Chapter 1 Machine Leveling (Mono Base)

NOTE: All parts of the MACHINE must be installed onto the BASE reference the Assembly Instructional Procedures.

Leveling Pads

NOTE: Check the area for cleanliness where the leveling mounts are positioned. Clean all oil, grease, and wax buildup. Heavily coated areas should be scraped or sanded back to bare concrete.

1. Ensure that the LEVELING PADS are in the proper orientation.

NOTE: Labels must face outwards and the PADS are in the direction of the mold stroke column movement.

2. Loosen off the locknuts.

3. Preload all of the LEVELING PADS.

NOTE: The mount pads should protrude 3mm (0.125 in) from the bottom of the MOUNT HOUSING. However, due to floor irregularities, this condition may only be set at the highest floor level.

Level Positioning

1. Position the V-blocks on the RAILS or the BASE at the STATIONARY PLATEN end.

NOTE: The location of the “V-Blocks” depends upon the space between the STATIONARY PLATEN and the RAILS.

2. Position the “Straight Edge” across the “V-Blocks”.

3. Place the “Precision Level” across the BASE on the “Straight Edge”.

4. Place the “Precision Level” length ways on the RAILS or BASE.

5. Center the “Precision Level” between the MOVING and the STATIONARY PLATENS. Also between the MOVING and the CLAMP PLATENS.

6. Place a “Precision Level” on the machined pad on the INJECTION end.

Level Adjustment (Length Ways)

1. Adjust one side of the BASE, along it’s length, from the CLAMP end to the INJECTION end.

2. Adjust the level of the machine at the end where the “Precision Level” indicates the maximum deviation.

3. Turn the bolt of the PADS to raise and lower the machine as needed.

NOTE: The use of a PANCAKE JACK may be required for heavier machines.

4. Check the level of the machine and ensure that the level is within tolerance 0.10mm / meter (0.001in/ 10") at the CLAMP end and 0.8mm / meter (0.008 in/10") at the INJECTION end.

5. Level the other side of the BASE then check and readjust the first side.

NOTE: Make sure that both sides are level first before continuing to level cross ways.

Level Adjustment (Cross Ways)

1. Check the level on the “Straight Edge” with the “Precision Level”.


3. Adjust all PADS on one side evenly to achieve the proper level within a tolerance of 0.10mm / meter (0.001in / 10").


4. Recheck the level length ways and adjust as required.

NOTE: Both length ways and cross ways must be level before leveling is achieved.

Level Achieved

NOTE: When Length ways and Cross ways are within tolerance, level is achieved.

1. Once level is achieved, tighten all locknuts.

2. Check the “Precision Level” to determine the level is still within tolerance.

3. Return all Precision Levels back to the appropriate locations.

3. If the GAP is not equal proceed to the next step. If they are equal proceed to LEVELING PADS.

4. Torque the bolts and lift the CLAMP at the STATIONARY PLATEN end slightly.

5. Lower the Machine and loosen the bolts.

6. Measure the GAP between the INJECTION BASE and the CLAMP BASE.

Parallelism Check

1. Take measurements from the four corners between the STATIONARY and the MOVING PLATENS MOLD FACES with an “Inside Micrometer”.

NOTE: Take the measurements from just above and below the TIE BARS.

2. Check that the measurements are within the tolerances according to the Table 4-1 "Machine Parallelism Specifications".

3. If unable to obtain the tolerances from top to bottom loosen the STATIONARY RETAINING PLATES and verify the perpendicularity of the PLATENS with a “Box Level”.

4. If unable to obtain the tolerances from side to side loosen the RETAINING PLATES at the STATIONARY PLATEN and the mounting bolts that attach the MOVING PLATEN to the LINEAR GUIDE RAILS.

5. Adjust the UPPER and LOWER TIE BAR NUTS equally, Operator side or Non-Operator side, until the tolerances are reached.

6. Loosen off all the STATIONARY PLATEN TIE BAR NUTS. Turn all the TIE BAR NUTS until they contact the STATIONARY PLATEN.

7. Torque the MOVING PLATEN bolts that attach the PLATEN the LINEAR RAILS GUIDES to the required specification and then torque the RETAINING PLATE bolts to the required specification.

8. Retake the measurement with the “Inside Micrometer”.

NOTE: Make sure that the gap between the SPACER BLOCKS and the DOWEL PINS are not greater than 0.1mm (0.004 in.).

9. If unable to obtain the tolerances from side to side repeat steps 4 to 8. If tolerances are obtained witness mark the RETAINING PLATE BOLTS.

Checking Column Guide Bushings

1. Position the MOVING PLATEN to maximum day light less the stroke required for access to the CLAMP COLUMN BUSHINGS.

2. For machines H/HL 500 and smaller proceed to step 3. For machines H/HL 650 and larger proceed to step 4.
