Melt Pressure Sensor Failures
Melt Pressure Sensor failure can cause a variety of issues during the production process. Common causes and symptoms of Melt Pressure Sensor failures include:
Common Causes of Melt Pressure Sensor Failures
Electrical Issues: There may be a break or short in the sensor’s connections or wiring.
Excessive Temperature: Excessive temperature exposure to the sensor can cause it to lose its calibration or fail completely.
Mechanical Damage: Physical damage to the sensor can prevent it from taking accurate measurements.
Contamination or Clogging: Debris or melt buildup on the surface of the sensor can prevent accurate pressure measurement.
Symptoms of Melt Pressure Sensor Failures
Incorrect Measurements: If the sensor is not transmitting the correct pressure values, the machine’s performance will be affected.
Warning Lights or Error Codes: Warning lights or error codes may appear on the machine control panel indicating sensor failure.
Inconsistent Injection: Inconsistent or incorrect injection pressure during production can result in a decrease in product quality.
Machine Stoppage: Sensor failure may cause the machine to stop automatically or go into safety mode.
Troubleshooting Melt Pressure Sensor Faults
Cable and Connection Check: Check sensor cables and connection points. Repair loose or broken cables.
Cleaning: Clean the sensor and remove any accumulated debris.
Calibration: Check the calibration of the sensor and recalibrate if necessary.
Spare Part Replacement: In case of complete sensor failure, replace it with a spare sensor.
