Span Your Valves
Chapter 9
9-2
We recommend that you first span your injection pressure valve for
optimum pressure performance. You do this in four parts:
Confirm critical values
Span your injection pressure valves
Test valve linearity with a pressure vs. time injection profile
Set profile pressure alarms
Important: You may omit the subsection Span Your Injection Pressure
Valve below if you have information from molding machine OEMs or
hydraulic valve manufacturers on spanning the working range of valves. If
available for your machine’s injection pressure valve(s), enter valve
spanning values into pressure control limits INC41-44 and proceed to Test
Valve Linearity. First confirm your critical values.
Confirm Critical Values
Important: Confirm that all values you recorded for configuration
(chapter 7) and profiles (chapter 8) are as follows:
