1-2-1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The J141-215 DigiPackis a user friendly, high performance 200 Point Digital Blow Molding Parison Wall Thickness controller producing lighter, stronger containers at increased production rates.
A properly installed and intelligently used system will deliver higher operating efficiency from your blow molding machine as a result of faster molding cycles, shorter change over times and reduced scrap.
The DigiPack adjusts the parison wall thickness by controlling the core position with the core actuator. The core position can be finely set up to 200 points maximum.
For an accumulator type blow molding machine, set the target core position with reference to the accumu­lator position. For a continuous blow molding machine, set the target core position based on time.
The core position control system with the above setting consists of four main components: DigiPack controller, servo valve, actuator for core and feedback detector for accumulator. The function of each component is as follows.
Operator using DigiPack to set the core position (core die gap opening / closing amount) required
DigiPack also functions as a digital interface with the PLC controller of the blow molding machine
The servo valve adjusts the flow rate to the core actuator according to the flow (spool position) com-
The actuator for the core, the core is fixed to the rod, and the rod (core) moves according to the flow

1.2.1.1. Continuous blow molding machines
Tooling
Figure 1-2 Basic Continuous Blow Molding Machine Control Diagram
When used with continuous blow molding machines, the DigiPack controls the parison wall thickness relative to the machine cycle time. The machine cycle starts when the start signal is input (when the parison cutting knife disconnects the parison). The cycle time can be determined by the following.
a) Fixed cycle time set by the operator (when [Auto cycle] is OFF) b) Automatic cycle time set by repeatedly measuring the time between start signals (when [AUTO CY-
CLE] is ON)
When using the fixed cycle time of a), it is necessary for the machine operation time to be negligible for reasons such as multiple die interlocking, or It is a premise that it is a machine that performs machine functions such as closing and moving molds within the cycle time
The shape of the parison wall profile is set digitally by the operator. The size of the die gap, measured by a die gap position transducer, is compared with the operators commanded position as set on the DigiPack
display. The error between the operators set position and the actual position causes the servovalve to flow oil to
the actuator to reduce the position error to a very small value. This feedback process ensures that the actual die gap follows the commanded die gap very accurately.
With a continuous blow molding machine, DigiPack operates / processes as follows. The operator sets the core position (core die gap opening / closing amount) necessary to obtain the
desired wall thickness (usually constant wall thickness) product on the DigiPack controller panel.
When the start signal switches from OFF to ON, DigiPack controls the servo valve so that the core
follows the set position according to the cycle time.
The servo valve adjusts the flow rate to the core actuator according to the (flow rate) command from
DigiPack.

By controlling the actuator for the core, control the thickness of the parison at the core die gap portion. During to , DigiPack functions as a digital interface with the PLC of the blow molding machine
and provides information such as the end of the program and the point status of the program sequen­tially.
1.2.1.2. Accumurator type molding machines
When used with accumulator machines, the DigiPack controls the parison wall thickness relative to the accumulator position as the plastic is being extruded.
As the total quantity or volume of plastic extruded is proportional to the accumulator position, then it follows that the resulting parison wall thickness at any given point on the length of the container must be related to the accumulator position. Given that the physical properties of the plastic and its temperature are con­stant from container to container, then each container’s weight and strength will be consistent.
Tooling
Figure 1-3 Basic Accumulator Machine Control Diagram
A potentiometer measures the accumulator position and controls the vertical axis of the program display. The operator can also set the accumulator operating stroke, shot size, and accumulator injection comple-
tion position (cushion). In addition, DigiPack also provides interface signals to the machine's PLC for these functions. After that, the operation of the accumulator is controlled by the PLC.
With an accumulator type blow molding machine, DigiPack operates / processes as follows. The operator sets the core position (core die gap opening / closing amount) necessary to obtain the
desired wall thickness (usually constant wall thickness) product on the DigiPack controller panel.
When the start signal switches from OFF to ON, the DigiPack controls the servo valve so that the
core follows the set position according to the position of the accumulator.
The servo valve adjusts the flow rate to the core actuator according to the (flow rate) command from
DigiPack.
By controlling the actuator for the core, control the thickness of the parison at the core die gap portion.

During to , DigiPack functions as a digital interface with the PLC of the blow molding machine
and provides information such as the end of the program and the point status of the program se­quentially.
Successful performance of the DigiPack depends a great deal upon how well it is installed on the machine. By following the instructions contained idatan this manual it will be possible to easily install this system and obtain many years of trouble free operation.
1-2-2. WHO CAN INSTALL THE DigiPack
The installation of the DigiPack control system requires the installer to be familiar with electrical wiring, hydraulic plumbing and basic metal working. The calibration and start up of the finished system requires some understanding of the blow molding process and use of test instruments such as a digital voltmeter. The plumbing, wiring and bracketry should not be difficult. Most molding shop maintenance men who are familiar with blow molding machines will have little difficulty with the help of this manual.
The system can be satisfactorily calibrated to the machine and started up without assistance or special equipment by following the instructions in this manual.

*The instructions in this section are general installation procedures.
1-5-1. GENERAL
Mounting provisions for the tooling servoactuator should include a stable mounting platform for the tooling actuator, a filter location which allows the filter element to be readily replaced and mechanical pro­visions allowing simple adjustment of the mechanical relationship between the actuator and the die gap. Figure 1-5 shows such as a well planned installation.
A tooling servoactuator provides a long lived solution to the problems caused by high temperatures and force levels. Low friction seals and strong bearings insure long term and good tooling die gap positioning performance. A built in position transducer provides mechanical isolation from shocks and climbing feet. A directly manifold servovalve is tightly coupled to the actuator. Figure 1-6 illustrates a packaged tooling ac­tuator with provisions for pre-blow air.
Figure 1-5 shows a typical tooling actuator installa­tion. A servovalve (upper right) is directly mounted on a manifold, which in turn is attached to a tooling ac­tuator. Directly below is a DCDT position transducer measuring the actuator rod and die gap tooling mo­tion. In addition, a high pressure filter mounted di­rectly on the manifold provides clean oil to the servo­valve. Tooling adjustment provisions are also shown.

1-5-2. TOOLING ADJUSTMENT
When a mold change is made, it is often necessary to change the die gap tooling assembly. Therefore the actu­ator installation must provide for simple adjustment of the die gap tooling position relative to the actuator position. Figure 1-7 shows two possible methods of adjusting the positional relationship between the tooling actuator and the die gap tooling’s closed position. Tooling motion stops may be required to limit the forces on the die gap tooling when the die and mandrel touch. Figure 1-8 is a typical installation.
Some actuators with an anti-rotation fea­ture require the nut torque loads on the anti-rotation device to be limited by ab­sorbing the tightening torque with a wrench on the actuator rod flats
Tooling stops are required to insure a die gap that cannot close on a continuous molding machine. An inadvertent closure of the die gap could cause very high pressures in the extruder barrel and extrusion head and result in their damage and/or failure.
The above comments must be considered for the proper installation of either a Moog supplied die gap tooling actuator or a customer supplied actuator.

The extruder barrel and/or screw can be severely damaged if the die gap closes when the extruder is running. A mechanical motion stop must be installed which will not allow the die gap to close.
1-5-3. MOOG DIE GAP TOOLING ACTUATORS
The Die Gap Tooling Actuator is designed specifically to control the die gap motion in blow molding extru­sion heads. Their design specification includes: Low friction, Long life piston and rod seals. Graphite flake cast iron rod bearings to absorb potential side loads and high temperatures. Provision for blow air through the piston rod, and pre adjusted position feedback transducer.
The mounting provisions for a die gap tooling actuator must include: a strong mounting structure, provi­sions for axial and parallel alignment of the tooling actuation rod (mandrel) with the die gap actuators rod,
provisions to allow the actuator stroke center and the tooling’s effective stroke center to coincide, tooling
motion stops to protect the tooling and/or extruder. Figure 1-6 illustrates a packaged tooling actuator.

1-5-5. CUSTOMER SUPPLIED CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
The customer supplied cylinder is required to control the die gap motion in blow molding extrusion heads. As such their purchase specification must include: Low friction, long life piston and rod seals; Robust rod bearings capable of absorbing large potential side loads and high temperatures. A quality cylinder must be purchased to meet these requirements.
The mounting provisions for the tooling actuator shall include: a strong mounting structure, provisions for axial and parallel alignment of the tooling actuation rod (mandrel) with the die gap actuators rod, provisions
to allow the actuator stroke center and the tooling’s effective stroke center to coincide, tooling motion stops
to protect the tooling and/or extruder.
Some actuators with an anti-rotation feature require the nut torque loads on the anti-rotation device to be limited by absorbing the tightening torque with a wrench on the actuator rod flats.
1.5.5.1. MANIFOLD
The manifold must be mounted using as close as possible to the cylinder. Ideal methods are to mount the manifold directly on the cylinder, sealing the ports with “O” rings or to use tubing between the cylinder and manifold.
The pressure and return connections should be straight thread fittings using an “O” ring as a seal. Tapered
thread fittings are not encouraged as they tend to leak and when they are torqued up to stop the leak, the servovalve mounting surface is distorted, causing leakage at the servovalve-manifold seal. Straight thread fittings using “O” rings do not leak or cause mounting surface distortion.
Should tapered thread fittings be used, ONLY Teflon tape can be used on the tapered threads as a sealant. The Teflon tape must not cover the last two threads at the smaller diameter portion of the thread. Any other material will cause eventual contamination problems.
Figure 1-7 shows two possible methods of adjusting the positional relationship between the tooling actu­ator and the tooling die gap closed position. Tooling motion stops may be required to limit the forces on the die gap tooling when the die and mandrel touch. Figure 1-9 is a typical installation.
Tooling motion stops may also be required to insure a die gap opening on a continuous molding machine. An inadvertent closure of the die gap could cause very high pressures in the extruder barrel and extrusion head and result in their damage and/or failure. The above comments must be considered for the proper installation of either a Moog supplied die gap tooling actuator or a customer supplied actuator.
1.5.5.2. SERVOVALE MOUNTING
The servovalve is mounted to a manifold with four mounting
screws and using four “O” rings to seal the Pressure, Return
(Tank), and the two Cylinder hydraulic connections. The “O” ring seal between the servovalve and manifold depends
upon the servovalve mounting manifold surface flatness to insure that there are no oil leaks. This surface must be flat within
0.025mm and have a √32 RMS finish. Two servovalves mounting patterns are available: a Cetop 5, NG
10 or a Ø22,2mm, Moog 76 port circle.

When a mold change is made, it is often necessary to change the die gap tooling assembly. Therefore the actuator installation must provide for simple adjustment of the die gap tooling position relative to the actu­ator position.
The extruder barrel and/or screw can be severely damaged if the tooling die gap closes when the extruder is running. A mechanical motion stop must be installed which will not allow the die gap to close.
1-5-7. ACCUMULATOR POSITION MEASUREMENT
If the DigiPack is being installed on a continuous extrusion machine please go to the next section. Accumulator type blow molding machines require a position transducer to indicate the accumulator posi-
tion. The parison wall thickness pattern can then be programmed with direct reference to the accumulator stroke of Shot Size.
1.5.7.1. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The position transducer is required to operate in a high temperature and vibration environment. In addition the transducer must accommodate some mechanical miss-alignment without reduction of life and linearity.
The part of position sensor allows adjustment for interlocking the movable part of the potentiometer with the moving of the accumulator. and also has the following functions:
1) An accumulator driven bearing guided structure for the potentiometer drive arm
2) Mounting provisions for the potentiometer on the same bearing guided structure, provisions for adjustment to insure parallel motion of the potentiometer guide arm and potentiometer drive rod
3) And a rod end bearing between the potentiometer drive rod and the potentiometer guide arm

1-5-8. THE IMPORTANCE OF FILTRATION
Figure 1-13 High Pressure Fil-
ter
Adequate contamination control in any hydraulic system is the key to a highly reliable system. Proper filter placement and selection insures long term trouble free operation of every hydraulic system component. There are three essentials:
1) a high pressure filter mounted directly at the tooling actu­ator
2) a re-circulating circuit providing continuous filtration and heat removal
3) proper control of the tank breathing and filling operations to prevent the ingression of contaminant
High pressure filter (β15»75, 15µ absolute) mounted directly with tubing at the tooling actuator provides protection against particles created by component failures.
The main contamination protection is provided by oil taken from one corner of the tank, flowing through the low pressure re-circulating filter back to the opposite corner of the tank. The re-circulation filter is a low pressure filter (β3»75, 3µ absolute) with an inexpensive replacement filter element. The re-circulation also incorporates a heat exchanger to maintain low oil temperature and insure adequate oil life.
Protection against ingression of contaminant during oil make up and normal breathing is provided with breather rated at 10µ.
Currently, MOOG does not sell filters. Please purchase directly from the filter manufacturer.
1-5-9. FILTER INSTALLATION
High pressure filter or equivalent, β15>75 rated, high pressure filter must be mounted as close as possible (50mm to 300mm) to the actuator or servovalve manifold. The location of the filter must allow an easy access to make a replacement of filter element easy and safety.
Filter Installation Information
The hydraulic connection between the filter and actuator must be tubing. Under no circumstances can hydraulic hose be used as the hose is a contaminant generator and this contaminant will go directly into the servovalve, eventually causing contamination problems.
The hydraulic connections used will be a straight thread “O” ring sealed boss into the servoactuator and high pressure filter with either flared or compression fittings used to connect the tubing to the straight thread fittings.
The use of tapered thread fittings with pipe dope will cause both contamination and leakage problems. Teflon tape may be used, but only if applied in such a manner as to keep the edge of the Teflon tape at least two threads away from the end of the fitting.

1-5-10. HYDRAULIC POWER SUPPLY
Figure 1-14 Hydraulic Power Supply
The Hydraulic Power Supply provides clean oil to the die gap tooling actuator at a constant supply pressure. An accumulator provides the peak flows that may be required. A water heat exchanger ensures reasonable oil temperatures.
The Hydraulic Power Supply is normally used on first installa­tions when the cleanliness condition of the blow molding ma­chine’s hydraulic power supply is unknown or suspect.
A separate hydraulic power supply provides a reliable source of clean oil for trouble free long term operation. A bypass filter allows the oil to be continually cleaned and cooled.
The hydraulic power supply pressure output should be con­nected directly to the input port of the high pressure filter at the die gap tooling actuator or the servovalve manifold. The actuator or manifold return line goes to the hydraulic power supply return port.
1-5-11. HYDRAULIC POWER SUPPLY START UP INSTRUCTIONS
1) Check for any damage to the hydraulic power supply and its parts.
2) Fill the tank through the breather filter with Shell/Tellus 68 or equivalent fluid.
3) Check the nitrogen gas pressure in the accumulator bladder. The pressure should be 35 bar or 66% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is higher. Add nitrogen, if necessary.
4) Replace the filter elements with flushing elements. Store the original filter elements in a clean, very clean plastic bag.
5) Connect the pressure and return lines to and from the tooling actuator assembly
6) Check the motor name plate for the correct line voltages and connect the motor to power. Start the motor and check that it rotates in the proper direction.
7) Connect cooling water to the heat exchanger. The required water flow rate is 30 1/min at 2-3 bar.
8) Run the hydraulic power supply for at least 6 hours. Vary the flow rate and pressure to thoroughly flush all chips and dirt into the filters. Monitor for leaks and repair.
9) Replace the flushing filter elements with the elements removed in step 4.

1-5-12. CONTAMINATION CONTROL
Figure 1-15 Flow Pressure Filter
Long term trouble free operation with a minimum of unplanned down time and adequate oil contamination control are linked very closely. It is very important to maintain adequate oil cleanliness. The addition of a system contamination control filter will control oil contamination levels at minimum expense.
The filter should be located such that the flow through the filter is relatively constant and at a low pressure. The junction of the re­turn lines from the tooling actuator and the system relief valve is a suitable location.
Currently, MOOG does not sell filters. Please purchase directly from the filter manufacturer.

1-6. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1-6-1. GENERAL
Electrical installation includes several phases of work:
A) mounting the DigiPack in a suitable location B) determining the correct phasing so the servovalve, tooling position transducer and, possibly,
accumulator position transducer may be connected to the DigiPack
C) determining the blow molding machine interface interaction with the DigiPackand then
wiring the machine-DigiPackinterface
D) connect the DigiPack to electrical power supply from the stable 24VDC
DigiPack MOUNTING
The DigiPack must be mounted in a location free of vibration, with protection from the environment and most important, located in a position allowing the operator and setup man easy visual and physical access. It is recommended that the mounting be on a swing out panel allowing easy access to the front and back sides of the DigiPack3.
Mounting information is shown in Figure 1-17. Brackets providing simple panel mounting are included.
All wiring from the DigiPack must be shielded. The shield is to be grounded to the DigiPack ground at the DigiPack only Any other ground paths may cause damage.
1-6-2. REAR CONNECTOR
The rear connector of DigiPack can be detached. When installing the connector, secure with the lock lever. See Figure 1-16.

The wire size for TB-1 and TB-2 are able to use AWG26 - 16(Recommended AWG 19-18, 0.75 mm2), and required using O type or Y type crimp terminal. (Screw diameter 3.5 mm, tightening torque 1.0 Nm).
TB-1 provides the interface between the DigiPack and the servovavle, die gap sensor, accumulator position sensor. TB-1 also provides outputs to optional customer monitors MFB Valve current, EFB spool monitor, DCDT input voltage, Accumulator voltage, Position command, these signals can be select at setting display (See 2-4-8. ). A schematic of TB- 1 is shown as Figure 1-19 and TB-1 functions are outlined in the table, Figure 1-20.
Phasing definitions for the servovalve, die gap position and accumulator position (if used) transducers are given in Figure 1-18”.
Some connections to TB-1 are shown in parenthesis, (), in Figure 1-19. The parenthesis, (), indicate alternate connection possibilities result from particular directions of motion or phasing determined during the design of the mechanical installation. Phasing requires that a defined direction of motion of the tooling actuator will result from TB-1-1 being negative with respect to TB-1-2; that the output voltage of the die gap position transducer be positive or negative when the die gap is moving in a specific direction; and that the accumulator position transducer output voltage direction be defined when the accumulator is ejecting molten plastic into the die head. Terminal TB-2 is using the external power supply to isolate logic inputs, Figure 1-21, Figure 1-22, TB-2 functions are outlined in Figure 1-23.
1-6-4. COMMUNICATION AND SSI SNSOR WIRING
The DigiPack can be communicate with host computer by Ethernet. The connector is using RJ45

All DigiPack I/O can be uses both POSITIVE/NEGATVIE LOGIC DigiPackcan be used external and internal power supply. And provide isolated inputs.
The external power supply has an output 24VDC. The contacts used must have very low contact resistance over a long life time. Extreme care is required when wiring to insure that ground loops do not exist. Ground loops can cause
damage to the DigiPackand other electronic equipment. Ground loops can also cause erratic operation of the entire blow molding machine.

1-6-7. NOISE AND GROUND ISOLATION
In any location there is always the potential for electrical noise interference and multiple ground paths. Electrical noise can cause erratic system operation and is very difficult to find and isolate, ground loops also cause unexpected operation as well as burn out components. In addition, mains voltage stability can sometimes be questionable.
An isolation transformer between the mains and DigiPackcan provide some relief from noise, ground loops and wandering mains.

1-7. CALIBRATION OF TOUCH SCREEN
Calibration of the touch screen has already been completed at the time of product shipment, so basically no user setting is necessary. Here is explain that the readjustment method when there is an error in the calibration of the touch screen by some reasons. (If there is an error in the calibration of the touch screen, the touch area corresponding to the display button will shift, so it will not react even if you touch the display button.)
If the readjustment becomes frequently necessary, it seems that some trouble has occurred on the touch screen. In that case we recommend that you submit it for repair.
Step 1: While DigiPack powered on, digital signal is continuously input for 3 seconds or longer to TB-
2-8 (this channel displayed as Do not use).
Step 2: DigiPack will be automatically restarted and the calibration screen as shown in Figure 1-31 will
be displayed. Touch the "Calibration" button. (At this time, since the calibration information is reset, "Calibration" button can be pressed)
Step 3: Since Figure 1-32 is displayed, touch all the "+" signs surrounded by the red frame square in the
corner. If you press the wrong place to push, the calibration will fail and the screen will stop re­sponding. In that case, please turn on the power again, return to step 1 and try again.
Step 4: If the calibration is successful, display will return to Figure 1-31, Restart the controller and finish.

1-9. TOOLING SYSTEM SETUP
1-9-1. GENERAL OF SETUP
The Mechanical and Electrical installation must be finished before the Dig Gap Tooling position control system can be set up. In addition the, hydraulic system must have been flushed for at least 24 hours.
The Die Gap Tooling position control system setup involves several steps:
1) The Machine setup in the DigiPackdisplay (SHIFTF4) must be set to match various options determined by the blow molding machine and tooling head type.
2) The correct tooling type selection, Convergent or Divergent, must be determined. This will be determined by which portion of the tooling moves, the die or mandrel, as well as its internal shape.
3) The DigiPackmust know if the blow molding machine is a Accumulator or a Continu­ous molding machine.
4) The working Die Gap end positions, closed and maximum open, must be set.
5) The responsiveness of the Die Gap Tooling position control system is measured and optimized.
When finished with the Die Gap Tooling system setup, the blow molding machine will be ready to be programmed for production containers.
The hydraulic pressure must be lowered during the setup procedure or the die gap tooling may be damaged.
1-9-2. MACHINE SETTING
After confirming the mechanical and electrical connection completely, turn on the DigiPack. However, please do not apply hydraulic pressure yet here. The LCD of DigiPack gets brighter and [F1 Profile] is displayed via the startup screen. Next, press the
[SHIFT] → [F4] key in that order to reflect the machine settings such as language, servo valve type, con-
tinuous type machine or accumulator type machine.
1.9.2.1. MACHINE SETTINGS (SHIFTF4)
At the DigiPackdisplay “SHIFT -> F4” (“Figure 1-34”) is Setting for Machine setting. Set these param­eters according to Machine type, these parameters should setting before start setting any parameter of tooling and accumulator. (Accumulator setting only accumulator machine)
The settings required now are:
1) Machine type - Either Continuous or Accumulator
2) Servovalve type - Either mechanical feedback, MFB, or electrical feedback, EFB
3) Valve current - If selected MFB type, this parameter can be selected current level
10, 20, 50 or 100 mA
Depending on the setting of MFB and EFB, the output terminal changes. (The output terminals of MFB/EFB are located in TB-1.) The Servovalve type that not set is fixed to "0" mA or "0" V, if no output signal and the actuator does not operate, Please review the machine setting.

1-9-3. SET UP PROCEDURE
To go to Set Up mode press “SHIFT” then press “F1. The Set Up mode screen appears as shown in Figure 1-37.
Three words [DCDT], [Accumulator], and [Gain] are dis­played on the left side of the screen. By selecting them, you can set DCDT, accumulator and gain value respectively. The highlighted word (in this case [DCDT]) indicates the setup screen that will transition when you press [SET]. How­ever, [Accumulator] is displayed only when it is set to accu­mulator type mode at [Machine] setting ([SHIFT]→[F4]).
Note that the [DCDT], [Accumulator], and [Gain] screens have a button as "Back" under the setup parameters of the screen. If [Back] is highlighted and you press [SET] or di­rectly touch [Back] on the screen, the display returns to the setup screen (Figure 1-37).
1.9.3.1. DCDT SETUP
To go to the [DCDT setupup] screen, press [SET] when [DCDT] is highlighted in Figure 1-37 or directly touch [DCDT] on the screen.
The screen shown in Figure 1-38 is displayed.
CONVERGE/DIVERGE SETTING
The selection between Converge and Diverge tooling de­signs implies that the selection between Converge and Di­verge is a simple one. This is not necessarily true.
If the Converge or Diverge tooling uses a moving mandrel (inner part), then simply set Converge or Diverge as dictated by the tooling design.
However, if the Converge or Diverge tooling uses a moving die (outer part), then the other tooling type name must be used. For example, if the tooling design is Converge and the die is the moving part, the proper tooling selection for the DigiPackis Diverge. Example below.

direction to make thicker parison walls, then select Diverge. If the tooling actuator moves in an upward direction to make thicker parison walls, select Converge as the tooling type selection.
CONVERGE/DIVERGE SELECT
At the [DCDT setup] screen with Converge highlighted. (Fig­ure 1-38) Select DIVERGE or CONVERGE by rotating the ROTALY KNOB in a cw or ccw direction. When the selection is made, push Set.
Figure 1-39 Die Gap Setup
The currently set values and file values (Reference) for Figure 1-39 and Figure 1-38 are displayed. The value (Reference) of the file shows the setup value saved in Digi­Pack memory using [F3:File]. For machine protection, these data are not rewritten directly from the file as production data and are displayed as reference values (Ref­erence).
CORE
In this screen, Figure 1-39, under the heading Zero/Span, Zero is highlighted. Zero is the Die Gap closed position. If the tooling installation includes a Tooling Motion Stop then it must be temporarily positioned so the stop does not interfere with the tooling motion.
Note that the Valve current (or spool monitor) indicator may show a Valve current (spool position) indication that is continuously and rapidly moving back and forth over a band of as much as 25% of the indicated range. If there is a continuously moving indication of more than 5% then the Die Gap transducer connection to TB-1 should be changed to conform to the schematic show in Figure 1-40.
Rotate the ROTALY knob to make the tooling move in the Die Gap closed direction (CCW). When the ROTALY Knob is turned, the Valve current indicator will move slightly and then return to zero or nearly zero when the ROTALY KNOB is stopped. The DCDT voltage indicator will indicate the changed Die Gap position.

ZERO
Continue to move the Die Gap towards its closed position (Rotaly knob CCW) while watching the Valve current indica­tor. At some point the Valve current indication will not return to zero, but will increase with further rotation of the ROTALY knob, while the Die Gap does not change position. Increas­ing Valve current without Die Gap motion indicates that the Die Gap has closed (or has run into a motion stop).
Then slowly rotate the ROTALY knob in the reverse (CW) direction while watching the Valve current indicator until the Valve current reaches Zero or the Die Gap indicator moves slightly.
Now turn the ROTALY knob in the original direction until the motion just stops and the Valve current indicator shows slightly increasing current. The Die Gap has just reached its closed position.
Push SET. The value of the current DCDT voltage is re­flected as the position of [Zero] (0% position), and the high­light moves to [Span]. (Figure 1-41)

MRJ06301
SPAN
When zero setting is completed, the highlight will indicate [Span] (Figure 1-41). [Span] is the maximum value of the die gap opening (100% on the profile). The die gap core designer checks the [DCDT voltage] indicator and turns the rotary knob clockwise (CW) to the value of the opening to be specified and set it. At this time, when the servo valve current starts to move greatly, it means that it has reached mechanical stop position. In that case, rotate the rotary knob in the opposite direction again and look for where the servo valve current returns to near the center.
When the required die gap maximum opening has been reached, press [SET] and finish setting the span. The highlight moves to [Unit].
If you do not do zero and span on the DCDT setting screen, do not move the cursor by touching the [SET] key. If [SET] is pressed while [Zero], [Span] is highlighted, the current DCDT position will be reflected to zero and span. To move highlighted parameter, please use the up / down (△▽) key or directly touch the desired parameter.
Unit and Stroke
When [Span] is highlighted, touch [SET] or the cursor down key, the cursor will move to [Unit] (% or mm). % Is set to 100% as the distance indicated in [Stroke] and displayed on the profile screen as reference. mm, set the profile directly in mm based on Span setting. Select the desired unit with the rotaly knob and press [SET]. The value of [Stroke] sets 0 to 100% stroke length of DCDT. Measure 0-100% move­ment amount with a ruler and input it. The value set here, 100% = Stroke (mm) is displayed on the profile screen as a reference for the die gap opening.
After completing the setting, move the cursor to [Back] as shown in Figure 1-42 and press [SET] or directly touch [Back] on the screen to move up one screen.

1.9.3.2. GAIN SETUP
Use Up / Down cursor to move to [Gain] (Figure 1-43) and press [SET] or touch [Gain] on the screen directly, the screen will shift to Figure 1-44 screen. In [Gain], adjust the speed and stability of die gap core control actuator. At this point, it is necessary to increase the hydraulic pressure to the correct value.
At Figure 1-44 use the up and down cursor on the screen to move to [Move] or touch [Move] on screen directly to select. Turn the rotaly knob left or right and observe the DCDT volt­age indicator. If it is normal, the indicator will move right and left smoothly according to the movement of the rotaly knob. If the movement is awkward (poor tracking), return to the setting of the gain, increase [Gain] by about 25% and check the operation again by [Move]. If noise behavior is seen, move to [Gain], reduce it by about 25%, and confirm the op­eration with [Move] again. Repeat this until the response be­comes good, move the cursor to [Back], press [SET] or di­rectly touch [Back] on the screen to move to the previous screen.
Figure 1-43 Gain select
* The [Gain] parameter reflects the value in real time according to the rotation of the rotary knob. Therefore, the numeric keypad is not displayed. Also, [SET] for confirmation is unnecessary.
* When an oscilloscope is available, monitor the movement of the core with [MOVE] while monitoring between 19 of TB-1 and 21 of TB-1.
This completes the setup of the continuous blow molding machine.
A NOTE REGARDING CORE STROKE AND ZERO
The value displayed in [Reference] is the value saved on the F3 screen. Because the reference numerical value di­rectly affects the specification of the machine, it does not reflect as it is at the time of file loading (there is a possibility that the machine may break down). These numbers are dis­played as Reference in order to see how they were set in the loaded configuration file. This will be displayed to allow customers to switch products quickly while minimizing the switching time from the end of production to the start of the next new production

1.9.3.3. ACCUMULATOR MACHINE SETUP
The setup of the accumulator type blow machine is almost same as the setup procedure of the continuous blow ma­chine. The difference is where there is a calibration of the accumulator position detector.
To shift to accumulator setup screen Move to [Accumulator] with up/down key and press [SET] or directly touch [Accu­mulator] on the screen. The setup screen as shown in Fig­ure 1-46 is displayed.
* When selected continuous type machine, this parameter is not displayed.
When starting accumulator setup, it is necessary to com­plete setting of DCDT zero/span position, gain, and so on.
When shifting to Figure 1-46, some of the function switches on the right side of the screen will change as follows. (Red frame part)
 DEL PURGE  SHIFT → TOOLING
This is a function to smoothly set up the accumulator. Please check the setting of EMPTY/SPAN for details.
Figure 1-45 Accumulator Setup
Empty
Push the “PURGE” switch located at the lower right of the screen (Figure 1-46) to set the core to the open state (purge position) so that the resin can be easily discharged. The core opening position by PURGE is set on the F2 marker screen. (*When the core reaches the purge position, the PURGE key will return from yellow to white.If you press the PURGE key again while moving to the purge position, the PURGE key will return to white and the core will stop) Next, move the accumulator to the empty position using the host controller. When Empty is highlighted, press the [SET] key when the accumulator is in the extrusion posi­tion (empty position). The empty position is saved, and the [End of Extrusion] of the status monitoring area lights up. The highlight moves to Full (Figure 1-47).

2-1. INTRODUCTION
How do you program the DigiPack Parison Programmer? Its job is to allow you to easily program a plastic container that will meet your customer specifications for weight and strength.
This manual will provide information about the DigiPack’s container wall thickness program setup pro­cedure, its controls and information provided available on the front panel.
After a short learning period, you will be able to readily setup your blow molding machine to mold contain­ers to their required specification.

2-2. PARISON CONTROL
2-2-1. HISTORY
Many different products are produced by the Blow Molding process. Any food, drug or toy store is filled with items using blow molded products. Many automobiles use blow molded windshield cleaning fluid. From a small beginning many years ago, the blow molding process has grown to a major industry.
The value of parison wall thickness control was recognized when the industry was young. Some of the early machines used two position hydraulic control of the die-mandrel gap. Others used heavy cams in strong structures to withstand the large forces involved. The first electro-hydraulic blow molding system replaced the heavy cams with light cams that were easy to modify. This was quickly followed by a readily adjustable electronic master cam used to determine the correct cam shape. Electronic interpolation then eliminated the cam. Today’s parison programming systems provide reliable programming of parison wall thickness and in addition, may provide control of mold motion; screw speed; injection barrel heater tem­peratures, etc. or the capability to control all machine functions.
2-2-2. PARISON PROGRAMMING BENEFITS
Parison programming provides improved container quality, higher production rates and increased profits. Control of parison wall thickness as a function of parison length results in constant container wall thickness
after the parison is blown to conform to the mold. Quality tests determine the ability of a container to withstand drop tests without bursting or leakage of its
contents. Parison programming provides constant wall thickness throughout the container, insuring im­proved mechanical endurance at minimum weight.
Container wall thickness control reduces the container weight, eliminates the hot spots, resulting in de-
creased parison cooling time. The parison programmed blow molding machine’s shorter cycle time results
in increased production rates, combining with the decrease in material cost to ensure higher profits.
2-2-3. CONTINUOUS EXTRUSION MACHINES
A continuously rotating extruder screw pressurizes the granular plastic material, driving it through a heated tubular barrel. The resulting molten plastic is then extruded through the mandrel die gap, forming a con­tinuous tubular parison.
As the parison never stops being formed, multiple molds are required to receive the parison in turn. One mold is in the cooling position, where the plastic cools until the container can stand alone when the mold is opened. The open mold has been moved to a position surrounding the parison, and when the parison is long enough, the mold is closed. The parison is then pressurized with air through the blow pin, causing it to expand and take the shape of the mold walls, after which the mold is moved to its cooling position. The other mold is now open and is moved to the position where it surrounds the parison and the cycle repeats.
The machine and parison program cycle is started by the knife cutting the parison. Program start Delay time may be used to properly position the programmed parison profile relative to the mold profile to insure constant wall thickness.
2-2-4. ACCUMULATOR MACHINES
Accumulator blow molding machines are normally used to make large containers. Plastic is extruded into an accumulator until the amount required (Shot Size) to make the container is available. When the mold is positioned to receive the parison the accumulator piston moves, extruding the plastic through the pro­grammable die gap to form the parison.
A position transducer measures the accumulator piston motion and causes the parison profile to be con­trolled as a function of the volume of plastic extruded through the die gap. During filling, the transducer also causes the accumulator to stop filling when Shot Size is achieved.

2-2-5. PARISON PROGRAMMING BENEFITS
Container Wall Profile
Container Wall Profile
Programmed
parison
If the die mandrel gap is constant, the extruded parison wall thickness is con­stant. When the parison is expanded by air pressure, it is stretched and made thinner. The resulting container walls contain thick and thin portions depending upon the amount of parison stretching occurring during the inflation of the con­tainer.(Figure 2-2)
When this container is filled with a test fluid and dropped, it is likely to split in the heavy wall areas upon impact, due to reduced material strength resulting from uneven cooling stress. The entire container must be made thicker or more uni­form to provide even cooling and improved strength.
Figure 2-2 Section of an Un­programmed Parison and the Resulting Container Walls
As a result the container walls will be heavier throughout the container, require a long cooling time, material cost will increase and container production rates will decrease.
If the parison container thickness can be programmed as it is extruded by var­ying the die mandrel gap width, the resulting container will have constant thick­ness walls.(Figure 2-3)
Figure 2-3 Section of a Pro­grammed Parison and the Resulting Container Walls
This container will pass the drop test with less material as there are no heavy spots. On average, the wall thickness will be less requiring shorter time to cool the container. The container will have constant thickness walls. Programmed parison wall thickness control therefore results in higher container production rates using
less material per container and higher profits.

2-2-6. WITH ACCUMULATOR BLOW MOLDING MACHINES
When used with accumulator machines, the DigiPackcontrols the parison wall thickness relative to the accumulator position as the plastic is being extruded. In this case the displays (LCD) vertical axis is accu­mulator position and the horizontal axis is die gap opening.
The total quantity or volume of plastic extruded is proportional to the accumulator position, then the result­ing parison wall thickness at any given point on the length f the container is related to the accumulator position when that point on the parison was extruded through the die gap.
A potentiometer measures the accumulator position and controls the vertical axis of the program display. The desired shape of the parison wall profile is commanded digitally by the operator using the display. The
size of the tooling opening or die gap, as measured by a die gap position transducer, is compared with the operators commanded die gap opening as set on the DigiPackdisplay.
The error between the operators commanded die gap opening and the actual position causes the servo­valve to control the oil flow to the actuator and reduce the difference between the commanded and the actual die gap opening (position error) to a very small value. This feedback process ensures that the actual die gap opening follows the commanded die gap opening very accurately.
The operator can also set the accumulator working stroke, Shot Size, and the desired position at the end of the accumulator push out, Cushion, the DigiPackalso provides interfacing signals for these functions with the machines PLC, which then controls the motions of the accumulator.
2-2-7. WITH CONTINUOUS BLOW MOLDING MACHINES
When used in a continuous blow molding machine, DigiPack controls parison wall thickness by relative value to the time required for one machine cycle. The vertical axis of the LCD display is time and the horizontal axis is the die gap opening amount. The cycle begins, for example, when the parison cutting knife cuts the parison (actually when the start signal is input). The end of the cycle can be determined by one of the following:
a) Fixed cycle time set by operator b) Automatic cycle time (cycle time is controlled by the blow molding machine) set by repeatedly meas-
uring the time between cuts by the parison cutting knife (the time until the next start is input)
c) Detect a fixed time cycle and activate machine functions such as closing the core (cycle time is con-
trolled by DigiPack)
The desired shape of the parison wall profile is commanded digitally by the operator using the display. The size of the tooling opening or die gap, as measured by a die gap position transducer, is compared with the
operators commanded position as set on the DigiPackdisplay. The error between the operator commanded position and the actual position caused the servovalve to
control the oil flow to the actuator and reduce the difference between the commanded and actual die gap opening (position error) to a very small value. This feedback process ensures that the actual die gap opening follows the commanded die gap opening very accurately.

Figure 2-4 Poor Vertical Alignment Between the
Parison and the Mold
Figure 2-5 Good Vertical Alignment Between the
Parison and the Mold.
2-2-8. PARISON MOLD ALIGNMENT
Alignment lines are reference lines that are displayed when cross-sectioning the positional relationship between the parison wall thickness and the product wall thickness generated after molding by blow mold­ing.
On the alignment line shown above in Figure 2-5, the parison wall thickness is relatively thick and the core gap is large. Once the parison has been blown and molded, the wall thickness of the molded product measured on the alignment line will be nearly constant with respect to the wall thickness measured in other parts of the product.
However, if the vertical alignment relative to the mold of the parison is not accurate, the wall thickness will not be constant throughout the product and the product will have to be discarded. (Figure 2-4)
Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5 show the parison wall thickness and the relative vertical position of the mold. When parison wall thickness is stretched by blow air pressure, the amount of drawing will change depend­ing on the size of the inner circumference of the core. By programming the parison it is possible to produce a product with the desired constant wall thickness by aligning the thick part and the largest part of the mold inner part.
In the state shown in Figure 2-4, the parison position is higher against the position of the mold. The wall thickness profile of the parison is the same as in Figure 2-5, but there is no alignment line position for the mold. The product wall thickness on the top and bottom alignment lines is too large and the middle alignment line thickness is too small.
Lowering the position of the parison against the mold, improves the consistency of the wall thickness of the entire blow molded product and ultimately produces the correct result. However, if the parison wall thickness is further changed here, the wall thickness control will become defective again.
Please note that the horizontal alignment line is displayed as a tool showing the vertical alignment require­ments of the parison and the mold. The actual movement accompanying plastic blow molding and drawing is more complicated.

Shot Size Shot Size sets the quantity of plastic used during one machine cycle to produce a container. The setting
type is different depending on the accumulator or continuous machine type. Accumulator Machines – the amount of plastic extruded by the accumulator or accumulator stroke. Shot
Size is shown as a percentage (or mm) of the accumulator stroke and its value may only be set between 1% and 100%.
Continuous Extrusion Machines – the length of time for one machine cycle in seconds. Cycle Time may only be set between 0.1 and 999.9 seconds. This time is started by machine event, such as the motion of the knife cutting the parison.
An additional feature is Auto Shot which automatically sets Shot Size to be equal to the time interval between sequential knife cuts. If Auto Shot is ON then Shot Size automatically update each cycle interval, and Shot Size is no effect on the cycle time.

This parameter is the core gap target position when the die gap digital signal (TB-2-2) is input. Set the core die gap opening amount on the cycle between the end of the program profile (point 200) and the start of the next cycle. The setting range can be set between 0 and 100% with respect to the maximum value of the core die gap opening amount. Also, if this parameter is changed while the [Die gap] status ([Die gap] status indicator is green), the core gap changes at the speed of [Die gap slope] setting when pressing the [SET] key Move to a setting position. In general, [die gap] is used to control the thickness of the parison in a continuous blow molding machine (for example, resin cutting etc.), in the accumulator molding machine to close the core gap and prevent resin drooping during filling.
Delay Delay delays the start of the programmed profile after the machine cycle is started. During this Delay the
tooling die gap is maintained at the gap programmed by profile point 1. Delay may be set from 0% to
999.9% of the Shot Size in ACC mode. If Continuous Extrusion mode, Delay may be set from 0sec to
999.9sec Delay is often used to synchronize the position of the initial programmed portion (bottom) of the parison with the bottom of the container mold.
Cushion Cushion applies to Accumulator Machines and when filling type selected to Extrusion only. Cushion is the point where the accumulator stopped with pushed out. Cushion is often set to leave a
small amount of material in the accumulator at the end of the push out to insure that the accumulator does not bottom out before all of the plastic required for programmed portion of the parison is extruded. As the total accumulator stroke has been made equal to a Shot Size setting of 100%, the total of the equation
Shot Size + Shot Size x Delay + Shot Size x Cushion must be equal to or less than 100% of the actual maximum accumulator stroke.
Auto Cycle
Applicable only with continuous extrusion machines. It is not displayed on the accumulator type machine. This parameter automatically sets [cycle time] to a value equal to the time interval between successive start signals (TB-2-1). When [Auto cycle] is set to ON, [Cycle time] is automatically updated every interval of each cycle.

Weight Weight is a constant value added to each profile point
and when varied, has the effect of changing container weight roughly in proportion to the amount of weight change.
As used on the DigiPack, Weight produces a change proportional to the average thickness of the parison. For a given Weight change, the amount of change at each program point is related to the initial value of that point. The effect is to provide a container weight change with a minimal effect on the container wall thickness distribution.
Weight is expressed as a percentage of the thickest point on the profile. Weight can vary from minus 100% to pluse 100%. Weight reduction can occur until the value of one of the 200 profile points reaches zero.
* If the profile over 100%, Weight still can be increase continuously up to 100%, however actual profile com­mand is 100% maximum.
Figure 2-12 0%Weight Change
Figure 2-13 (-)23.3% Weight Change
Use the Rotaly Knob and Set to change the Weight setting. The percentage Weight change will remain displayed after being Set. When the Rotaly Knob is turned again the new Weight entry will start at zero us- ing the current display as reference. If the Rotaly Knob is accidentally moved and the displayed Weight value changed, it will revert to its former value if SET is not pressed and the Cursor used.
When you start to generate the profile for a container for the first time, the Weight displayed will equal zero. After a Weight change has occurred, the Weight dis­played will indicate the percentage Weight change.
Figure 2-13 shows the effect of a Weight reduction of
-23.3% from the Weight value of 0% in Figure 2-12. To make the change easier to visualize, reference lines drawn between the figures starting at four different par­ison wall thickness program points have been included. The Weight change will be same from minimum to maximum parison wall thickness program point.

Range H
The lowest thickness will be fix
Range H changes the value of all profile points by a
percentage of the difference between the thickness and thinnest points. The value of the thinnest profile point remains constant during a Range H change. Range H can vary between –100% and non limit + side (3276.7%).
* If the profile over 100%, Range H still can be increase continuously, however actual profile command is 100% maximum.
Use the Rotaly Knob and SET to change the Range H setting. The percentage Range H change will remain displayed after being Set. When the Rotaly Knob is turned again the new Range H entry will start at zero using the current display as a reference. If the Rotaly
Knob is accidentally moved and the displayed Range H value changed, it will revert to its former value if SET
is not pressed and the Cursor used.
Figure 2-14 0% Range H
Figure 2-15 (+)25.0% Range H Change
Range H has the effect of allowing container weight changes while retaining the containers minimum wall thickness distribution pattern.
Figure 2-15 shows the effect of a Range H increase of +25.0% from the Range H value of 0% in Figure 2-14. To make the change easier to visualize, reference lines drawn between the figures starting at four different par­ison wall thickness program points have been included.
Range H will use the thinnest parison wall thickness program point as a reference and will not change its thickness. The Range H change will be largest at the maximum parison wall thickness point, and proportion­ately less at the intermediate parison wall thickness poins.

Range L may be changed until the thinnest profile point reaches zero. Use the Rotaly Knob and SET to change the Range L setting. The percentage Range L change will remain displayed after being Set. When the Entry Knob is turned again the new Range L entry will start at zero using the current display as a reference. If the
Rotaly Knob is accidentally moved and the displayed Range L value changed, it will revert to its former value if SET is not pressed and the Cursor used.
Range L has the effect of allowing container weight
changes while retaining the containers maximum wall thickness distribution pattern.

Mode obtained by pressing the F4 key. Display
Available at all times. But not available to change manual mode when profile is running.
Manual Mode is used to display and/or control the positions of the tooling actuator (DCDT) and the value of the servo­valve input current as well as the Output ON/OFF functions. Auto Mode ONLY displays the above information.
Commands
The Cursor is used (or directly touch) to move to the various commands only in MANUAL mode. The SET Key is inactive. The displayed values reflect the actual positions or servo­valve current. (or Spool position in EFB mode)
Output
There are 6 output commands which may be changed with the Rotaly Knob. Counter-clockwise rotation produces a 0 (OFF) and Clockwise rotation a 1 (ON).
Figure 2-29 F4: Monito screen
The functions controlled are: (1) End of Filling; (2) End of Extrusion; (3) Point out; (4) End of Start slope; (5) Ready; (6) Alarm.
Input
There are 7 input commands to monitoring the following functions: (1) Start, (2) Die gap; (3) Reset; (4) Stop; (9) Start Slope, (10) Emergency, (11) Temp OK. (not use 5 to 8)
Core check
When the display Cursor points to “Core check”, it is possible to control the tooling position in closed loop using the Rotaly Knob between 0 to over 3276.7%. (100% = Span position) *This parameter can not be changed with 10 key.
Open command
When the display Cursor points to “Open command”, it is possible to control the value of the servovalve input current with the Rotaly Knob. *This parameter can not be changed with 10 key.
USE OF Open command MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE TOOLING.
When the servovalve input is equal to any value other than those in the Zero range, servovalve oil flow will cause the tooling cylinder to move. The tooling actuator will stop only when the servovalve input current is within a very narrow band in the Zero current range. If the tooling actuator stops due to contact with the die and mandrel, very high forces may be exerted on the tooling, possibly causing damage. It is highly recommended that the hydraulic pressure be reduced to a low value to prevent possible damage.
To prevent inadvertent damage, setting the Open command to “Disable” in Machine setup display ([SHIFT]→[F4]) will disable this function.

Actual digital I/O is the state of the rear terminal block. When the communication virtual input function is invalid, the communication virtual input pattern is ignored and it operates only with the actual digital input. When the communication virtual input function is enabled, it is the logical sum (OR) of the close state between the communication virtual input and the actual digital input. Please note that it will be recognized as closed if either one is closed.

This “IX” command enables the communication virtual input function and indirectly manipulates the bit. After edge operation, the bit for communication virtual input is set to 0.
The operation when an “IS” command or “IX” command is executed on the same bit within 2 [ms] after
edge setting with the “IX” command is undefined. To set them consecutively, leave at least 2 [msec] interval. (It is not necessary when manipulating another
bit with the “IX” command.)

2-7. SETTING UP
2-7-1. OBJECTIVE
The container produced by the blow molding process must meet the customers specification. Customers specifications normally involve standards for appearance, weight and physical characteristics such as strength, endurance and dimensional accuracy.
The container design process will determine the material to be used, the shape of the mold and required special features as well as the size and shape of the die gap tooling.
The task of the set up man is to use the above information with the DigiPackto control the parison wall thickness and placement in the mold to produce the container to its design specification.
The setup man must become familiar with the contents and definitions contained in Section 1-5.
2-7-2. DIE GAP TOOLING SETUP
A feature of the DigiPackis its ability to store the programmed parison wall thickness profile and other settings required to produce a particular container. Up to 100 container files may be stored. The stored container files in the DigiPackeasily allow the change from one container to another. ※ USB memory is used for external data storage.
The stored information for a particular container contains the closed tooling die gap position and the rela­tionship between the programmed wall thickness or die gap opening and the actual tooling die gap opening produced by the desired wall thickness. In other words, the relationship between the programmed die gap opening and the actual die gap opening has been calibrated. For example, a commanded die gap opening of 37% could be calibrated to cause an actual die gap opening of 6.7mm. The tooling die gap calibration information is contained in the container file.
In order to quickly change the blow molding machine production from one container to another with mini­mum change over time, the tooling die gap calibration must be accurately established.
The DigiPackInstallation and Maintenance Manual contains a tooling die gap calibration procedure in Section 1-9-3. , DIE GAP TOOLING SETUP. To achieve the minimum change over time it is essential that this procedure be followed and the requested information recorded.

2-7-3. PRELIMINARY SET UP
SHOT SIZE
Shot Size basically determines the amount of plastic to be extruded through the die gap to make the container. In an accumulator machine it is the extrusion stroke of the accumulator, in a continuous machine it is determined by the time required to extrude the plastic volume or weight required by the container and tail, and also by the cooling capacity of the mold. This time or stroke was probably determined when the particular blow molding machine was selected to produce the container.
DIE GAP
Die Gap will probably be set to 0% for an accumulator machine to eliminate drool. In a continuous extrusion machine, the Die Gap must be used to set a minimum die gap opening (may also have mechanically set minimum opening) to prevent damage to the extruder and/or tooling due to excessive pressure or to a larger opening consistent with the parison tail requirements at the top of the container.
DELAY
Delay will initially be determined by the required tail length at the bottom of the container. Delay would be equal to the tail length divided by the length of the mold.
AUTO SHOT Auto Shot does not apply to accumulator machines,.
Auto Shot would be ON if the DigiPackis only controlling the parison wall thickness and its cycle time
is determined only by the interval between the machine controlled knife cuts. Auto Shot would be OFF if the machine timing is partially or totally controlled by the DigiPack. For
example, if the mold closure timing is controlled by a DigiPackmarker pulse, then the time from the knife cut to mold closure is set by the DigiPack’s Shot Size; the time from the marker pulse to the knife cut is controlled by the machine’s controller.
WEIGHT, RANGE H and RANGE L Weight, Range H and Range L are set by default to zero at the beginning of setup. DIE GAP OPENING Die Gap Opening is determined by the Die Gap Opening required to extrude the required parison weight
for the container and is part of the initial selection of extruder speed and the specific tooling used. This average opening is set at program point 1 and program point 200 and the resulting die gap program will be a constant die gap opening between points 1 and 200.

2-7-4. INITIAL TRIALS
After the heater bands have brought the extruder barrel and extrusion head to the desired temperature, some trial containers are blown. The blow molding machine timing and motions are adjusted to obtain a sealed container. Adjustments to the constant die gap program, Shot Size, Die Gap and Delay may have to be made before a sealed container is obtained. At this time, the die gap tooling opening is fixed and the operator would follow the same logic he would use if the tooling was mechanically fixed in position to obtain a sealed container.
Once a sealed container is obtained, it should be sliced open along the axis parallel to the parison length. If the containers plastic material is translucent, then thick and thin areas can be found by visual observation In any case, container wall thickness measurements should be made along the cut edge and compared with the target wall thickness. The wall thickness or die gap opening program is then changed based upon the differences with the target thickness.
More containers are then blown, cut open and the die gap opening changed as required. After two or three trials it would be helpful to know the location of the programmed portion of the parison in the mold.
One method is to reduce the programmed thickness at one point and determine where that reduced wall thickness ring is located in the container wall. Often, the reduced thickness point can be clearly seen. Further trials with a single reduced thickness point at different locations along the container will help to determine the position of the programmed points along the length of the actual container.
Do not run tests with more than one reduced thickness point. Reducing the wall thickness at a point will change the distribution of plastic along the parison length and the use of more than one reduced thickness point will lead to improper assessment of the results.
A second method to determine the program point distribution on the container is to mark the parison wall at or as near as possible to the place where the parison leaves the die gap tooling. The marks may be applied manually or it may be possible to use marker pulses to operate an ink jet. This method marks the program points on the parison without distorting the parison or container.
When program points 1 and 200 are marked, the position of the programmed portion of the parison in the mold may be determined and adjusted.
A constant thickness container wall will be probably obtained before the correct weight. Adjustment of Weight, Range H or Range L will then allow both the correct container weight and wall thickness to be obtained with minimum requirement for the operator to change the value of any individual programmed die gap opening points.
