Q:How to Straighten a Slanted Billet on Double die Heads Blow Molding Machine?

A: If the billet is observed to be tilting during the operation of the blow molding machine, the issue can be corrected by adjusting the three adjustment screws on the die head. The specific steps are as follows:

 

Step 1: Adjust the left-right tilt of the billet.

If the billet tilts to the right, loosen the right screw and tighten the left screw; If the billet tilts to the left, loosen the left screw and tighten the right screw. After each fine adjustment, remove the billet to observe the effect of the adjustment.

Important Notes:

The adjustment process must adhere to the principle of making small, incremental changes followed by repeated calibration; drastic screw adjustments are prohibited to prevent significant misalignment of the billet.
