In this article, we will show you the pictures and brief specifications for the data entry function on plastic Injection Moulding Machine with Techmation Controllers.
The keys described in this section are used for numerical and text input to the data entry function on a plastic injection moulding maker.
Important: In order to avoid any loss of data and/or settings make sure you have saved the current mold set again before loading a new mold. If you fail to do so any settings changes you may have made will be lost.
When you turn off the controller/machine the current settings will be saved as the working mold set. Nevertheless, you need to save the mold set again before loading any new mold set since any changes you made have not been saved in the mold set database, only as the working mold set settings.
