A.2/ WHAT IS A BABYPLAST UAI I/10P INJECTION UNIT AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
The UAI I/10P is the result of thirty years experience working in the specific fields of plastic injection moulding
and mould design and construction.
Research and development, on the machine, began more than two years ago, in response to an important area
of demand:
-PRODUCTION OF MULTI-COMPONENT PARTS
-PRODUCTION OF MUTI-COLOUR PARTS
-INTEGRATION OF AN INJECTION UNIT IN A PRODUCTION LINE
The UAI I/10P can be used to transform an injection moulding machine into a multi component injection moulding
machine at a relatively low cost and occupying little space.
Thanks to the possibility to apply the injection unit to almost any part of the mould, the construction of the mould
for the production of multi coloured or multi component parts can be considerably simplified and cost reduced.
The UAI I/10P can be installed directly onto a production line for injecting plastic into a component in the production
line.
The UAI I/10P is COMPLETELY AUTONOMOUS and, thanks to a digital interface with free contacts, can be made
to work in synchronisation with almost any type of machine.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us. We are confident that your UAI I/10P injection unit, will help you fulfil
your application expectations.
When handling and processing any injection moulding materials, the customer must follow the material
manufacturer's instructions with great care.

STARTING THE MACHINE


The machine is now ready to be started. Check that it has been filled with oil to the correct level, and that
it is connected to the mains correctly.
FIRST:
Adjust the plastification temperature in accordance with the specifications indicated by the
manufacturer of the material to be injected. Adjust the injection chamber temperature to approximately
5/10 C below the plastification temperature parag. D.1.6a TEMPERATURE SETTINGS (page D0070)
WARNING: There is plastic material in THE INJECTION UNIT which was used for tests during the
manufacturing process. MAKE SURE that this material is compatible with the temperatures at which the
machine is to be programmed. If the user is not experienced in the transformation of thermoplastics, it is
advisable to begin with a material with a wide temperature range, such as POLYPROPYLENE,
POLYSTYRENE, POLYETHYLENE ABS,etc.so as to obtain best results right from the start.
SECOND:
Set the shot size based on the volume of the part, the cooling time between 2 and 4 seconds, the 1st
injection pressure at approx. 50/60 bar and a time for the 1st injection pressure depending on the volume of
the part to produce and the density of the material used (start with 1.5 - 3 seconds for example).
Decompression should be set between 1 and 2 mm Parag. D.1.6b3 INJECTION SETTINGS (page D-0110)
THIRD:
Set sprue break time, if required, from 0.1 to 0.2 secs. see INJECTION CARRIAGE TIME parag. D1.6b1
(page D-0090).
FORTH:
Close the material chute on the hopper and load the hopper with enough material to carry out the required
tests. When the various, previously set, temperatures are reached, open the material chute on the hopper
and purge the machine according to section D.2.2/PURGE. (page 190) The machine is now ready to produce
some parts.
FIFTH
Make sure that the unit is connected correctly to the main machine, put the machine in semi-automatic
mode and start a production cycle. The machine will proceed to complete one cycle. The nozzle may cool
slightly, during the first shots, as it comes into contact with the cold mould. If so, for the first shots only,
increase the nozzle temperature by approximately 5 or 10%.
If good results have been achieved, repeat this process several times, adjusting the different machine
parameters such as times, tempertures, pressures and material load.
Select AUTOMATIC mode by turning the selector key. In this mode the START will be given by an external
source (i.e. main machine)
Make sure that, at the end of the injection cycle, the injection piston position is less than 3 mm (cushion)
(page D0340), otherwise the machine will go into alarm after 8 cycles.These two parameters can be modified,
please see par. D.4.3 advanced settings.
The parameters quoted in this section are only a guideline, because parameters always depend on the
materials, the mould construction and the volume of the part.
WARNING: Some plastic materials maybe inflammable and/or explosive.

piston and plastification will not be possible nor
will it be possible to enter an automatic cycle until
the operating temperatures are within this
tolerance band.

The stand-by temperature always depends on


the temperatures set in each of the mould

heater zones will be seen in yellow. The standby temp. activates in the following cases:
1.When the heaters are switched on in
automatic.
2.When the machine is in alarm for a greater
length of time than the time out alarm.
3.When the heaters are switched on manually.
If the machine is in alarm for a time greater
than that set fo time out alarm, the heaters
will go into the stand-by mode. After double

F/ MAINTENANCE - DIAGRAMMES
F.1/ Maintenance

All the materials used in the construction of BABYPLAST 6/10 have been studied so that
they require minimum maintenance and are easy to replace.

OIL:
The oil and filters must be kept clean and must be replaced within the recommended
periods so that the hydraulic equipment does not wear prematurely.
RECOMMENDED PERIODS FOR OIL CHANGE: = 2000 to 5000 HOURS ( acc. to oil type)
FILTER: = 1500 HOURS
COOLING SYSTEM
If treated water is used, so as to avoid calcium deposits from forming, no maintenance is
required. If treated water is not used, the system will have to be cleaned depending on calcium
level in the water.
MOVEABLE PARTS:
All the moveable parts, that are subject to friction, are lined with TEFLON, including the
mobile platen with the STD bushings, and therefore, apart from the normal cleaning, no
maintenance is required. (However, the wear on the bushings ought to be checked
regularly).
GASKETS:
All the gaskets are fitted with bronze reinforced PTFE friction strips, and O-ring
seal. Check the that the surfaces correspond before joining.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT.
Inspect the ventilator in the electrnics compartment, particularly in hot weather, keep the
unit dry and clean, and make sure the connections are well-maintained. Do not use used
parts when replacing elements, especially where FUSES AND TRIACS are concerned.
Electrical maintenance should be carried out by qualified personel only.
HEATING EQUIPMENT:
Seeing as all the heating elements are standard and the thermocouples are independent,
they are easy to maintain. If other thermocouples are used,they should be a ground
isolated "J"-type to avoid disturbances from electrical noise. The Nozzle has an
armoured heating element which is fixed in place by a cup shaped protecive cover.
Keep this assembly as clean as possible and check the condition of wiring regularly for
damage etc.
INJECTION CHAMBER
has two 8 x 80 diameter bulb type 230 W 110 V heating elements which need to
be checked regularly. Keep this assembly as clean as possible and check the condition
of wiring regularly for damage etc.
PLASTIFICATION CHAMBER
The plastification chamber is heated by a - 230V 1000W 37mm diam x 76mm heater band for
the standard UAI and a 230V 1000W 60 diam. x 120mm heater band for the augmented
version. These heater bands guarantee an optimal and uniform heat distribution which is
essential for technical polymers. Keep this assembly as clean as possible and check the
condition of wiring regularly for damage etc.

F.2/ Air blow connection for Venturi loader


ATTENTION: in the case of using soft materials (TPE or similar) it can happen that there are problems for
the material to fall from the venturi hopper into the machine plastification cylinder. In such a case it is possible
to insert a small 4mm tube inside the hopper, so that it arrives near the throat of the hopper where the
material falls through. In this way it is possible to activate air blow into the material each cycle and ensure
that the material falls through.
Connect an airtube from connection point H on the hopper to connection point H1 on the control cabinet. To
activate airblow during the cycle, set a time on the line air blow time in the injection page (page D-120), and
for each cycle the valve will activate for the time set.
Via key F5 in the MANUAL MENU ( page D-050) it is possible to activate it manually.
