Span Your Valves
Chapter 9
9-3
We recommend that you first span your low pressure close pressure valve
for optimum pressure performance. You do this in five parts:
Confirm critical values
Span your low pressure close pressure valve
Test value linearity with a low pressure close (LPC) profile
Set up tonnage (hydraulic clamps) or holding pressure (toggle clamps)
Set the profile pressure alarm
Important: You may omit the next four parts of this section if you have
the right information on valve spanning. Many injection molding machine
OEMs and hydraulic valve manufacturers provide data on spanning the
working range of valves used on their machines. If this information is
available from your OEM for your machine’s low pressure close valve,
enter the values into pressure control limits LPC41-44 and proceed to Set
the Profile Pressure Alarm.
Confirm Critical Values
Important: Confirm that your configuration values (chapter 7) and profile
values (chapter 8) for the low pressure close profile are as follows:
