Ayah Hari ini 30 Oktober 2013

Kakak maafin ayah ya, sering marahin kaka melulu.
Jadi anak yang sholehah ya Kak.

Maklum akhir-akhir ini ayah lagi pusing.
Bunda yang ga pernah memberikan kebahagian batin ke Ayah.
Ayah sangat marah sama Bunda.
Kenapa Bunda sangat marah diajak untuk beribadah, berbakti kepada ayah, menyenangkan hati ayah.
Heuhhhh .... capenya hati ini.

Ayah sudah sangat marah karena kelakukan Bunda yang begitu egois.
Ya Allah bukakan lah hatinya, pikirinnya, sadarkanlah apa yang diperbuatnya menyakiti hati seorang suami.

Cerita ini gambaran untuk ku, keluarga ku apabila aku sudah tiada.
Ya Allah jadikanlah hamba-Mu ini menjadi seorang Imam yang adil, tegas, bijaksana dan selalu mengucapkan rasa syukur apa yang telah Engkau berikan untuk ku dan keluarga ku.

Hanya kepada Mu lah hamba Mu memohon, berdoa dan meminta karena Engkau Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang.

I love U Allah

Kakak Diva, Dd Danish jadi anak yang sholeh ya Nak, jadilah orang yang baik dan berbudi luhur.
Ikutilah cita-cita mu.

Black Spots, Brown streaks
Description
Black spots and brown streaks appear as dark spots or streaks in the molded part and are usually caused by thermal damage to the melt.
Possible Solutions
  • Check the material for contamination.
  • Decrease the melt temperature.
  • Decrease the overall cycle time.
  • Purge and/or clean the screw and barrel.
  • Decrease the screw speed. High screw speeds may cause the material to degrade.
  • Material may have too much regrind content.
  • Material may be overdried. Decrease drying time/temperature. Refer to drying instructions provided by the material supplier.
  • Material may be prone to thermal degradation. It may be necessary to use a more thermally stable material.
  • Dead spots may be occurring, ensure that the alignment between the machine nozzle and mold sprue is correct.
  • Residence time may be too long, or the shot size may be too small for the machine. It may be necessary to move the mold to a machine with less injection capacity.
Blisters (Air Entrapment)
Description
Blisters are hollows created on or in the molded part. In contrast to a void (vacuum) this entrapped gas can also appear near the walls.
Possible Solutions
  • Decrease melt temperature.
  • Decrease screw speed.
  • Dry material.
  • Increase back pressure.
  • Increase mold temperature.
  • Ensure regrind is not too coarse.
  • Provide additional mold vents.
  • Relocate gate.
Brittleness
Description
Brittleness is a condition where the part cracks or breaks at a much lower stress level than would normally be expected based on the virgin material properties.
Possible Solutions
  • Check for material contamination.
  • Decrease amount of regrind use.
  • Decrease back pressure.
  • Decrease injection pressure.
  • Decrease screw speed.
  • Increase melt temperature.
  • Dry material. Refer to the drying instructions provided by the material supplier.
Bubbles
Description
Bubbles are similar to blisters in that there is air entrapped in the molded part.
Possible Solutions
  • Decrease injection speed.
  • Decrease injection temperature.
  • Dry material further.
  • Increase injection pressure.
  • Increase number and/or size of vents.
  • Increase shot size.
Burn Marks, Dieseling
Description
Burn Marks or Dieseling show up on the finish molded parts as charred or dark plastic caused by trapped gas and is usually accompanied by a distinctive burnt smell.
Note: If this problem is allowed to continue without fixing the root cause it will very quickly cause damage to the molding surface.
Possible Solutions
  • Alter gate position and/or increase gate size.
  • Check for heater malfunction.
  • Decrease booster time.
  • Decrease injection pressure.
  • Decrease injection speed.
  • Decrease melt and/or mold temperature.
  • Improve mold cavity venting. Vents may become smaller over time due to wear and they will need to be brought back to their original depth.
  • Reduce clamp force to improve venting. Vents may become smaller because they are being crushed by the clamping force. If it is possible to reduce the clamping force without causing flash then this should be done. Note: This is always good practice to minimize wear on the mold and machine.
  • Improve venting at the burn location. Burn marks often occur on deep ribs that have no venting. If possible it may be helpful to put an ejector pin or sleeve at the burnt area to allow the trapped gas to escape to atmosphere.
Cracking, Crazing
Description
Cracking or Crazing is caused by high internal molded in stress or by an external force imposed upon the part. They can also be caused by an incompatible external chemical being applied to the finished parts The cracks often don't appear until days or weeks after the parts have been molded.
Possible Solutions
  • Decrease injection pressure.
  • Dry material.
  • Increase cylinder temperature.
  • Increase mold temperature.
  • Increase nozzle temperature.
  • Modify injection speed.
  • If the material is partially crystalline then it may help to reduce the mold and/or melt temperature.
  • If the material is amorphous then it may help to increase the mold and/or melt temperature.
Delamination
Description
Delamination occurs when single surface layers start flaking off the molded part.
Possible Solutions
  • Adjust injection speed.
  • Check for material contamination. Incompatible resins or colorants may have been accidently mixed causing this condition to be seen.
  • Dry material.
  • Increase melt temperature.
  • Increase mold temperature.
  • Insufficient Blending. Check melt homogeneity and plasticizing performance.
Discoloration
Description
Discoloration is similar to burn marks or brown streaks but generally not as dark or severe. It may cause the part to be a darker shade than the virgin pellets and is often found nearest the gate area, however it can also appear as
dark streaks throughout the part.
Possible Solutions
  • Check hopper and feed zone for contamination.
  • Decrease back pressure.
  • Decrease melt temperature.
  • Decrease nozzle temperature.
  • Move mold to smaller shot-size press.
  • Provide additional vents in mold.
  • Purge heating cylinder.
  • Shorten overall cycle.
Excessive Flash
Description
Excessive Flash is often seen near sealing faces, out of vent grooves, or down ejector pins. It appears as thin or sometimes thick sections of plastic where it would not be on a normal part.
Note: Flash can very quickly (within a few cycles) damage the parting line surfaces.
Possible Solutions
  • Decrease back pressure.
  • Decrease cylinder temperature.
  • Decrease injection hold time.
  • Decrease injection pressure.
  • Decrease injection speed.
  • Decrease mold temperature.
  • Increase clamp pressure.
  • Check mold venting. Vents may have been ground too deep for the material being used.
  • Check sealing surfaces to ensure that they seal off properly by "blueing" them in under clamp tonnage.
  • Check ejector pin bore diameter to pin diameter tolerances. The tolerances may be too large allowing plastic to flash down the opening. The tolerances may be too large for the material being used and can occur due to wear over time.
Flow, Halo, Blush Marks
Description
Flow, Halo, Blush Marks are marks seen on the part due to flow of the molten plastic across the molding surface.
Possible Solutions
  • Decrease injection speed.
  • Increase cold slug area in size or number.
  • Increase injection pressure.
  • Increase melt temperature.
  • Increase mold temperature.
  • Increase nozzle temperature.
  • Increase size of sprue/runner/gate.
Gate Stringing, Drooling
Description
The part does not break cleanly from the gate area.
Possible Solutions
  • Insufficient cooling time during the cycle.
  • Excessive heat in the gate area. Check thermocouple in the nozzle or decrease the temperature of the hot runner manifold and nozzle.
  • Increase cooling at the gate area.Ensure that you have controllable turbulent flow in the gate area.
Gels
Description
Gels are bubbles, or blisters seen on or in the part due to poor melt quality.
Possible Solutions
  • Change screw speed.
  • Increase back pressure.
  • Increase cylinder temperature.
  • Increase overall cycle time.
  • Increase plasticating capacity of machine or use machine with large plasticating capacity.
Jetting
Description
Jetting is caused by an undeveloped frontal flow of melt in the cavity. The uninterrupted plastic flows or "snakes" into the cavity and cools off enough so that it does not fuse homogeneously with the material that follows.
Possible Solutions
  • Decrease injection speed.
  • Change the melt temperature, up or down.
  • Use higher compression screw.
  • Increase the gate diameter.
  • Move the gate so that when the plastic first enters the cavity it hits an obstruction such as a rib or wall.
Material Leakage
Description
Material Leakage is usually caused by material forces overcoming the structural strength of the mold.
NOTE: One sign that indicates that material has leaked is that the manifold reaches processing temperature very slowly.
Possible Solutions
  • Manifold locator is oversize.
  • Processing temperature may be too low causing increased pressure in the manifold.
  • Manifold locator may be hobbed into the mold. Decrease the force applied to the nozzle pad by the machine then repair the damaged area, then check and if necessary replace the locator.
  • Insufficient number of mold assembly screws. Ensure that the quantity, type of screw, and the location of the screws correspond to the general assembly drawing.
  • Nozzle may have overheated causing damage to the seal or gate. Check/replace the thermocouple in the nozzle, then check and if necessary repair the nozzle well area.
  • Manifold may have overheated. Check and replace if necessary the following components; nozzle well area, thermocouple, valve disks, sprue disks, or pressure disks.
Oversized Part

Possible Solutions
  • Decrease booster time.
  • Decrease cylinder temperature.
  • Decrease holding pressure.
  • Decrease injection pressure.
  • Decrease injection speed.
  • Decrease overall cycle time.
  • Increase gate size and/or change gate location.
  • Increase mold temperature.
Part Sticking
Description

  • Decrease cylinder and nozzle temperature.
  • Decrease injection pressure.
  • Decrease injection-hold.
  • Decrease mold cavity temperature.
  • Increase clamp pressure.
  • Increase mold-close time.
  • Texturing on part is too deep. The parts may stick in the cavity if a new texture or a retexturing has been performed on the cavity half of the mold.
  • If possible add undercuts to the core to allow the part to pull out of the cavity.
Short Shot (Incomplete Filled Parts)
Description
Short Shots occur when the part does not completely fill.
Possible Solutions
  • Increase back pressure.
  • Increase injection pressure.
  • Increase injection speed.
  • Increase melt temperature.

  • Confirm that the non-return valve used is not leaking excessively.
  • Increase the switch over pressure, distance, or time (whichever method is being used) point from fill to hold so the fill stage is used longer.
  • Change part design. Thin areas of the mold may not fill completely, especially if there is a thick to thin transition, or there is a long rib that cannot be vented very well. If the part design allows it, change in these areas can
    improve the situation.
Sink Marks

  • Decrease injection rate. Do this if the sink marks are near the gate or thick walled areas.
  • Dry material.
  • Increase injection pressure. Do this if the sink marks are away from the gate or in thin walled areas.
  • Increase injection speed. Do this if the sink marks are away from the gate or in thin walled areas.
  • Increase mold temperature. Do this if the sink marks are away from the gate or in thin walled areas.
  • Increase injection-hold.
  • Increase shot size and confirm that the a cushion is being maintained.
  • Increase size of sprue and/or runners and/or gates.
  • Relocate gates on or as near as possible to thick sections.
  • Increase cooling time.
  • If possible change the mold design to maintain an even wall thickness throughout the part.
Splay Marks, Silver Streaks
Description
Splay Marks, Silver Streaks are usually caused by water vapor blisters at the flow front burst and freeze on the wall of the molding surface.
Possible Solutions
  • Check for contamination.
  • Decrease melt temperature.
  • Decrease nozzle temperature.
  • Dry resin pellets before use. As per the manufacturers recommendations.

Possible Solutions
  • Valve pin is too short. Check and replace if necessary.
  • Valve pin fit. Ensure that the valve pin is lapped to the gate steel when appropriate.
  • Damaged gate. Check if valve pin is too long, rework if necessary. Also check to ensure that the valve pin is concentric with the gate, if not replace it.
  • Hydraulic / Pneumatic seals may be worn. Replace as necessary.
  • Insufficient pin/land area in the gate area of the mold. Increase the gate area cooling, or increase the valve pin land contact.
  • Insufficient hydraulic or air pressure. Increase the pressure up to but not beyond the maximum rating of the unit being used.
  • Excessive hold time. Decrease the hold time.
