China Injection Molding



 China Injection Molding



In the machine industry, there are many people who are aware that Plastic Injection Molding is just as necessary and important as any other machining process. Plastic injection molding equipment should be purchased after considering the following factors: shot volume, tie bar distance, ejector travel, platen dimensions, and tonnage.



Shot Volume

An injection molding machine’s shot size refers to how much plastic it can inject into a mold cavity during a single molding cycle. In the U.S., the amount of “general purpose polystyrene” (GPPS) is measured in ounces, while in Europe and Asia it is measured in cm3.




It is a good idea to always search for a machine that can produce 30-40% more shots than the size of your parts.



Platen Dimensions

Platens are the tools that hold the cavity of the mold. Platens are inserted and clamped securely to the mold, which is spaced apart. During the molding process, the two platens are brought together and held under tonnage pressure. Following heat and injection, the plastic is cooled through a cooling cycle. Several tons of pressure are applied to hold the plastic in place as it takes on its final shape after hardening.



Tie Bar Distance

Injection molding machines have horizontal tie-bars, termed “tie bar spacing,” between which the molds are installed. Accordingly, the holes in the platen allow molds to be ejected. These measurements determine the maximum size of molds that will fit in the molding machine, along with the platen maximum spacing.



Ejector distance

With an ejector stroke, the machine pushes the workpieces from the plates with the assistance of ejector pins. During the molding process, the ejector is attached to ejector rods or pins on the mold which push the molded part out after the plastic has hardened.



Tonnage

As far as clamp pressure is concerned, it could be viewed as the same as when you examine press brakes. For press brakes, the tonnage capacity is measured by the amount of downforce that can be directed towards the workpiece. The amount of force that injection molding machines can apply to the platens, which support the mold cavity, is measured in tons by how much plastic can be injected into the cavity.




Molding begins with the melt plastic flowing in the mold and working its way out of the cavity by extruding the ejector pins. When pin movement is timed with mold opening, it helps prevent pins that are moving too quickly from damaging the plastic workpiece or pins that are moving too slowly from not ejecting the molded part completely.

What Is Plastic Mold?   What is plastic mold? The tooling used for plastic injection molding is called plastic mold or plastic injection mold . Most plastic products are molded by plastic molds. Plastic molds are divided into two types: thermosetting and thermoplastic mold ,according to the molding plastic characteristics. Based on the molding process, the plastic mold is divided into plastic injection mold, blow mold, casting mold, pressing mold,and so on. The injection mold is made up of two main sections: the moving half and the fixed half. The moving half is mounted on the moving platen of the injection molding equipment, and the stationary half is mounted on the stationary platen. Over the injection molding, the moving and the stationary half are shut to develop an injection structure and a cavity structure. Once the mold is open, the moving half and the stationary half are split up to clear away the plastic item from the plastic mold. As a way to decrease the mol...

Injection product stress mark solution

On plastic injection products, especially for raw materials such as ABS, PP and PC, you will often see shiny stress marks on the surface of products, such as injector pin stress marks, insert stress marks and stress marks of wall thickness difference . These apparent shiny, white markings are the result of internal stresses , which are nothing more than orientation and cooling shrinkage stresses. The irregular stress marks near the gate are caused by the typical orientation stress, and the difference of wall thickness is the result of orientation and contraction stress, those stress marks are made by ejector pins and sliders . Normally , with the increase of holding pressure and time, the first occurrence is the stress mark of wall thickness difference, the stress mark of ejector pin, then the stress mark of meat thickness difference, and finally the irregular stress mark near the gate (gray section will appear on the side), which of course also depends on the specific structure of the...
