safety device kit has been installed.
The manufacturer and distributor will not accept responsibility for accidents caused due to failure to
observe this warning.

The technical documentation for the machine is provided in the language of the country of destination
if within the European Economic Community. For multi-lingual countries or those outside the European
Community, the required language should be specified in the customers order.
A.2/ WHAT IS THE BABYPLAST 6/10 AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
The BABYPLAST 6/10 injection moulding machine is the result of thirty years experience working in the
specific fields of plastic injection moulding and mould design and construction.
Research and development, on the machine, began more than eight years ago, in response to an important
area of demand:

-SMALL SERIES PRODUCTION.


-PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT.
-LOW COST OF MOULDS..
-LABORATORY TESTS.
-TECHNICAL TRAINING.

BABYPLAST 6/10 is an ideal solution for producing small plastic-moulded parts, without using multiple
cavity moulds. This is particularly useful when developing prototypes or producing small series of parts.
Owing to the low cost of the moulds used in our machines, in-depth experiments can be carried out before
the final mould for large series production is built.
As a result, both small and medium series can be produced easily, and COMPLETELY AUTONOMOUSLY.

Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We are confident that your BABYPLAST 6/10 machine,
will help you fulfil your application expectations.
When handling and processing any injection moulding materials, the customer must follow the material
manufacturer's instructions very carefully.

The guards and transparent gate should be in the closed position. At this point the user
should open the two protective guards and transparent gate, keep them open for at least 2
secs. and then close them so as to gain access to the next menu and thus start the machine.
If a fault is detected in the gate micro swiches, during the functional or sequence
checks, the machine will go into alarm and start up will be prevented. If the gate check is
successful, the MAIN MENU will appear on the screen (see next page)

ATTENTION! If the machine goes into alarm FAULTY GATE or GUARD SWITCH (n° 06,
07 or 08) during the gate check during start up, switch the machine off and then on again.
If the machine goes into the same alarm while the machine is running, reset the alarm ad
carryout the gate check again but without switching off the machine.This procedure may
be repeated three times after which the machine will go into alarm FAULTY GATE

Check that the previous steps have been carried out exactly and that there are no
water or oil leaks. Also check that the electrical connection is correct.
E.6 / MOULD
The mould is housed in the platens, and should be installed as follows:
A-/ Position the mould halves in the platens and slightly tighten the positioning
grub-screws, found on the sides of the platens.
B-/ Couple the ejection connecting pin, using an M4x20mm Allen head screw, to
the head of the ejection piston.
C-/ Tighten the screws which fix the mould halves to the back of the platens and,
lastly, tighten the side grub-screws.
D-/ The mould halves should protrude from the platens by at least 15 mm.
The cooling system and heating elements should be housed in these mould
halves.

E.8/ STARTING THE MACHINE
The machine is now ready to be started. Check that it has been filled with oil to the
correct level, and that it is connected to the mains correctly.After switching on at the main switch, the
SAFETY GUARDS CHECK must be carried out In order to continue. Before being able to start the
motor, the safety guards must be opened and closed. If a fault is detected with any of the micro
switches, it will not be possible to start the machine. Carryout the following procedures before starting
the injection process:

FIRST:
Install the mould and set the mould closed position, following the instructions in section
E6/ SETTING UP MOULD CLOSURE.

SECOND:
Adjust the plastification temperature in accordance with the specifications indicated by the
manufacturer of the material to be injected. Adjust the injection chamber temperature to approximately
10 °C below the plastification temperature parag. D.1.7a TEMPERATURE SETTINGS (page D0080)
WARNING: There is plastic material in THE INJECTION UNIT which was used for tests during the
manufacturing process. CHECK that this material is compatible with the temperatures at which the
machine is to be programmed.
If the user is not experienced in the transformation of thermoplastics, it is advisable to begin with a
material with a wide temperature range, such as POLYPROPYLENE, POLYSTYRENE,
POLYETHYLENE ABS,etc.so as to obtain best results right from the start.

THIRD:
Set the moulding cycle times. Begin with the injection time based on the volume of the part and
the density of the material used (initially set approximately 1.5 to 3 seconds). Set the cooling time
between 2 and 4 seconds. Decompression should be set between 1 and 2 mm and the material load
should be set according to the volume of material required to fill the mould. The time for the nozzle
backward movement, if required, should be set between 0.1 and 0,2 seconds, the minimum mould
opening should be set depending on the height of the part to produce and ejection should be set
between 0,2 and 0,7 seconds and 2 to 3 strokes.
Parag. D.1.7b TIMES AND SETTINGS (page D0090)

FOURTH
Adjust the injection pressure with the machine in MANUAL MODE. When the motor is switched
on, select the INJECTION function, and keeping key F1 pressed, adjust the injection pressure from 70 to
100 bar and end the injection cycle in manual mode.

FIFTH
Close the material chute on the hopper and load the hopper with enough material to carry out the
required tests. When the various, previously set, temperatures are reached, open the material chute on
the hopper and purge the machine according to section 1.3.4/PURGE
The machine is now ready to produce some parts.

SIXTH
Put the machine in semi-automatic mode and make sure that the transparent guard and covers
are closed. Press the START key. The machine will proceed to complete one cycle. The nozzle may
cool slightly, during the first shots, as it comes into contact with the cold mould. If so, for the first shots
only, increase the nozzle temperature by approximately 5 or 10%.
If good results have been achieved, repeat this process several times in SEMI-AUTOMATIC mode,
adjusting the different machine parameters such as times, tempertures, pressures and material load.
When in the AUTOMATIC cycle, make sure that, at the end of the injection cycle, the injection piston
position is less than 3 mm (cushion), otherwise the machine will go into alarm after 8 cycles.

The parameters quoted in this section are only a guideline, because parameters always depend on the
materials, the mould construction and the volume of the part.

WARNING: Special care should be taken when inflammable and/or explosive materials are used.

F/ MAINTENANCE.
All the materials used iin the construction of BABYPLAST 6/6M have been studied so that
they require minimum maintenance and are easy to replace.

OIL:
The oil and filters must be kept clean and must be replaced within the recommended
periods so that the hydraulic equipment does not wear prematurely.
RECOMMENDED PERIODS FOR OIL CHANGE: = 2000 to 5000 HOURS ( acc. to oil
type) and the FILTER: = 500 HOURS

REFRIGERATION UNIT:
If treated water is used, so as to avoid calcium deposits from forming, no maintenance is
required. If treated water is not used, the system will have to be cleaned according
to the calcium level in the water.

MOVEABLE PARTS:
All the moveable parts, that are subject to friction, are lined with TEFLON, including the
mobile platen with the STD bushings, and therefore, apart from the normal cleaning, no
maintenance is required. (However, the wear on the bushings ought to be checked
regularly).

GASKETS:
All the gaskets are fitted with bronze reinforced PTFE friction strips, and O-ring
seal. Check the that the surfaces correspond before joining.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
Inspect the ventilator in the electrnics compartment, particularly in hot weather, keep the
unit dry and clean, and make sure the connections are well-maintained. Do not use used
parts when replacing elements, especially where FUSES AND TRIACS are concerned.
Electrical maintenance should be carried out by qualified personel only.

HEATING EQUIPMENT:
Seeing as all the heating elements are standard and the thermocouples are independent,
they are easy to maintain. If other thermocouples are used,they should be a ground
isolated "J"-type to avoid disturbances from electrical noise. The Nozzle has an
armoured heating element which is fixed in place by a cup shaped protecive cover.
Keep this assembly as clean as possible and check the condition of wiring regularlyfor
damage etc.

INJECTION CHAMBER
has two 8 x 80 diameter bulb type 200 W heating elements which need to
be checked regularly. Keep this assembly as clean as possible and check the condition
of wiring regularlyfor damage etc.

PLASTIFICATION CHAMBER
The plastification chamber is heated by a - 230V 1000W 37mm diam. heater band
which guarantees an optimal and uniform heat distribution which is essential for
technical polymers. Keep this assembly as clean as possible and check the condition
of wiring regularlyfor damage etc.
