USING INSTRUCTION 1. 1ST INJECTION: Place the center of the sprue hole of your rubber mold aim with the "V" mark of the acrylic plate. Wax pot and Nozzle should be heated Pressing any NO.42 group to desired temperature before work pressure button to work. (Do not inject wax ntil wax pot is completely melted.)

15 When you push NO.40 button it will. Show "10.0"on NO.38 it will show "10.0 psi ". You may increase the pressure by push the up button on NO.35 You may push the button down ward NO.34 to decrease the air pressure Step on foot switch. Warning :do not hold foot switch down NO.4 platen will close on rubber mold. Clamp will move forward to nozzle for vacuum and injection work. After injection is made the clamp will back to original position and holding the mold with presetted holding times. After holding time is due, the NO.4 platen will open and your mold is completed.platen will open and your mold is completed. 2. HOLDING TIME:

16 Push NO.34 button for 3 seconds and Push NO.35 button to increase or NO.34 If you turn off the main power switch NO.39 display will start to brinking. button to decrease the holding time is set and turn again to be back "002" and leave it for 3 seconds it will stay for factory 2 seconds. To show on display holding time. and you do need to reset again. Determine what adjustments need to be made: 1. Too much injection time excess wax overflows. 2. Too little injection time mold does not fill completely. 3. Too much forward pressure sprue hole may be deformed. 4. Too little forward pressure wax overflows at sprue hole but does not fill mold. 5. Too much clamping pressure wax pattern may be deformed. 6. Too little clamping pressure wax pattern has overflowed. When all adjustments are complete, unit is ready for production. 3. SET TO WORK WITH DOUBLE PRESSURE INJECTION: To work with WW DIVWI (WW Digital Pressing any NO.42 button asper your Vacuum Wax Injection.) desire need in first injection pressure as shown on picture 6 psi and NO.38 will show "6.0". Pressing NO.40 button for 3 seconds and NO.38 display light will brinking.

17 Select any higher than first set Now display will show the first set pressure by pressing say 10 psi and pressure and ready for work. NO.38 will show 10.0 (this is your second injection pressure to be inject to your mold. HELPFUL TIPS 1. Do not operate the clamp mechanism without a rubber mold and acrylic jig in place to prevent injection nozzle damaged by platens. 2. Finding the correct time and pressure for each mold is a matter of trial and error and cannot be predetermined. Once the optimal setting parameters are known, it is suggested to have them written directly on each mold so that the information will be readily available when needed. 3. When in production, always try to group those rubber molds with a similar thickness and similar setting. This will save time. 4. The automatic operation of the unit should give a few seconds break between injections for operator to remove patterns, spray mold with mold release, clean molds etc. 5. The swivel action of the clamp mechanism is designed to compensate for minor misalignment of the mold to the nozzle. 6. When making rubber molds always try to keep the sprue opening in the center of the mold, in terms of its thickness and width. This would always benefit operation, especially while techtrol pro clamp is used. 7. The techtrol pro clamp have to be operated on an grounded electrical outlet. 8. In the event that unit suddenly stops all operation, check control console fuse NO For techtrol pro clamp to be operated automatically, switch NO are in "RELEASE" and "REVERSE" positions. 10. If clamp mechanism is not able to engage in clamping and forward motion at the first time use. Adjust air pressure to its maximum value, and then perform the same motion. If everything is normal, set back air pressure. ANENCE MAINTANENCE

18 1. Check regularly air line hoses and junctions for leakage. 2. Drain water collected in air compressor from time to time. Presence of water inside air line hoses would probably cause mal-function of solenoid valve and erosion of components, resulting in machine's failure. CAUTIONS CAUTIONS 1.Take precautionary measure to prevent hot injected wax to be spilled on operator. Hot wax could cause serious burns. 2. Do not Put your hand between upper and lower platens. Injury may be caused. 3. All electrical outlet should be grounded. If outlet is not grounded, machine has to be grounded at all time to prevent magnetic interference and machine damage. 4.Do not operate the clamp without a rubber mold and acrylic jig in plase. Other wise, platens may cause unexpected damage to injection nozzle. Note: When operating unit manually always do "REVERSE" before doing "RELEASE". TROUBLESHOOTING Problems Causes Solutions 1. Robot Mold Clamp does not function at all No power.check if power indication light (green) illuminates,.check if power line cord is plugged and if fuse NO.23 is OK..Check that foot pad switch is working..if everything is fine, then investigate other causes. 2. Clamp mechanism does not move at the first time use Mechanism is stuck.adjust "CLOSED" pressure NO.31 and "FORWARD" pressure NO.33 to their maximum values. Then perform the same motion again. If clamp mechanism is normal, set back pressure.

19 3. All settings are correct, but indication lights for switches NO.36 and NO.37 are glowing all the time Magnetic nterence.take following steps: 1. Turn off control console power. Wait for 2-3 seconds, and then turn on again. 2. If the problem does not go away, check plug and outlet socket for looseness or bad contact. Also check if unit is properly grounded. 4.Mechanism is not able to clamp or move forwand automatically Clamp echanism is not in ntomatic mode.check that switches NO.36 and NO.37 ane in "RELEASE" and "REVERSE" positions. Foot pad switch is out of order.replace foot pad switch. 5.Mechanism is not able to clamp or move forward manually Air supply problem Check that air compressor is on. Check air pressure line hoses and junctions for leakage. Check "CLOSED" pressure NO.31 setting. Check "FORWARD" pressure NO.33 setting. 6. Mechanism is not able to clamp or move forward manually Solenoid valve is out of order.call service. 7. Clamp mechanism can clamp and move forward, but Incontrol does not vacuum and inject Bad contact.check 2-PIN cable connection for looseness..check if 2-PIN cable has a broken wire. 8. Clampmechanism can clamp & move forward, and Incontrol can vacuum & inject, but clamp mechanism can not move reverse Bad contact.check 3-PIN cable connection for looseness..check if 3-PIN cable has a broken wire.

20 9. Everything is working well except that mechanism is not able to release platens after holding rubber mold for a period of time Spring for "release" motion is jammed or broken Incorrect timer setting.call service..check if the holding time setting is too long. 10. Wrong commanded motion, e.g., mechanism moves forward while commanded to clamp,..., etc. Incorrect air line hoses connection.check the labels and do the connections NO carefully.
