2.6 Hazards and safety measures in connection with hot runner systems
In principle, the operator of the system is subject to the legal obligations for occupational safety. In addition to the safe-
ty instructions in this manual, the safety, accident prevention and environmental protection regulations applicable to the
system‘sareaofusemustbeobserved.Theoperatormustclearlydeneresponsibilitiesandensurethatallsta󰀨operating
the system has read and understood these instructions. Information about hazards must be provided regularly. Protective
equipmentmustbeprovidedforthesta󰀨.Maintenanceintervalsmustbeobserved.
Risk of physical injuries by high pressure or unexpected material leakage
• Unexpected material leakage may result in burns. There is a risk of serious injuries or death and/or
damage to the hot runner.
• There is also a risk of burns, if water gets onto or into the hot runner. If the water reaches dangerous-
ly high temperatures, the metal housing may burst and cause serious injuries due to emerging water
vapour or melting resins.
Safety measures
• Make sure the hot runner system heats up evenly. Particularly for large manifolds it may be necessa-
ry to switch on nozzle and sprue bush heaters at the same time, but later than the manifold heaters.
• Makesurethenozzletipsand/orthegatesarenotblockedbysolidiedresinthathasahighermel-
ting point and that there is no humidity on the hot runner system, e.g. caused by a leaky temperature
control circuit.
Risk of burns
• Hot surfaces
Many components of the hot runner systems get very hot and may cause severe skin burns when
being touched.
• Hot material (plastic melt)
Never touch material leaking from the nozzle/the mould/the hot runner or the material inlet. Even
material that seems to be cooled down already may still be hot inside the core and cause burns.
Safety measures
• Please make sure you wear your personal protective equipment (PPE) when working near or on a
hot runner system. Pay special attention to warnings indicating hot surfaces. All components have
to be cooled down to ambient temperature before you start working. Exceptions to these rules are
explicitly mentioned.

12 2022_01_Operating manual_motion CONTROL SD_EN.indd
Risk of electric shocks
• Danger to life by electric shock.
Touching live surfaces may result in severe or even lethal injuries.
• Always keep water away from live components and the hot runner. There is a risk of short circuits!
Safety measures
• Electrical systems have to be disconnected from the mains and secured against being switched on
again before any work is carried out. Only authorised electricians are allowed to carry out any work
on electrical systems.
• All components have to be connected to a suitable power source according to the wiring diagrams
and in compliance with the applicable local regulations. Injection moulding machine and hot runner
systems have to be grounded.
Risk of physical injuries by suspended / heavy load
• Onlytrainedsta󰀨isauthorisedtooperateliftingdevicesandforklifttrucks.Proceedslowlyandwith
care. Prevent uncontrolled swinging of the load (e. g. the manifold).
Safety measures
• Lifting devices and forklift trucks have to be designed in such a way that they bear the weight and the
size of the hot runner system/manifold. Make sure YOU use the marked lifting points.
Risk of physical injuries by pressurized connecting lines (compressed air, hydraulic oil, water etc.)
• All supply lines to the hot runner and/or the hot runner system or the hot half have to be long enough
topreventanystresswhenthemouldhalvespart.Theymustnotbea󰀨ectedbymovingpartsofthe
mould or of the machine. Prevent the hoses from rubbing over the edges of the mould as they may
be damaged because this will create the risk of a spontaneous leakage of pressurized process media
(pressurised air, hydraulic oil, water).
Safety measures
• Make sure you have depressurized all supply lines before carrying out any work. Only skilled person-
nel is allowed to carry out work on the supply lines. Please wear your personal protective equipment
(PPE).
Risk of physical injuries by sharp edges and corners
• Sharp edges and corners pose a risk of injury, possibly resulting in skin abrasions and cut injuries.
Safety measures
• Make sure you wear protective gloves when working near sharp edges and corners. Proceed with care.
• Make sure the system is clean and free of burrs!
Risk of physical injury by crushing of extremities
• There is risk of injury when lifting heavy loads during assembly. Your hands or other parts of the body
may be crushed.
Safety measures
• Make sure you wear protective gloves to prevent injuries while working close to heavy loads.
• Keep all parts of your body away from danger areas while setting down heavy loads during assem-
bly.

132022_01_Operating manual_motion CONTROL SD_EN.indd

• When starting up the system the operator has to make sure that all electrically operated system compo-
nents are connected to the protective conductor system of the injection moulding machine or are safeguar-
ded by equivalent safety measures before he applies any electric voltage.
• Before switching on a drive system it has to be made sure that the housing is properly connected to ground
potential (PE bar). The earth connections must be installed, even if the drive system is connected only for
testing purposes or for a short period!
5.2 Operating requirements
5.2.1 Technical requirements
An input signal for „release“ sent from the injection moulding machine or the hotrunner controller is necessary to prevent the
system from being operated when it is cold or when the safety door is open.
At least one trigger signal from the injection moulding machine is required to control the drive(s). It triggers the stroke mo-
vement of the drive via the control unit. The „start injection“ signal is preferably used to open the valve pins, alternatively the
„start build-up of clamping force“ or „close mould“ signal can be used. Closing of the valve pins usually takes place at „end of
holding pressure“.
When a signal is applied (+24 V), the drive moves and causes the valve pins to open and to remain in this position. When
the signal is cancelled (0 V), the valve pins close again. If the trigger signal is not made available by the controls of the in-
jection moulding machine as described, an adjustment will have to be made. Further digital or analogue signals can be used
toobtaine.g.complexmotionproles.
The motion CONTROL SD controllers are exclusively designed for the drives mentioned below.
