more than 10,000 A RMS symmetrical.
2.4 Machine Cooling Water Specifications
2.4.1 Cooling Water Guidelines
CAUTION!
Failure to abide by these guidelines for tower and chilled water quality could
result in damages to the injection molding system, and may void the warranty.
Cooling water treatment is required to protect,

• molds,
• injection molding machines,
• chillers,
• cooling towers,
• piping, and
other water cooled equipment from corrosion and deposit fouling inside the cooling
channels. Corrosion can lead to water leaks and failure of mold/machine components.
Deposits in the cooling channels reduce heat transfer resulting in:
• reduced efficiencies,
• longer molding cycles,
• reduced part quality,
• increased maintenance,
• increased costs.
Since local water supplies vary widely in quality, Husky recommends that you work
with reputable water treatment company in your area to establish a water treatment
program that is best suited for your needs. A good water treatment program must be
developed specifically for each facility, taking into account the;
• municipal water conditions,
• cooling system design,
• water usage patterns.
Machine Cooling Water Specifications 2–6 v 4.11.1 — March 2007

2.4.2 Cooling Water Treatment Procedure

The first step of a water treatment program is to have a qualified laboratory perform an
analysis of the following.
• Municipal water supply.
• Chilled water system.
• Tower water system.
For a sample report showing the typical criteria of the analysis, see Section 2.4.3,
together with Husky’s recommended values.
Once this analysis is completed, a water treatment specialist can recommend the
appropriate water treatment. This analysis and treatment of the cooling water should
be performed on a regular basis.

may be necessary, but should be reviewed with your water treatment
company.
NOTE: The recommended values above represent conditions under which most
problems associated with poor water quality can be controlled using normal
water treatment additives - THEY DO NOT REPRESENT WATER WHICH
CAN BE USED UNTREATED. Meeting the recommended values does not in
itself guarantee that cooling water will not be corrosive. It is important that all
the metals in the cooling system (steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum,
copper, zinc, nickel plating, etc.) be protected using suitable corrosion
inhibitors.

2.7.1.1 Notes About Oil

1. Hydraulic oils with a high zinc content as part of the anti-wear additive package
(>400 ppm Zn), will most likely experience a corresponding increase in the copper
content as noted in the oil sample over time. While this copper (in solution with the
oil) poses no threat as particulate contamination, it is known that it can increase
the rate of oxidation of the fluid and thus an extremely high content (>100 ppm Cu)
is undesirable.
2. Zinc-free (ashless) oils are gaining popularity in industry. Their alternative anti-
wear additive packages contain no heavy metals. This results in the oils being
considered more environmentally-friendly at time of disposal and as such are
preferred by Husky as a hydraulic fluid. Care must be taken to assure compatibility
when mixing zinc-based fluids with zinc-free alternatives. Contact your oil supplier
for availability of suitable fluids.
3. Group II hydraulic fluids are those which have been formulated to resist the
processes of oxidation and additive depletion. Although being slightly more
expensive, these oils may be preferred by customers who would like to extend the
interval of fluid replacement. Customers should contact their oil supplier for
availability of suitable fluids.
4. Group III (semi-synthetic) and Group IV (synthetic) fluids have been emerging as
preferred upper-tier fluid alternatives for customers who wish to attain maximum
life out of their oil. Customers should contact their oil supplier for availability of
suitable fluids.

5. Husky does not endorse the usage of fire resistant or higher flashpoint hydraulic
oils due to a possible incompatibility with seals and excess wear on hydraulic
components.

v 4.11.1 — March 2007 2–23 Standard Torque Specifications

2.12.1.1 Torque Tolerances

The more accurate the method of controlling tightness the more of the strength of the
fastener can be utilized. The tolerance values specified in this standard pertain to the
tool’s accuracy and not the induced fastener’s load that is affected by other variables
such as lubrication, clamped materials, temperature, etc.
For example, assembly torque wrenches should be calibrated to stay within ± 4%
when applying HGT-50, 80 or 35 and the fastener’s induced load accuracy can be
expected to range from ± 10-20%.
2.12.1.2 Lubricants and Adhesives

Apply the correct lubricant to all threads and contacting surfaces before installation.

2.12.6 HGT-FT Standard (Fittings)

The following tables provide the recommended torque values required for the safe and
effective operation of the fittings using a torque wrench or other methods such as
"Turn From Finger Tight", "Flats From Finger Tight" or "Flats from Wrench
Resistance". For TFFT or FFFT, the joint should be hand tightened snugly and then
tightened with a wrench by the number of flats or turns indicated by the table. For
"FFWR", the joint should be tightened snugly with a wrench and then tightened again
with the same wrench by the number of flats indicated by the table.
Note: The torque method of assembly is the preferred method of assembly. It reduces
the risk of human error during assembly that is more prevalent in the "FFWR" method.
To ensure the most accurate assembly of the fitting, it is strongly recommended that
the torque method be utilized.

using the following instructions. Refer to the Site Preparation Manual for guidelines on
floor preparation and instructions on how to lift the machine.
IMPORTANT!
5 Husky recommends lifting the machine from above with an overhead crane. Do not
exceed the rated capacity of the lifting equipment.
1. If installed, remove the shipping beams that are under the clamp base.
NOTE: On some machines the leveling mounts and the column bell are located in
a box between the stationary and the moving platen.
2. Refer to the installation drawing for the number and location of leveling mounts for
each unit. Note the different types and sizes of leveling mounts.
NOTE: Before installing leveling mounts on the machine, verify that the mounts
are properly threaded by fully inserting the bolt into the mount.
3. Position the unit so that there is approximately 100 mm (4 in) between the floor
and the base (1) – refer to Figure 3-1.
WARNING!
Crushing hazard – risk of death or serious injury. Do not work under suspended
load. To prevent injury, install safety blocks.
4. Position safety blocks and lower the machine onto the safety blocks.
5. Clean the underside of the base where it would make contact with the leveling
mount (2 and 4).
6. Apply grease to the threads of the leveling mount and the bolt (5). For lubricant
specifications, refer to Section 2.8.
7. Attach the locknut (4), lock washer (5) and washer (6) to the bolt, and thread the
bolt into the leveling mount, as shown.
NOTE: Check the leveling mounts are oriented, as shown, in the direction of
movement of the mold stroke column so the dampener can work properly.
8. Spin the leveling mount until the bolt bottoms out.
9. Fasten the locknut (8) so the leveling mount is snug against the base. Do not
tighten the locknut at this stage.
10. Repeat step 5 - step 9 to attach the remaining injection and clamp leveling mounts.
11. Similarly, install leveling mounts under the electrical cabinet.
NOTE: The leveling mounts under the electrical cabinet are smaller in size than
the ones under the injection base.
12. Apply grease to the threads of the leveling mounts and the bolts (5).
13. Assemble the leveling mounts to the mounting brackets on the injection unit (1)
and the clamp unit (3) using the bolts (5), washers (7) and locknuts (8), as shown.
v 4.11.1 — March 2007 3–3 Installing Leveling Mounts

14. Apply grease to the threads of the bolts (5).

15. Attach the mounting brackets to the captive nuts in the base of the electrical
cabinet using the bolts (5) and flat washers (7).
16. Carefully lower the unit to the floor.

1. Check that the purge guard is in the fully open position.
Aligning Injection and Clamp Units (Split Base Models) 3–4 v 4.11.1 — March 2007
WARNING!
Crushing hazard – risk of death or serious injury.
• Improperly balanced loads can make lifting unmanageable. Always use
designated lifting points to lift the machine.
• Use suitable lifting equipment to lift the machine. Exceeding the rated
capacity of lifting equipment can cause injury or death.
• Exercise care when working beside the suspended machine. To prevent
injury, keep hands and fingers out of the way.
2. Position the clamp unit such that the mounting pads (1) are aligned with the flange
(2) on the injection unit. Refer to Figure 3-2.

v 4.11.1 — March 2007 3–5 Aligning Injection and Clamp Units (Split Base Models)
CAUTION!
Risk of damage to the machine. Failure to align the two units properly can
damage the nozzle tip and carriage cylinder.
4. Place a square against the machined surface of the injection rail, and the
machined surface on the injection side of the stationary platen. Check that the
injection unit is perpendicular to the stationary platen. Adjust the clamp unit as
necessary.
5. Attach the mounting bolts (3) and washers (4). Do not fasten the bolts at this time –
they will be fastened once the machine is leveled.
IMPORTANT!
5 Under the static load, the rubber molecules of the leveling mounts gradually change
from a round to an elongated shape, initially in the first 12 hours and finally at about
72 hours. Recheck level and torques to ensure accuracy.
6. Check leveling alignment and torque values at 12 and 72 hours.

7. Slightly raise the stationary platen end of the clamp unit to relieve stress off the
mounting pads. Lower the clamp unit to the floor, and remove lifting slings

all final values in the checklist on Table 3-11.
19. Once completed, proceed to Section 3.21.6.
3.21.3 Preparation for Machine Leveling - Split Base

1. Loosen the SHCS that attach the injection base to the clamp base.
2. Use a feeler gauge to measure the gap between the injection base and the clamp
base on the operator side and non operator side at the top and bottom of the
interface bar.
3. If the gap is not equal, proceed to step 4. If the gap is equal, proceed to step 9.
CAUTION!
Do not force bases together using interface SHCS. Forcing the bases together
using the interface SHCS can result in machine misalignment.
4. Torque the SHCS that attach the injection base to the clamp base.
5. Position the moving platen at maximum daylight and position the injection unit fully
back to reduce the load at the stationary platen end of the clamp.
6. Lift the clamp at the stationary platen end with a suitable crane and lifting slings (if
the crane capacity allows).
7. Lower the machine and loosen the SHCS.
Figure 3-33 Gap
8. Measure the gap between the injection base and the clamp base (Figure 3-33). If
the gaps are not equal, repeat step 4 through step 8.
CAUTION!
The difference between the operator and non operator side (top and bottom of
interface bar) should not be greater than 0.05 mm. Failure to make sure the gaps
are equal can result in machine misalignment.
9. Record final gap measurements in the checklist on Table 3-11.

NOTE: Check the area where the leveling mounts are positioned for cleanliness.
Clean all oil, grease, and wax buildup that is found. Heavily coated areas
should be scraped or sanded back to bare concrete.
10. Make sure that the leveling pads are properly oriented.
NOTE: Leveling pads that are properly oriented have the labels facing outwards
and the pads are in the direction of the mold stroke column movement.
Figure 3-34 Leveling Pad

1 Locknuts 2 3mm minimum protrusion 3 Shim location
11. Loosen the locknuts.

12. Preload all of the leveling pads.
NOTE: The leveling mount pads should protrude 3mm (0.125 in) from the bottom
of the mounts housing. Due to floor irregularities, this condition must only
be set at the highest floor level. The IM-series mounts have a height
adjustment range of 35 mm. For uneven floors add shims as required
between leveling mount and the bottom of base leg to avoid exceeding the
adjustment range.

4.1.5.1 Sidebar Icons Explained

Depending on how a machine is configured it may have numerous icons on the
sidebars. Each icon can represent a specific function, a function group, or some other
machine information. However, the sidebar icons have many common features. Refer
to Table 4-5 for a description of these features.
Table 4-5 Sidebar Icon Features
Icon Description
Function Group Selector

When this icon appears,
• It is always displayed at the top of the sidebar.
• It only appears if the operator presses the sidebar function
group selector key or when the machine starts.
• The icons displayed below always represent the various
function groups.
Function Group
1 2 This icon represents a group of related functions. When it
appears, it can
• Display below the function group selector on the sidebar to
indicate the function group can be selected.
• Display at the top of the sidebar to indicate the icons below
are all part of the same function group.

This icon represents a specific function within a function group (in
this case, mold functions). It can appear anywhere within one of
eight positions below the top one on the sidebar.
1 – LED symbol indicates function on or off.
2 – type of function group (in this case, mold).
3
4 3 – type of function (in this case, auto air).
4 – function number.
NOTE: Some function icons may display more or fewer graphic
elements than shown here.
4.1.5.2 Function Keys and Icon Relationships

The relationship between the sidebar function keys and the sidebar icons is easy to
understand if you think of the function group selector key as a doorway into a large
building with many rooms – each room representing a function group. Each function
group icon is a doorway into a single room that contains all of the functions in that

group. And each function icon represents a single function, or in some cases, machine
process information. The sidebar icons change depending on what function menu is
selected.
The following example (refer to Figure 4-4) describes how to access the manual mold
functions group and set the machine air to automatic.
1 Operator presses function group selector key

to display function groups.
2 Operator presses mold group function key

to display mold functions.
3 Operator presses auto air key to

set mold air on automatic.
5 LED in top left corner of

icon turns green to
indicate function is now
active.
4 Auto air icon background

turns yellow while

pressed.
Figure 4-4 Sidebar Example
NOTE: Sidebar icons vary from machine to machine, depending on the machine’s
configuration and installed options. The only sidebar icons that remain
consistent from machine to machine are the process value and user
configurable sidebar icons, described below.

4.1.5.3 Process Value Icons

Unlike the other icons on the sidebar which allow the operator to start or stop a
machine function, the process value sidebar icons only display real-time machine
process values. When a process value icon is activated, it displays at the top of the
selected sidebar.
The examples below illustrate the clamp and injector process value icons. Refer to
Table 4-6 for details.
NOTE: Depending on how your machine is configured, the sidebars may display more
process value icons than those shown here.

2 4 – Clamp tonnage.
These icons display the real-time process values for the injector
function while in run mode.
1 1 – Injector position
2 – Injector speed
3 – Injector pressure
2 4 – Injector rpm.

4.1.5.4 User Configurable Sidebars

The User Configuration function allows the operator to customize two sidebars (one on
each side of the screen) so that the operator can quickly access frequently used
functions.
For example, the operator might choose to set up machine air functions using the left
sidebar for auto functions and the right sidebar for manual functions. Each operator
has the ability to set up his or her own configurable sidebars.
Press the User Configuration button (as shown above) to display the current user
configuration for the user currently logged onto the machine. Refer to Figure 4-5 for

5.7.3 Installing Molds in Tandem Carriers (H/HL650 – H/HL1000)

The following procedure applies to the installation of two individual standard molds –
stack mold installation is described separately in Section 5.7.4.
NOTE: Automatic services hook-up provisions on the molds may require positioning
the locating ring at the opposite side of the sprue bushing, which affects the
installation procedure. In such cases, first attach the molds to the two platens,
then verify locating ring concentricity during platen closing.
1. Open moving platen to maximum daylight position.
WARNING!
2. Perform Lockout/Tagout procedure – refer to Section 1.6.

3. Verify that sprue bushings are clean and in good condition and that the hot runner
nozzle protrusion matches with the sprue bushing position.
WARNING!

5. Install mold A on the center plate towards the moving platen side with mold halves
locked.
6. Install mold B on the center plate towards the stationary platen side with mold
halves locked.
7. Loosen the clamping bolts on both adjustable linkage bars.
8. Remove locks and tags. Refer to Section 1.6.
9. Close clamp completely.
CAUTION!
Ensure before platen closing that the difference in mold shutheight does not
exceed the linkage bar adjusting range. Failure to do so may result in damage to
the linkage bars.
10. Clamp-up to the required mold close force.

11. Fasten both molds to the moving and stationary platen faces and unlock mold
halves.
12. Tighten all bolts on both adjustable linkage bars and torque as specified on
nameplate.
13. Connect mold services.
14. Complete the mold installation following directions:
• For a first time installation, refer to Section 5.7.2.1, step 12 through step 17.
• For a previously installed mold, refer to Section 5.7.2.3.
5.7.3.1 Single Mold Operation on Machines with Tandem Carrier

There are two ways to operate the clamp with a single mold on a tandem carrier. The
first method can accommodate single molds of the same size as the tandem molds,
while the second method is designed to fit larger single molds.
Method One
1. Install a dummy block of adequate shutheight to meet the linkage bar adjustment
range.
2. Exchange the respective nozzle for an adapter part that closes the melt channel
and takes the reaction forces to ensure that the first nozzle contact is made
correctly.

Method Two
CAUTION!
The following method requires the removal of carriers and linkage system from
the machine. Failure to do so may result in damage to either the carriers or
linkage mechanism.
1. Remove the hot runner. This allows sliding the centerplate (1) past the upper
tiebars.
2. Remove the centerplate from the carrier and attach it to the stationary platen
face (2).
3. Exchange the nozzle for an adapter part that closes the melt channel on the
unused face and takes the reaction forces to ensure that the first nozzle contact is
made correctly.
4. Exchange the front part of the sprue bar for an adaptor to hold the sprue bushing
5. Install a block (3) on the stationary platen face to resist the injection nozzle force
acting on the hot runner.

5.7.4 Stack Mold Installation (H/HL90 – H/HL500)

1. Position moving platen at maximum daylight position.
CAUTION!
Do not dry cycle the machine without having the stack mold attached to the
carriers. This may cause cocking of the carriers and damage to the linkage
bearings.
WARNING!

3. Measure the distance from the mold center, at the keyway slot, to the end of the
sprue bar, and make sure it is below the distance from the stationary platen face to
the carrier centerline (keys).
NOTE: In the event the distance is greater, remove the pins in the main linkage
arm to allow carrier displacement further away from the stationary platen
during mold installation.
WARNING!
Pinching risk – Secure the free ends of linkage bars, or remove the bars
completely. Failure to do so can result in injury to an operator.
4. Secure or remove disconnected linkage bars.
WARNING!
6. Lift the mold with the crane ensuring that the keyways in the mold center plate are
vertical to allow easy assembly with the carriers.
7. Loosen the bolts on the linear bearings on the operator’s side.
8. Install mold by sliding the mold center plate over the keys in the carrier until the
movement bottoms out on the top keys.
9. Torque the bolts on the linear bearings to Husky specifications – refer to
Section 2.12.
10. Connect the mold to the carrier using bolts in all the accessible locations and hand
tighten.

11. Release the mold from the crane.

WARNING!
Possible linkage damage. With adjustable linkage bars, the bolts on the two adjustable
bars must be released slightly to allow individual mold shutheight adjustment without
overloading the linkage bar bushings.
Perform this operation at minimum speed.
The adjustable bars get compressed during platen closing until the first mold touches
the mating platen face, and then expands again until the second mold touches it’s
platen face.

5.7.6 Mold Protection

Mold Protection, incorporating hydraulic and electronic controls, is designed to
minimize the potential for damage of the mold surfaces caused by closing on foreign
objects.
Five input fields on the Clamp Setup Screen are key to achieving optimal mold running
conditions. These input fields include three mold protection and two mold approach
parameters.
• Low Pressure Start (distance).
• Low Pressure (hydraulic pressure).
• Mold Close Deceleration (deceleration).
• Mold Close Final Speed (velocity).
• Part Interference (distance).
Mold protection fields dictate at what position mold protection starts, and how sensitive
its setting is. Mold approach fields dictate how smoothly mold faces come together.
Refer to Table 5-3 for details on mold protection fields.
These operator - entered parameters are based on the following.
• Molded part design.
• Physical mold size.
• Weight.

Figure 5-48 Clamp Setup Screen

1. Mold protection fields
Table 5-3 Mold Protection Fields
Field Description
Low Pressure This setpoint establishes the point in the closing stroke where the normal
Start closing pressure is reduced to a lower "mold protection" pressure.
In Semi and fully Automatic modes, once this setpoint is made, the
moving platen has a preset amount of time to reach the mold close
setpoint. If not, the machine automatically opens back up and a machine
alarm signals a part interference.
• Higher value in this field may cost cycle time.
• Lower value could compromise the effectiveness of mold protection.
Low Pressure This adjusts the mold stroke pressure that is available for mold closing
after the low pressure start setpoint is reached.
• Lower value may cost cycle time or prevent the stroke cylinder from
overcoming normal forces, such as leader pins or cam actions.
• Higher value may compromise the effectiveness of mold protection
and allow the mold to clamp up on obstructions and damage the
mold.
NOTE: Given that later model Husky machines are equipped with ultra
low friction linear bearings on the moving platen, it may still be
possible to close the mold at the minimum mold protection
pressure as long as no obstructions exist. Older systems may
stall out due to the friction of the tie bar bushings and moving
platen support bushings.

Table 5-3 Mold Protection Fields
Field Description
Mold Close This is the deceleration rate of the moving platen during mold close.
Deceleration
Mold Close Final This is the speed of the moving platen at mold close.
Speed
Part This changes the maximum distance between the mold halves for part
Interference interference.
CAUTION!
If Part Interference is set too high, smaller parts may not be
detected resulting in possible damage to the mold.
The mold halves are brought together under Low Pressure until the
distance between them is less than this value before the clamp builds
tonnage.
NOTE: If the mold faces are below this limit and the clamp lock has
clearance to engage, the machine will clamp up.
• Setting this to a higher value will the cause the mold protection to be
less sensitive and clamp up on obstructions.
• Setting this value too low may cause the machine to be over sensitive
and to trip a part interference fault when no obstruction exists.
5.7.6.1 Testing Mold Protection
CAUTION!
The correct setup of the mold protection system greatly reduces the potential
for damage to the mold surfaces due to obstructions between the mold faces.
The mold protection system controls the forces created by the mold stroke cylinder.
The operator should be aware that there are also forces present from mechanical
inertia as a result of the momentum of the moving components.
These forces vary with the mass of the mold and the closing velocities. Be sure to test
the mold protection at the speeds that you plan to run the machine to make sure that
these additional forces do not override the ability of the circuit to protect the mold.
CAUTION!
Use a suitable test material that will not cause damage to the mold or machine
when under tonnage or velocity. Contact your local Husky service
representative or the Central Service Group (CSG) in Bolton if you have any
questions.
1. Place or tape a piece of test material (Husky recommends cardboard or flexible

magnetic strips) on the mold face.
2. For the initial trial,
a. Set all mold close speeds to 30% of maximum.

b. Set the velocity set-points for every 100mm.

c. Set "Low Pressure Start" to 150mm if possible (if a setting that high is not
allowed on the machine, set it to the maximum allowed on that control).
d. Set the mold protection pressure to its minimum value.
3. Place the machine in Dry Cycle mode.
4. Start the pump.
5. Check that the safety gates are closed.
6. Select Semi Automatic mode.
7. Press mold close to extend the stroke cylinder.
The cylinder should stall out and stop when a part interference is detected. After a
three second delay, it should open, and the screen should display a "part
interference" alarm.
8. If the test material shows no signs of contact or compression.
a. Repeatedly close and open the mold while increasing both the close velocity
and mold protection pressure set-points in 5% increments.
b. When the test material shows signs of contact or compression, decrease both
set-points by 5%.
9. Reduce the mold protection "start" setpoint in increments of 5mm until the test
material again shows signs of contact or compression, then increase the setpoint
by 5mm.
10. If the machine stops on a part interference trip and there is no evidence of part
interference:
a. Check for galling of the mold leader pins and bushings.
b. Check for an overheated mold condition that has caused the pins to jam in their
bushings.
5.8 Recalling Machine Setups
Machine setups contain clamp, mold, ejector, pneumatic function, core, standard and

5.13.3 Machine Heats Self-Tuning Procedure

Self tuning can be used to optimize temperature control for the machine, mold, or
nozzle tip heaters. Self tuning allows for greater thermal stability and faster machine
warm up from room temperatures.
Self tuning should be performed when:
• Unsure if the machine has been started before
• The machine is started for the first time (new machine)
• Whenever a heat zone has been modified
• Whenever a mold is replaced or installed
• Self tuning is performed at the factory before the machine is shipped.
Typically, heat zones that are physically adjacent to one another should be tuned
together.
1. Turn OFF mold heats main breaker.

2. Confirm mold type on Heats Setup screen (see Figure 5-59). Disable any zones
that are not required.

4. Make sure that the temperature of all zones is stable; i.e. the temperature of any
zone does not change in five minutes.
5. Turn ON mold cooling.
NOTE: Before starting the self tune procedure, all enabled zones must be
functioning properly. Any zones that do not function properly will cause
faulty parameters for self tune.
6. Turn ON mold heats main breaker and confirm voltages.
7. Confirm that breakers to the individual mold heats zones are ON.

8. Clear any alarms related to the mold heats and mold cooling circuits.
9. Set the temperature set points for all heat zones that need to be tuned to
processing temperature values.
NOTE: Make sure there is a temperature difference of at least 160°C (320°F)
between actual temperature and set point values.

heats Self Tune procedure is in progress, or that the mold heats Self Tune
procedure is complete.
17. During the Self Tune procedure, monitor the outputs to the manifold heaters (which
should be greater than zero - Figure 5-60, item 3), and verify that the manifold
temperature is rising and that there are no related mold heats and mold cooling
alarms (Figure 5-62).
18. If for any reason during the Self Tune procedure there is a faulty zone or a related
alarm (mold heats or mold cooling, power off, breaker tripped alarms), restart the
Self Tune procedure from step 1.
19. If the quality of temperature control is unacceptable (during processing), repeat the
procedure.

7.21 Checking Hydraulic Tank Oil Quality
1 Hydraulic fluid sampling kit (Part number 661218)
2 Oil Sample Acquisition tool (Part Number 739193)
High quality hydraulic oil is essential for optimum machine performance and
dependability. Failure to comply with the recommended guidelines for oil replacement
can result in warranty limitation in the event of hydraulic component failure.
WARNING!
High pressure spray hazard - risk of death or serious injury. High pressure
hydraulic spray can penetrate human tissue causing death or serious injury.
NOTE: Semi-annual oil samples (or every 4000 machine hours) are strongly
recommended to allow for proper trending to be carried out and to monitor and
confirm the health of the oil in the reservoir. Alternatively, we suggest the
annual replacement of the reservoir's fluid.
NOTE: Prior to performing this procedure, the machine must be run for a minimum of
30 minutes to evenly distribute particles within the oil, and must be operating
at normal system temperature.
IMPORTANT!
5 It is extremely important to baseline a sample of the oil when it is new. All

comparisons of the quality of the oil from that point onward will be compared to the
new sample.
1. Clean the outside of port PP1G (1) on the power manifold and connect the
sampling valve (2) – refer to Figure 7-15.
NOTE: The location of port PP1G on the manifold varies depending on machine
type and size. Check your hydraulic schematics for the location of the port.
Checking Hydraulic Tank Oil Quality 7–24 v 4.11.1 — March 2007

Figure 7-15 Oil Quality (Typical)

1 Port PP1G 2 Sampling valve 3 Sampling hose
2. Place the hose end (3) of the sampling valve over a clean container, and turn the
handle on the sampling valve to fully open the valve. Release approximately 1 L
(0.25 gallon) of oil into the container.
NOTE: Do not touch the valve while taking the sample. Touching the valve may
cause particles to loosen and contaminate the sample.
3. Fill a sample bottle with oil, cap it and rinse the sample bottle with the oil. Dump the
oil into the waste container. Do this twice before taking the final sample. Fill the
sample bottle to within 1 cm (.5 in) of the top.
4. Immediately cap the vial containing the sample to prevent the possibility of external
contaminants.
5. Turn the handle on the sampling valve to fully close the valve. Remove the
sampling valve.
6. Attach a label containing the machine serial number, total hours the oil has been
operating, and oil set up temperature to the vial.
7. Place the completed sample into the pre-addressed shipping container and
forward immediately to a Husky recommended fluid analysis service, such as
Wear Check International or Hydac.
NOTE: Maintaining a high quality hydraulic fluid is essential for optimum machine
performance and dependability. If, after detailed failure analysis has been
performed, component failures can be directly linked to degraded oil,
Husky may, at its discretion, choose to revoke warranty of any affected
component.
NOTE: If sourcing your own fluid analysis service, Husky recommends sending
samples to an independent laboratory that does not hold interests in
hydraulic oil sales. Refer to Table 7-2 for hydraulic oil parameters and
particle count.
v 4.11.1 — March 2007 7–25 Checking Hydraulic Tank Oil Quality

CAUTION!
Equipment damage - re-additizing the oil does not provide enough protection to
equipment. Customers found to be doing this can expect warranty limitations or
cancellation in the event of hydraulic component failure.

7.37.3 Check
1. Remove the locks and tags from the machine (refer to Section 1.6.2).
2. Loosen the vent plug from 1 to 1-1/2 turns.
NOTE: Once the hydraulic fluid circulates, air in the system will escape from the
bleed port. After all of the air has escaped, the hydraulic fluid will exit from
the port. At this point, the air in the system is purged and the port can be
closed.
3. Operate the pumps.
4. Observe air bubbles escape from the vent port.
5. Once the air is purged and hydraulic oil emerges from the port, tighten the bleed
plug. Apply a torque of 25 Nm (18 ft. lb.). Clean the oil from the filter housing.
6. Make sure the Low Oil Level Alarm at the HMI is absent.
7. Return the machine to its Normal function mode.
7.38 Replacing the Pilot Oil Filters
The pilot oil filters are integrated into the injection and clamp manifold. Replace them
on every six months or sooner, or at signs of servo valve malfunction, after major
hydraulic component failure, such as pump, hydraulic motor, heat exchanger etc or, as
indicated by oil quality tests.
Even after the hydraulic system has been depressurized and any energy source
locked/tagged out, always use a pressure gauge to verify all pressure has been
removed prior to servicing a hydraulic circuit. It is strongly recommended that the oil
sampling kit be connected to the gauge port of the affected hydraulic manifold and a
small amount of oil be drained from the circuit. The draining happens in a controlled
way due to an installed orifice in the kit.
WARNING!
Be sure to complete the lockout/tagout procedure in accordance with applicable
local codes before performing maintenance activities. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death.

To avoid consequential damage, absolute cleanliness must prevail when opening
the hydraulic circuit. Any time hydraulic hoses or valves are removed/replaced,
hose ends and valve ports must be capped to prevent debris from entering.
Thoroughly examine all components removed from the machine for damage or
missing pieces before replacing such components and reassembling the machine.
Any evidence of missing material poses a risk of contamination of the hydraulic
system and requires a full draining and examination of the hydraulic reservoir and
all related components.

7.48 Changing the Plasticizing Screw on RS135 and larger (H650-

H1000 Only)
7.48.1 Introduction
There are two ways of replacing the plasticizing screw on injection units RS135 and
larger: powered barrel swing or barrel change.
• Powered barrel swing permits changing the screw without removing the barrel
from the injection unit. It is described in Section 7.48.2.
• Barrel change allows removing both barrel and screw from the injection unit, plac-
ing them on a working surface, and removing the screw from there. It is described
in Section 7.50.
NOTE: Barrel change is the only way to replace the barrel and screw on machines
not equipped with powered barrel swing.
CAUTION!
Risk of machine damage. The barrels on machines RS135 and above cannot be
swung out unless the machine is equipped with powered barrel swing. Use
barrel change to remove the barrel and change the screw on machines without
the barrel swing option.
The following procedures contain many safety issues. Read the following instructions
thoroughly before performing either procedure.

5. Reconnect the oil level float switch after verifying the warning alarm. Clear the
alarm by pressing the green cycle start button.
6. Remove one of the oil recovery lines from an inlet port at either the clamp or
injection end of the machine and insert it into a container of oil (Shell Tellus 46 or
approved substitute).
7. Start the pump and go to the oil recovery unit. Check to see that the air supply
solenoid (Figure 7-96, item 4) comes on after 1 minute and air can be heard
blowing out the exhaust silencer port.
8. Verify that the vacuum / pressure gauge (item 6) on the side of the recovery unit is
measuring a vacuum. If there is no vacuum, check the canister (Figure 7-96, item
1) seals for a vacuum leak.
9. Check to see that each of the oil inlet solenoids cap LED’s turn on one after the
other in equal intervals.
10. Determine which of the four ports must be energized so that the oil will be drawn
from the oil container which was placed at the clamp or injection end of the
machine (step 6). Connect one of the energized (light on) oil inlet solenoid caps to
this port solenoid to facilitate filling of the oil recovery reservoir. If one solenoid
times out and becomes de-energized, connect the next one that becomes
energized in the sequence. Continue until reservoir is filled.
NOTE: If the reservoir gauge indicates a vacuum but the unit fails to draw oil
through the selected inlet line, the inlet strainer inside the Y-strainer
(Figure 7-97, item 3) may be plugged and require cleaning. (See
Section 7.5.)

11. To check the strainer, unscrew the strainer retaining nut (item 1) and remove the
strainer. Clean and replace.
12. If this does not clear the problem, there is a possibility the tubing may also be
plugged. To clear the tubing, remove the end from the filter inlet (item 2) and blow
air through it. Make sure the air flows freely out the other end of the tube.
13. If the assembly still fails to draw fluid after carrying out step 11 and step 12, there
may be a defect in the applicable inlet solenoid valve. Switch to another solenoid
valve to confirm this.
v 4.11.1 — March 2007 7–139 Oil Recovery Unit Functional Check

14. When the reservoir is filled and the blow down solenoid LED (Figure 7-96, item 3)
turns on, go to the HMI and wait for the warning alarm to come on for Oil Purge Too
Long. The alarm should appear after 90 seconds. None of the vacuum inlet
solenoids should be on during blow down.
15. Stop then restart the pump and press the green cycle start button. This will clear
the alarm and restart the blow down sequence.
NOTE: Perform next step immediately.
16. Go to the recovery system and reconnect the blow down solenoid (Figure 7-96,
item 3). The blow down should commence. It should finish when the float reaches
the bottom. The vacuum recovery sequence should resume again.
17. If step 15 does not happen within 30 seconds, the blow-down filter (Figure 7-98,
item 1) may be blocked. Unscrew the filter body (item 2) and replace the filter
inside. (See Section 7.4.)

Chapter 8 Controls
This chapter discusses PC controls and the various components of the PC controls
system.
8.1 PC Control System
The heart of the PC controls system consists of an IPC, or industrial PC (1), which
runs an automation software called TwinCAT. TwinCAT controls the various devices on
the machine through serial fieldbuses such as SERCOS and PROFIBUS – refer to
Figure 8-1. The user interacts with the machine through the touch screen HMI (2). The
HMI is discussed in Chapter 4—User Interface.
The servo motor (3) which drives the plasticizing screw is controlled by a servo drive
(4) connected to the SERCOS fieldbus. The optional robot is also controlled through
the SERCOS fieldbus. All analog and digital field devices used on the machine are
connected to the PROFIBUS fieldbus through bus terminal systems (5).
Thermocouples are connected to the PROFIBUS fieldbus through TC-Plugs (6), and
displacement transducers (7) are connected directly to the PROFIBUS fieldbus.
Fieldbuses allow rapid data exchange between the PC and the decentralized field
input and output devices. Up to 8 servo drive controllers can be connected to the
SERCOS fieldbus, and 126 PROFIBUS devices can be connected to the PROFIBUS
fieldbus.
The industrial PC can also be connected to a LAN, and accessed remotely. Through a
connection to a WAN the industrial PC can also be accessed through the Internet/
Intranet or by satellite for remote diagnostics.

8.1.4.1 PROFIBUS Bus Coupler
8.1.4.1.1 Beckhoff BK3150 Bus Coupler

The BK3150 handles both digital and analog signals.
Power Supply Status LEDs: The green LED (1), and LED (2) indicate the status of the
24 V power supply of the bus coupler, and the supply to the bus terminals via the K-
bus contacts (3) – refer to Figure 8-10.
Terminal Bus Status LEDs: indicate the operating status of the terminal bus (K-bus),
and the connections to the bus terminals. The green I/O RUN LED lights up to indicate
fault-free operation. The red bus terminal I/O ERROR LED flashes to indicate an error.
The red LED uses two different flash rates in a specific sequence to indicate the start
of error code, type of error, and location of error as follows:
Rapid flash (start of error code) > First slow flash (type of error) > Second slow flash
(location of error).

NOTE: The bus coupler will carry on flashing the error code even when the fault has
been cleared. The bus coupler will remain in "Stop" mode, and the only way to
restart it is to switch the power off, and on again.

8.1.4.2 PROFIBUS Bus Terminal

The PROFIBUS bus terminal is the decentralized link between the PC and the field
devices. The field device input/output is connected to the bus terminal, and does not
need to be wired directly to the PC. There are different types of bus terminals to
handle different types of connections – analog, digital, relay and direct sensors.
8.1.5 TC-Plug
The TC-plug is a PROFIBUS slave device to which thermocouples can be connected.
Internally it is a bus terminal system with a bus coupler and a few analog input bus
terminals.

Fieldbus Status LEDs: The RUN LED (1) lights up when the fieldbus is functioning
normally – refer to Figure 8-11. The BF (Bus Failure) LED (2) lights up when there is a
fieldbus failure. The ERR (Error) LED flashes to indicate the error diagnostic. The ERR
LED uses two different flash rates in a specific sequence to indicate the start of error
code, type of error, and error code argument as follows:
Rapid flash (start of error code) > First slow flash (type of error) > Second slow flash
(error code argument).
Thermocouple Status LEDs: The green TC RUN LED (4) lights up to indicate fault-free
operation. The red TC ERR LED (5) flashes to indicate a thermocouple input error.
The TC LED uses two different flash rates in a specific sequence to indicate the start
of error code, error code, and error code argument as follows:
Rapid flash (start of error code) > First slow flash (error code) > Second slow flash
(error code argument).
NOTE: In the event of an open circuit (such as a wire break, disconnected wire, an out
of range error, or back voltage error) the error code argument is the error
location.

Machine Manual Statistical Process Control (SPC)
Chapter 9 Statistical Process Control (SPC)
The optional SPC screens are available when the Statistical Process Control (SPC)
option package is purchased. SPC is a tool that applies basic statistical analysis to
monitor processes. It assists to diagnose and pin point quality and productivity
problems.
The SPC program monitors a process and determines when it has deviated from the
process standard. A process is considered to be deviated from the standard when one
or more monitored SPC variables are outside specified operating ranges. An operator
can define a course of action for each variable when it deviates from the process
standard (e.g., turn on the SPC alarm light, stop the machine, or turn on an auxiliary
output).
9.1 SPC Quick Start
Use the following instructions to quickly set up and run SPC. For a detailed description
of all the features of SPC read Section 9.8, and the individual SPC screens.
1. First select SPC variables for monitoring.
Press <SPC> key, then select the SETUP tab. Select the field beside each
variable to select it. You can choose variables from the list of process variables
displayed on the screen. Refer to Section 9.6 for details.
2. Specify Sample Size and Sampling Period.
The default Sample Size and Sampling Period are 5 and 15 respectively. A
Sample Size of 5 means that 5 consecutive machine cycles make up a sample. A
Sampling Period of 15 means that after one sample is collected, there is a 10 cycle
pause before the next sample is collected.
To change the default sample settings, press <SPC> key and select the SETUP
tab. Refer to Section 9.6 for details.
3. Produce "good" parts, and reset all SPC variables so the SPC program can
automatically set specification limits based on "good" parts.
Start up the machine, and adjust the process until part quality is satisfactory.
Press <SPC> key, then select the DETAILS tab. Select the Reset All Variables
button on the DISTRIBUTION AND TREND tab.
4. Sample the process, and allow the process to settle.
v 4.11.1 — March 2007 9–1 SPC Quick Start

Data points will appear on the control charts as samples are collected. When at
least two samples have been collected, control limits will appear on the control
charts as horizontal red lines, and 3σ limits will appear on the Trend chart as
horizontal purple lines. At the default sampling period setting, control limits will
appear about 30 cycles after the machine starts.
NOTE: Initially, the control limits and 3σ limits will not be very accurate. It will take
some time for them to settle (usually within 10 to 25 samples, depending
on the sampling period).
5. Select specification limits to be set automatically.
After the machine produces "good" parts, and the process has settled, select the
Set All Limits button on the DETAILS screen. Before changing limits, the program
displays a prompt. Select Yes to confirm the change.
The specification limits appear as horizontal yellow lines on Trend charts.
6. Configure SPC alarms for each monitored SPC variable.
Press <SPC> key, then select the SETUP tab. Refer to Section 9.6 to enable
specification and control alarms for monitored variables.
At this point you should have a working SPC package. The SUMMARY, DETAILS and
GROUP screens can be used to check monitored SPC variables. The HISTORY
screen can be used to display historical data for all SPC variables.
After setting up the basic SPC package, there are some additional steps that can be
set up.
1. Specify known control limits for monitored SPC variables.
When a set of Xbar and R/s chart control limits is available for a known batch of
good parts, it may be suitable to monitor machine variations against these known
control limits, rather than have the SPC program calculate them automatically.
Press <SPC> key, then select the CTRL LIMITS tab. Refer to Section 9.7 to set
control limits.
2. Enter known upper and lower specification limits for monitored SPC variables.
When a set of Trend specification limits is available for a known batch of good
parts, it may be suitable to monitor machine variations against these known
specification limits, rather than have the SPC program calculate them
automatically.
Refer to Section 9.3 to enter specification limits for any of the monitored variables.

Table 9-1 Summary Screen Descriptions
Field Description
Variables Displays a list of monitored SPC variables.
LSL and USL The Lower Specification Limits (LSL) and Upper Specification
Limits (USL) list the lower and upper specification limits for each
SPC variable. The specification limits are usually set
automatically using the Set Limits or Set All Limits functions on
the DETAIL screen. However, it is also possible to enter LSL
and USL values in the SUMMARY screen by selecting the
individual fields. A numeric touchpad appears when a field is
selected.
If both specification limits are zero, the SPC program assumes
that the limits are not defined and the limit values are greyed
out.
If the value of a SPC variable is greater than its USL, then its
USL value turns red.
If the value of a SPC variable is less than its LSL, then its LSL
value turns red.
Actual Displays the most recent values of monitored SPC variables.

For process variables, the value displayed is the value from the
last machine cycle. For part variables, the value displayed is the
most recently entered value.
Cpk Displays the current Cpk value for each SPC variable. Cpk will
be zero if either the control limits or specification limits are not
defined for a variable. Cpk is recalculated whenever a new
sample is collected.
If the Cpk value of an SPC variable is less than the Cpk
threshold, its Cpk value turns red.
In Ctrl This column displays the status of the listed variables. The
indicators are color coded as follows:
• Dark grey = first two samples have not been collected
• Green = the variable is in statistical control
• Red = the variable is out of statistical control
SPC Alarms status The three indicators at the bottom of the screen show the
current state of the Machine Stop, SPC alarm light, and auxiliary
outputs. One or more of these indicators may be turned on
when a specification alarm occurs. The indicators are color
coded as follows:
• Green = functioning normally
• Red = machine/auxiliary devices stopped, and SPC alarm
light on
Cycle Number Displays the number of the current machine cycle. This number
is used to correlate part data with process data.
Alarm Delay Displays the number of cycles that the SPC program will wait
before taking alarm measures when the machine is in Auto
cycle mode.

two fields to the left of the chart display the 3σ values.
DETAILS Screen 9–6 v 4.11.1 — March 2007

The Xbar average value is displayed graphically as a green horizontal line, and the
numeric value is also displayed in the output field to the left of the chart.
For process variables, the Xbar average and 3σ limits are only displayed over a 25
sample data range. This is intended to show that the values of these lines are based
only on the data that the program displays in the Xbar control chart.
The SPC program shows sampled readings in purple, and the remaining readings in
white. If the sampling period is equal to the sampling size, all readings are purple.
The chart displays the most recent variable value and the variable’s Cpk in "Current"
and "Cpk" fields across the top of the trend chart.
The Distribution histogram shows the distribution of data points currently displayed on
the trend chart. The vertical range for the variable’s distribution is the same as the
range for the trend chart.
A number of the SPC calculations assume that the distribution for a variable is bell
shaped, showing a Normal distribution. This assumption is correct in most cases and
can be easily verified by visually checking the shape of the distribution. If a variable
does not have a Normal distribution, the SPC program may be unable to correctly
determine whether or not it is in a state of statistical control.

9.3.2 XBAR AND R/s Screen

The Xbar and R/s control charts are displayed in their own tab on the DETAILS
screen. These charts graphically display the averages, ranges or standard deviations
of the samples, which let the operator determine if a variable is in a state of statistical
control.
The Xbar and R/s screen allows the operator to specify Xbar and R/s chart control limit
values for SPC variables rather than have the SPC program calculate it automatically.
This is useful when a set of control limits is available for a known process. The
machine variations can then be monitored against these known control limits.
Press <SPC> key, select the DETAILS tab, then select the XBAR and R/s tab. Refer to
Figure 9-3.
Figure 9-3 XBAR and R/S Screen
The current variable’s Upper and Lower Control Limits are displayed graphically as
two red horizontal lines, and the Xbar average value is displayed as a green horizontal
line. The numeric values corresponding to these lines are also displayed in the output
fields to the left of the chart.
Below each chart there are two time stamps which display event time in HH:MM:SS
format. The time stamps display the time of the oldest displayed sample, and the most
recent sample. The elapsed time between the most recent sample and the oldest
displayed sample is displayed between the two time stamps.
Although the horizontal axis displays the time spanned by the control chart, the SPC
program does not plot the samples by time. The samples are plotted so that there is
equal space between samples.

9.4 HISTORY Screen
The HISTORY screen allows an operator to select up to three SPC variables for
extended display. These variables can be any of the defined SPC variables, and not
just the monitored variables. However, the variable must still be defined on the SETUP
screen before it can be selected here.
Press <SPC> key, then select the HISTORY tab. Refer to Figure 9-4.
Figure 9-4 HISTORY Screen
The information displayed on this screen is read from the Data and Event Logs. The
Event Log contains the previous 20,000 events. The Data Log contains SPC variable

HISTORY Screen 9–10 v 4.11.1 — March 2007

The upper area of the screen is divided into three panels. Each panel can graphically
display one SPC variable. Any configured variable (selected on the SETUP screen)
can be viewed on the HISTORY screen even if it is currently not monitored. Up to 48
hours of data can be viewed at any time. However, if the number of data points
exceeds the available pixels in the panel some data points may not be visible.
Each chart can be a trend, Xbar, or R/s chart. The horizontal axis represents time, and
the vertical axis represent the variable data. The two output fields to the left of each
panel display the range of the vertical axis. The fields just below the charting area
show the time range of the charts. The three charts always cover the same time range.
Each chart displays a horizontal line (at the midpoint) marking the middle of the
vertical range.
Trend data are shown as connected purple lines. If data points are not sufficiently
close together, a gap appears on the chart. Isolated data points appear as purple dots.
Xbar or R/s data appear as purple (bright magenta) dots connected by purple lines.
These data points are always connected, even across substantial gaps in the data.
Recent Xbar and R/s data are synchronized with the Xbar, R/s charts shown on the
DETAIL screen. This synchronization is maintained across machine mode changes,
but not across a machine shutdown.
When a monitored variable is plotted, the current limits of the variable are
superimposed on the data according to the following scheme:
Trend – specification limit
Xbar – current Xbar control limit
R or s – current R or s control limits
NOTE: For the limits to be visible, the variable must be monitored and have
appropriate control limits. The limits are not updated dynamically. They are
redrawn whenever a search is started, or if the operator moves to another
screen and returns back to it.

9.8 SPC Concepts
9.8.1 Functional Overview

The SPC program monitors a process and determines when it has deviated from the
process standard. A process is considered to have deviated from the standard when
one or more monitored SPC variables are outside specified operating ranges.
When a process has deviated from the process standard, an operator can define a
course of action, such as turn on the SPC alarm light, stop the machine, or turn on an
auxiliary output.
The SPC allows an operator to do the following.
• Select SPC variables to monitor from a list of process variables.
• View a summary of monitored SPC variables, their process limits, process capabil-
ity (Cpk), and state of statistical control.
• "Learn" the process standard, and monitor machine performance based on a set of
process criteria.
• View a 400-cycle trend for each monitored variable, the process average, the
"spread", the specification limits, and the Cpk.
• View process averages (Xbar chart), process variability (R/s chart), and current
control limits.
• Specify fixed control limits for Xbar and R/s charts for any monitored variable
• Be alerted to changes in the process with Xbar statistical control tests (samples
outside the control limits, trends, runs, alternating data).
SPC Concepts 9–20 v 4.11.1 — March 2007

• Specify for each monitored variable the alarm action to take when the process is
out of control.
• View Trend, Xbar, R/s charts simultaneously for all monitored variables.
• View Trend, Xbar, R/s data along with machine mode and setpoint change infor-
mation for any SPC variable from the previous 10,000 cycles.
• View the historic log of SPC warnings and alarms.
• Archive a Data Log containing process data for off-line analysis.
9.8.2 SPC Variables

The SPC program can provide statistical analysis for process variables.
A process variable tracks machine performance at the end of each machine cycle.
Process variable examples are Cycle Time, Clamp Tonnage, Screw Speed, etc.
9.8.3 Monitoring Variables

The SPC program can contain numerous process variables. By default, data for all
SPC variables are collected and logged to the Data Log.
In order to monitor SPC variables, they must be selected or defined. Process variables
are selected and configured on the SETUP screen.
The SPC program can simultaneously monitor numerous SPC variables. After
variables have been selected or defined, all SPC functions are applied to those
variables. The data are trended, control charts are plotted, and alarms are activated
when a process has deviated from the process standard.
9.8.4 Machine Cycles and Sampling

The SPC program examines process variables at the end of every machine cycle. A
single process variable value is called a Reading. For some calculations, the SPC
program groups Readings into Samples. The operator can configure the size of
samples and how often to take samples.
For example, a Sample Size of 5 means that 5 consecutive machine cycles make up a
sample. A Sampling Period of 15 means that after one sample is collected, there is a
10 cycle pause before the next sample is collected.
As another example, a Sample Size of 5 and a Sampling Period of 5 indicates that 5
consecutive cycles make up a sample, and the next sample is taken immediately
afterwards without any pause.
Each machine cycle is numbered, and this information is used to correlate part
information with process information.
v 4.11.1 — March 2007 9–21 SPC Concepts

9.8.5 Trend and Distribution Charts

Trend charts graphically display SPC variable data for the last 400 machine cycles.
The Trend charts indicate "spread" of the readings by plotting +3σ and -3σ limits. The
spread indicates the statistical upper and lower ranges for the trend. 99.7% of
readings should fall between the two limits. Refer to Figure 9-8.

-3σ
400 cycles

Trend Chart Distribution Chart
Figure 9-8 Trend and Distribution Charts
A Distribution chart divides the range of readings into sub-ranges and displays them
graphically. Refer to Figure 9-8. The Distribution chart indicates where most of the
values in the trend fall, and if they are concentrated in a narrow band or distributed
evenly.
For example, consider a set of data that varies between 1500 and 1800 units. A
Distribution chart divides the range of values into 30 sub-ranges each 10 units wide,
and displays the data distribution as shown in Figure 9-8.
A number of SPC calculations assume that the data follows a bell-shaped Normal (or
Gaussian) distribution. This assumption is correct in most cases, and can be easily
verified by visually checking the shape of the distribution.
9.8.6 Process Variability

SPC variable readings vary from machine cycle to machine cycle. Every process
exhibits some degree of variability. Variability is the result of common causes and
assignable causes.
Common causes cannot be changed without altering the manufacturing process.
Measurement methods, and inherent repeatability limitations in mechanical
components such as hydraulic valves are examples of common causes.
An assignable cause may be detected and identified. Changes in material properties,
environmental conditions, and tool wear are some examples of assignable causes.

9.8.7 Specification Limits and Standards

Specification limits define the desired range for a process. When a process variable is
outside the range, the operator can configure the machine to turn on the SPC warning
light, and/or stop the machine, and/or turn on the auxiliary output.
For example, if it is known that transition pressure must be between 1500 and 1800 psi
in order to properly mold a part, then an operator may choose to stop the machine and
check the actual transition pressure.
The SPC program has a "learn specification limits" feature, which simplifies setting of
standards.
If the process varies from the standard, part quality may or may not be affected. The
operator can then determine how the change in process affected the part quality, and if
specification limits should be widened or narrowed.
NOTE: When saving or recalling machine setups, SPC specification limits and
configurations are included in the machine setup data.
9.8.8 Process Quality Factor (Cpk)

The process capability index (Cpk) for a process variable is a measure of the deviation
from the specification limits. The larger the Cpk number, the further away the
specification limits are from the current operating range for the process.
Cpk is defined as the ratio between the distance from the nearest specification limit to
the current process average, and the 3σ limit of the process variable.
USL – X-
Cpk = --------------------
3σˆ
or,
Cpk = X – LSL-
-------------------
3σˆ
Refer to Section 9.8.13 for details.

In the example in Figure 9-9, the process spread is ± 50 psi. The process can deviate
100 psi up or down before the specification limits are exceeded.

9.8.9 Control Charts

Control charts display the average and range of process variable samples. The
sample average consists of the sum of the readings in the sample divided by the
number of readings. The sample range is the difference between the lowest and
highest reading.
9.8.10 Xbar Charts

The purpose of Xbar charts is to determine if the process is in a "state of statistical
control". The process is in "control" if all samples behave in a "random" manner, and
therefore the variation in the process is most likely due to inherent process limitations
(common causes).

The SPC program looks for patterns in the Xbar charts that indicate that the variability
in the process is not random, and may be due to problems that can be rectified.
The Upper Control Limit (UCL) and Lower Control Limit (LCL) define the spread of the
sample averages. Refer to Figure 9-15. If the variation in the process is random, in
almost all cases (99.7%) the averages should fall within the control limits.

The SPC program looks for the following patterns.

• Limits – one sample average outside the control limits.
• Run – nine or more consecutive averages above or below the Xbar average.
• Trend – six or more consecutive averages trending upward or downward.
• Alternating data – fourteen or more consecutive alternating Xbar points.

The purpose of the Range (R) or Standard Deviation (s) chart is to display the process
variability by plotting the sample ranges. If the sample size is 10 or less, the program
calculates the range "R" as the measure of sample variability. For sample sizes
greater than 10, the range calculation does not accurately represent the sample
variability. In such cases, the program calculates the standard deviation "s" as a
measure of sample variability.
Figure 9-20 shows an example of an R/s chart.

The range of a sample is defined as the difference between the lowest and highest
readings. For example, the range for a sample of 5 readings 1550, 1599, 1571, 1583
and 1499 is 100.
Sample range, R = largest observation - smallest observation.
The standard deviation of a sample is defined as the square root of the sum of squares
of the difference between readings and the sample average, divided by the number of
readings less 1.

s = ∑ ( Xi – X ) ⁄ (n – 1)
If the difference between the low and high sample values varies significantly, the
process variability is changing and may be a problem. The R/s chart samples should
not cross the upper control limit (UCL) on the range chart.
Figure 9-21 shows how changes in the homogeneity of incoming material may show
up as changes in process variability on the R/s chart.

NOTE: The R chart shows the "spread" of the process, and is not affected by changes
in the process average. For example, if the process average of a process that
is in control changes from 1500 psi to 1600 psi, the change will be indicated in
the Trend and Xbar charts, but not in the R chart. However, if the process
average remains the same, but the "spread" changes, the Trend and R chart
will reflect the change, but not the Xbar chart.
The control charts display about 25 sample averages. The program calculates the
chart limits, and checks for patterns whenever a new sample becomes available. The
charts provide a window of 25 samples into the process, and reflect the current state of
the process. In contrast, the specification limits provide a fixed frame of reference
against which the current process "window" may be compared.
9.8.12 SPC Alarms

The SPC program generates up to four machine alarms. The operator can define
which variables should be monitored for alarm conditions, and what the SPC program
should do if there is an alarm.
The operator configures alarms on the SETUP screen. For each of the monitored
variables, the operator can configure the SPC program to turn on the SPC warning
light, and/or stop the machine, and/or turn on an auxiliary output when the
specification limits are exceeded. The SUMMARY screen summarizes the alarm
settings for the SPC variables.
When an alarm occurs, an alarm message is displayed on the ALARMS screen, and a
more specific message is logged to the Event Log. When the alarm is cleared, an
alarm off message is also added to the Event Log.
Table 9-10 lists the different SPC alarm types.
Table 9-10 SPC Alarm Types

SPC cycle interruption "The machine has been stopped because of a SPC
specification limit or Cpk threshold alarm".

9.8.13 SPC Formulas

The following is a list of formulas used by the SPC program:
1. Sample Average, Xbar
∑ Xi
X = ------------
n
where Xi is the process variable reading, n is the number of readings in the
sample.
2. Xbar chart average, X
∑X
X = ----------
k
where k is the number of samples in the Xbar or R/s chart

3. Xbar chart control limits – see range chart
UCL x – bar = X + A 2 ( R )
LCL x – bar = X – A 2 ( R )
where A2 is a control chart factor – see Table 9-11, R is range chart average
4. Xbar control limits – see standard deviation chart
UCL x – bar = X + A 3 ( s )
LCL x – bar = X – A 3 ( s )
where A3 is a control chart factor – see Table 9-11

5. Range chart (for sample size ≤ 10)
Sample range, R = largest observation minus smallest observation
Range chart average, R
∑R
R = ----------
k
where k is the number of samples in the Xbar or R/s chart

6. Range chart control limits

UCLrange = D4(R)
LCLrange = D3(R)
where D3, D4 are control chart factors – see Table 9-11
7. Sigma (population estimate),
R-
σ̂ = ----
d2
where d2 is a control chart factor – see Table 9-11

8. Standard deviation (s) chart (for sample size >10)
2
s = ∑ ( Xi – X ) ⁄ (n – 1)
where Xi is process variable reading, X is sample average, and n is number of

readings in the sample
9. Standard deviation chart average, s
∑s
s = ---------
k
where k is the number of samples in the S chart

10. Standard deviation chart control limits
UCLs = B4(s)
LCLs = B3(s)
where B3, B4 are control chart factors – see Table 9-11
11. Sigma (population estimate),
s-
σ̂ = ----
c4
where c4 is a control chart factor – see Table 9-11

12. Process Capability (Cpk)
USL – X-
Cpk = --------------------
