Add your first injection molding machine to see the schedule. Sorted by urgency, the next due item is always on top.

Field notes from maintenance practice

Two clocks matter on a molding machine and this register can hold both as separate lines: the machine itself (hydraulics, heaters, controls) and each mold (vents, pins, water channels) — molds are tools with their own PM life, usually scheduled per 100k–250k shots but manageable on calendar for steady production.

Log water-channel flow per mold at PM — half of 'process drift' complaints trace to scaled cooling channels, found in minutes with a flow meter. Run the register on whatever device lives where the work happens — a workshop tablet beats a spreadsheet on someone's laptop, because the person doing the job sees the list.

About Injection Molding Machine PM Scheduler

This scheduler keeps a living register of your injection molding machines: add each one with its last service date and interval, and the board computes due dates, sorts by urgency and flags anything overdue or due within 14 days. One tap (✓) marks a service done and restarts that asset's clock. Molders typically run quarterly PM (hydraulics, heaters, tie-bar checks) with an annual major service; high-cycle shops shorten to monthly platen and toggle lubrication.

How to use Injection Molding Machine PM Scheduler

  1. 1Add each asset with its last service date and interval — presets reflect the cited standard, and you can override per asset.
  2. 2The register sorts itself by urgency: overdue first, then due-soon (≤14 days), with a badge per asset.
  3. 3Tick ✓ when a service is done to reset that asset's clock to today — the whole register persists in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a injection molding machine be serviced or inspected?+

Molders typically run quarterly PM (hydraulics, heaters, tie-bar checks) with an annual major service; high-cycle shops shorten to monthly platen and toggle lubrication. Severe duty, harsh environments or regulatory requirements shorten it — and your OEM manual, insurer or local code always takes precedence over the generic default.

Why do tie-bar and platen checks deserve their own schedule line?+

Because uneven tie-bar strain is the silent killer: it flashes parts, wears the toggle and can crack a platen — and it develops slowly from mold-clamping habits, so nobody notices day to day. A quarterly tie-bar strain check (strain gauges or growth measurement) plus platen parallelism check catches it; add it as its own asset line so it can't hide inside a generic 'PM done'.

Some of my units work much harder than others — same interval for all?+

No — set per-asset intervals: this register stores an interval with each injection molding machine, so the hard-worked unit can run a shorter clock than the spare. Halving the interval for severe duty (dust, heat, continuous running) is the standard rule of thumb, and the due list re-sorts automatically.

A service was missed by months — restart the clock or double up?+

Do the full service now and reset the clock from today (the ✓ button does exactly that). Don't 'average' missed intervals — inspect more thoroughly than usual instead, because the injection molding machine just ran an unplanned extended interval and any developing problem had extra time to grow.
