How to detect and address mold wear causing tile dimension deviation on a Sacmi PH / PCR press
Tile dimension deviation is most often caused by mold wear. Measure the cavity dimensions during the next planned stop and replace or refurbish the mold when wear exceeds the tolerance.
How to fix powder feed inconsistency on a Sacmi PH / PCR tile press
Tile weight variation from the press is almost always a powder feed carriage speed issue or a hopper level problem. Check the carriage stroke, fill shoe condition, and hopper level control before adjusting the fill weight.
How to diagnose hydraulic pressure loss on a Sacmi PH / PCR tile press
Low pressing force means the hydraulic pump is delivering below the rated pressure or the accumulator pre-charge is low. Check the pump output and accumulator before tracing individual cylinder seals.
