Cooling controls cycle time and dimensional stability. Scale in the circuits is an excellent insulator, so a partially blocked circuit means one area of the tool runs hot — producing warp and sink on one side of a part while the process readouts look completely normal.
The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.
Cooling controls cycle time and dimensional stability. Scale in the circuits is an excellent insulator, so a partially blocked circuit means one area of the tool runs hot — producing warp and sink on one side of a part while the process readouts look completely normal.
Cycle time creeping up, warpage that appears on some cavities and not others, and eventually a circuit blocked badly enough to need drilling out.
Every six months, and flow-test at every mold service. Water quality drives this far more than time — untreated hard water can block circuits in a single campaign.
This procedure — and every other PM for your industry — is already built into ChatterFix. Pick your industry and it lands on the right equipment, on the right interval, in about three minutes.
