How to Set Up Mold Protect on Your Injection Machine

How to Set Up Mold Protect on Your Injection Machine

      Why we need to set mold protection to prevent damage? Beside the injection molding machine itself, the second most expensive piece of equipment we use on a daily basis is the mold. If the molds are damaged, you are not only responsible for the cost of maintenance, but also for downtime and labor costs.If done correctly, the mold can rest on something as thin as a business card. Here are three key components for setting up mold protection on injection molding machines:   1. Starting position of mold protection When do you reach the point in the mold where you might break when the mold is closed? In the figure above, this point is when the mold touches the guide pin. This is where we

Advantages and Disadvantages of injection molding machine

The use of injection molding machine is becoming more and more of a concern in the industrial industry currently,. Do you know why people want to use injection molding machine? What good does it bring? Here are some of my views. Only for reference. Plastic Moulding Advantages 1.Fast Cycle times can be as low as 10 seconds. Combine that with a multi-impression injection moulding tool and you get a LOT of products very quickly. Generally speaking, it takes a bit longer as it’s a specialist material and has a lot of features to be moulded correctly, but at about 50 seconds you’d still get 70 parts per cavity per hour. CNC machining a one-off would take half a day – 3D printing it even longer! 2. Low cost

Injection molding process of mobile phone case

Injection molding process Mobile phone shell is usually made of PC(polycarbonate) or PC+ABS material molding, due to the relatively poor liquidity of PC, so the process is usually filled with high mold temperature, high material temperature; The gate used is usually the point gate, and graded injection molding should be used when filling, to find the gate position and the V-P(injection – pressure maintaining) switching position, which will be of great help to solve the gate mark and underinjection fly-side and other anomalies. The following is the main molding conditions of mobile phone products, introducing the melt temperature, mold temperature, injection speed, back pressure and other molding parameters setting points for attention. Melting temperature and mold temperature The optimal setting of molding temperature is related to many factors,

Operation process of injection molding machine

1.1 Introduction to the working principle of injection molding The working principle of injection molding machine is similar to that of syringe infusion. It uses the thrust of screw (or plunger) to inject the plastic that has been plasticized into the closed injection mold cavity at high pressure and high speed. After cooling and curing, plastic products with the shape of the mold cavity are obtained. Injection molding is a cyclic process, each cycle mainly includes: quantitative feeding a melting plasticizing a pressure injection a filling cooling a mold lifting parts. After removing the plastic part, the mold is closed again and the next cycle is carried out. 1.2 Application of injection molding machine Injection molding processing method can be shaped complex shape, complex structure, high dimensional precision

What is the meaning of the number on the bottom of the plastic bottle?

The plastic bottles we often drink have triangular symbols on the back for plastic recycling. The triangles have 1-7 numbers, each representing a different material. The number 1 represents PET, or polyethylene terephthalate Mineral water bottles, carbonated drink bottles are made of this material. Dong Jinshi pointed out that hot water can not be recycled in beverage bottles. This material is heat-resistant to 70℃, which is only suitable for warm or frozen drinks. When loaded with high temperature liquid or heated, it is easy to deform and dissolve harmful substances to human body. Scientists found that after 10 months of use, the plastic could release carcinogens and become toxic to humans. So when you’re done, throw it away. Don’t use it as a water cup, or use it

Classification of injection molding machines

Do you know the types of injection molding machines? Injection molding machine is divided into the following five types: Vertical injection molding machine Features: Easy to achieve insert molding. Because the surface of the mold is facing up, the inserts are easily placed and positioned. The lower template is fixed and the upper template is movable. If the pull-belt conveying device is combined with the mechanical palm, the automatic insert molding can be easily realized. The weight of the mold is supported by the horizontal template for up and down opening and closing action, will not occur similar to the horizontal machine due to the mold gravity caused by the forward fall, so that the template can not open and close the phenomenon. Equipped with rotary table, mobile

Maintenance of screw cylinder of injection molding machine

  There are the following points for attention in the maintenance of screw tube of injection molding machine: Do not start the machine when the barrel does not reach the preset temperature. The new electric heating is generally required to reach the set temperature 30 minutes before operating the screw. If the machine stops for more than half an hour each time, it is best to close the blanking port and shoot clean the material in the cylinder, and set the insulation Avoid foreign matter falling into the barrel and damaging the screw and barrel. Prevent metal debris and debris from falling into the hopper. If the recycled material is processed, magnetic hopper should be added to prevent iron filings from entering the barrel.
