Failure modes to watch for
Every guide in the Sumitomo SHI Demag Sumitomo IntElect Med library lists the candidate root causes its procedure rules out. These are the distinct failure modes we've documented so far, a useful starting point if you don't yet know which specific alarm or symptom you're chasing.
Pack pressure too high for the mold clamping force, opening the parting line
Clamping force set below the process specification or degraded from tie bar wear
Mold parting line worn or damaged, creating a gap that fills with melt
Mold misaligned on the platens from an improper installation
Injection speed too low for the part geometry and resin viscosity
Gate temperature too cold, causing premature freeze-off before fill is complete
Shot size set too small, leaving insufficient material for the part and runner
Barrel temperature too low causing high melt viscosity and resistance to flow
Tools you'll need most
These tools are referenced most often across the Sumitomo SHI Demag Sumitomo IntElect Med troubleshooting guides. If you service this equipment regularly, keep them on the cart.

How to fix flash defect on parts from a Sumitomo IntElect Med injection molding machine
Flash is usually excessive pack pressure or clamping force loss from mold wear or incorrect set-point. Verify clamping force and pack pressure before inspecting the mold parting line.
How to fix part dimensional variation on a Sumitomo IntElect Med injection molding machine
Part dimensional variation is usually a holding pressure drift, a cooling time change, or a mold temperature non-uniformity. Check shot weight consistency and mold temperature first.
How to fix short shot or incomplete fill on a Sumitomo IntElect Med injection molding machine
Short shots are usually insufficient injection speed, a cold or blocked gate, or insufficient shot volume. Check the gate temperature and injection speed profile before increasing hold pressure.
