How to Clean the Control Cabinet in Injection Molding Machines
There is a possibility of igniting and spreading because of the tracking phenomenon* when dust or refuse is collected in the control cabinet.
Moreover, there is a possibility that the performance of the injection moulding machine cannot be demonstrated enough or the breakdown of internal electric apparatuses is caused since contact failure on electric parts is caused because of dust or refuse collected.
Therefore, clean the inside of the control cabinet regularly.
* Tracking phenomenon:
It is likely that electric leak occurs when the dust collected in the space between apparatuses becomes damp. The leak part causes creeping discharge and carbonized as time passes and then the carbonized part ignites.
Securely turn off the power and wait 15 min before cleaning the inside of the control cabinet. Failure to do this may cause electric shock.
(It may take time to discharge electricity of the inverter. etc.)
