Span Your Valves
Chapter 9
9-7
Span your flow valve for optimum velocity performance in three parts:
Confirm critical values
Span your injection flow valve
Test valve linearity with a velocity vs. position profile
Important: You may omit the subsection Span Your Injection Flow 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 flow valve, enter valve spanning values into
velocity control limits INC45-48 and proceed to Test Valve Linearity.
First, confirm your critical values.
Confirm Critical Values
Confirm that your recorded configuration values (chapter 7) and profile
values (chapter 8) are correct for the velocity vs. position profile.
Important: Use the following configuration and profile values:
