a nut of ø 5/8"NF (SAE 1010), the support of the plate side fuze, two nuts of
ø 5/8" NF (first of steel SAE 1010 and second of SAE 1045) and one Grower washer of ø
5/8", in that order, the threaded end of each main-body column (it see Figure 33). Next
place the bridle of assembly of the furnace, the dices of anchorage of the injector handle
(wiring for it the columns), it inserts the thorns of the cubes and tightens the nut next to the
 14
bridle in each column. Next (to see Figure 34) places a nut of ø 5/8"W (SAE 1045) followed
of a Grower washer of ø 5/8" in each one of the two columns guides of the impelling bar of
the piston. Install the columns to the cubes and tightens each nut. Verify that the sliding of
the impelling bar of the piston is smooth. In this point the armed stage would have been
reached of that shows Figure 35.

Next it installs the joints of the closing to the movable plate, by means of the four Allen
screws of ø ¼ "W x 1". Next, it arms the closing mechanism, according to Figure 36. Once
On guard the anchorage cubes along with the operating lever, before inserting the set in the
main-body columns, nut in each one of them individual nuts of ø 5/8"NF of steel SAE 1010.
Next it places the closing in the columns and put two nuts of ø 5/8"NF, first of SAE 1010 and
second of SAE 1045, in each column. Regulate and you tighten the four nuts of ø ½ "W
(SAE 1045) of the handle of the operating lever so that its movement is smooth. Instal now
a nut of ø 5/8"W (SAE 1045) in the free spiral ends of each one of the columns guides of
the impelling bar of the piston. Now install the ends of fixation to the large stone bench of
each pair of columns. Place Grower washers and nuts (steel SAE 1045) in each spiral,
without tightening. Next present the set over the stringers of the large stone bench.
Regulate and finally it tightens the nuts so that the inferior holes of the ends of fixation are
aligned with those of the stringers.

Next install in the inferior edge of the bridle of assembly of the furnace both screws of
support for the large stone bench, ø 5/16"W x 1 ¼", each one with nut and Grower washer.
put all the possible one, but maintaining the nuts loose. Next, it puts in between the ends of
fixation and the stringers of large stone bench the columns aluminum support. W x 2 places
the screws of ø 5/16"¼" and force it with nuts and Grower washers.

Relax the screws of support of the assembly bridle until their heads touch the large stone
bench stringers and tighten then the nuts. Now put two screws of ø 5/16"W x 1", tops of the
operating lever, in the corresponding end of fixation and from down upwards. Previously, it
places in each screw a nut and a Grower washer. Support the operating lever on the ends
of the screws and, before tightening the nuts, it regulates the height so that the handle is
practically horizontal On guard (to see Figure 37). Next, it installs the links of the closing by
means of corresponding per to us of joint and putting in flat washers. Unite per to us with
Seeger washers, using the special clamps that exist for such aim. Verify the smooth
movement of the movable plate

Now place the expulsora bar according to is indicated in Figure 38. Steel W uses nuts of ø
5/8"SAE 1045. Next it installs the serpentine of refrigeration and the hopper of load in the
furnace, with the piston inside. Install in the assembly bridle and fix it with the nut of ø 1 ¼
"NF. ½ installs the piston in the impelling bar by means of two nuts of ø "W (steel SAE
1010). W also places the rods threaded of ø 5/16"(to see Figure 39). Next put both screws
of ø 5/16"W x 3/8", putting in Grower washers, in the end of fixation, in order to complete
the dispenser. Now it arms to the injector handle and the links of traction of the impelling bar
of the piston, as it is indicated in Figure 40. Verify that the movement of the bar is smooth.

Finally, it installs the resistance firmly type jacket in the frontal end of the furnace, tightening
it, and places the tip. Reached east point, the mechanical part of the machine completely is
armed. We are going to consider the part now electrical, integrated by the timer and the
pryometer.
 15
Timer:

Each cycle of injection suitably controls by means of an only timer, given the simplicity of
the machine. At the moment commercial timers are obtained very economic. It must be able
to select times between 1 and 60 seconds, although it is difficult that the operation of a mold
corresponds to such extreme times. Most usual it is a time of 5 or 6 seconds, for cooled
molds or, and about 30 to 40 seconds when the refrigeration is not very effective or it deals
with injected pieces of heavy wall, for which a greater time of retention is required. The
timer will be started up, in each cycle, by the operating lever. When closing the mold, the
handle acts on microswitch. It agrees to install this last in a plate or aluminum profile
mounted as well in the end of fixation. Although in detail this depends on which is the model
of microswitch which it is had, Figure 41 suggests a way to install it in which one takes
advantage of the top screws of the operating lever. The timer is an electronics equivalent to
a switch with retardation, which connects certain time automatically after microswitch has
been closed. The operator receives the warning of which the selected time to open the mold
has passed, thanks to the ignition of a lamp, the sound of a timbre or both things
simultaneously. The Necessary electrical circuit is outlined in Figure 42.

Pryometer:

For this type of machine two appropriate forms fundamentally exist to control the
temperature, that are the following ones:

a) Pryometer to termocupla and cocking mechanism An electronic pryometer allows to

select the temperature of work and activates or deactivates a cocking mechanism that
closes or opens the circuit of the resistance of heating of way to maintain the temperature of
the furnace sufficiently constant. Termocupla must be located in the furnace, near the
resistance, perforating and threading a blind hole in the wall of that one. If steel SAE 4140
in its construction is used, carries out the spiral before nitrurating. Elaborated pryometers
are not justified more than the mentioned one (type ON-OFF).

b) Source of constant power and thermometer The temperature of the furnace is

established by the electrical power that gives to the resistance an adjustable device
(transforming variable, to dimer, etc.) and the rate of production, which as well this
determining by the timer. That is to say, fixed the work rate and selected the power
(between 0 and 300 Watt) that the feed mechanism gives to the resistance, the temperature
reaches a value of balance that will be able to be ***reflxed mng in a gaseous or similar
bulb thermometer. All the components obtain in the commerce dedicated to controls of
temperature and accessories and instruments for the plastic industry. We advised to this
form of control by its simplicity and greater economy.

Cabinet:

It is practical to install the timer and the pryometer within a mounted small cabinet in the
same machine, which avoids the incomodidad of the connection cables which they would
make lack if the controls were separated.
 16

Photo I shows to the controls of time and temperature in a cabinet that made specially
termoformando lamina of high impact of 3 mm on a wood mold. The instrument of needle of
the used bulb thermometer can be seen, as well as a power outlet (auxiliary exit of the timer
to connect a timbre or lamp), three centers of panel or side lights (one whom it only
indicates if the machine is connected to the 220 provision of Volt of C.A., other than remains
illuminated while the timer is measuring the time and that it is extinguished once passed the
same one, and one third that it controls that the feed mechanism of the resistance is
working), the switches of ignition and the turning knobs of each control.
The large stone bench stringers have been prolonged of way to allow the installation of the
cabinet on four small aluminum columns. The electrical consumption of the machine is
inferior to 2 Amperes, and it does not arrive at 3 Amperes in case two 300 are used
resistance of Watt.

Lubrication:

It is important to maintain lubricated with fat the columns and oiled the joints. Lubrication
periodically also the surfaces nonpainted of the steel pieces, in order to prevent the
oxidation with the same ones.

Operation:

When it fits the force of closing of the machine takes advantage of the expulsora bar to way
reinforcement of the support of the anchorage dices (to see Photo II). Fit the position of the
piston in the impelling bar so that the inyectora handle is in the possible lowest position at
the end of each cycle, in order that the molds can be filled with the pressure of suitable
injection and a minimum manual effort.

Regulate the rods of top of the dispenser so that, when doing to back down the piston, only
it is discovered a portion of the opening of the furnace that is sufficient to load the dose of
material that is needed. If pin-point of a mouth works with a tap mold, without expulsora
plate of tap, it will be necessary that the side fuze of the mold separates of the tip of the
machine in the opening. For it means in the rods of support of the plate can be used, as it
can be seen in Photo III. The movement of the plate is obtained relaxing the nuts that
normally unite the rods on the supports in the work with conventional molds (it see Figure
43). Figure 44 represents the work with a tap mold pin-point of a mouth, without expulsora
plate of tap, having itself including a modified tip that acts like robador or tiracoladas. When
separating the plate, the tip retires the cold tap of the fuze. Finally, by means of a pair of
clamps, the tap of the tip takes off and the cycle of injection can be started again.
 17

Modifications of the capacity of injection of the machine:

The capacity of injection of the machine is, according to its original design, of 6 grams. This
value has been chosen so that the hand effort necessary to operate the injector handle to a
rate of 5 to 10 cycles per minute does not lead to an excessive fatigue. It is possible to
increase until about 10 grams the injection capacity, being maintained the same previous
condition, replacing the piston of 13 mm of diameter by which it has 16 mm (it does not
change the diameter of the threaded part, that must continue being ø ½ "W) and prolonging
the length of the injector handle so that the holes of ø 1/2" are in favor separated of 660
mm, instead of 440 mm of the original design. The only difference that will be observed in
the work will be that it will have increased in 50 % the amplitude of the route of the handle.
Greater dimensions in the diameter of the piston are not recommendable since, when not
existing torp, a sufficiently homogenous plastic of the injectable mass would not be
obtained.

Saving of energy:

Although the electrical consumption of the machine is insignificant when is compared it with
the one of conventional machines, still a little can be reduced more. This will be obtained
covering the furnace with asbestos cardboard previously soaked with water (of way so that
form can be given him). Once dry the asbestos, will take place a smaller dissipation of the
heat of the resistance towards the surrounding air, having been needed then less electrical
power to obtain a same degree of heating of the furnace. Also, the asbestos will reduce the
risk of accidental burns.

Buying a Matrix:

When it decides that product goes has to make, it will need the mold or matrix. Resort to
people with experience in the manufacture of molds for the plastic industry and collate
several budgets. Remember that cheap it leaves expensive, but expensive not always
is better! To the matrix maker it will have to provide to him to certain information respect to
the necessities of the mold and type of injector to use. It is to say that at the time of making
the matrix, the distance between columns, the Maximum opening of the mold would be due
to consider (opening race), injection system (to piston in horizontal table) and finally the
radius of the tip injector (R12).

Of this form the matrix maker will know where to place the system extractor and the
refrigeration of the mold besides to determine the height of the matrix and the amount of
pieces or mouths that can be obtained. We left without clarifying some data so that You
locate them in this manual (take your time and read again all the information), but if at great
length it does not locate them, does not doubt in contacting to us.

This is everything what You need to know about injector TAURO 2004. It does not doubt in
contacting to us or writing to us to consultas@industrias-tauro.com.ar that we will help him
 18
in all doubt that appears to him on armed or the operation of the injector. Also, we can
provide or advise to him, where to become of the parts that You cannot obtain in your
locality.
