An injection molding machine (also spelled as injection moulding machine in BrE), also known as an injection press, is a machine for manufacturing plastic products by the injection molding process. It consists of two main parts, an injection unit and a clamping unit .
Injection moulding (U.S. spelling: injection molding) is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mould, or mold. Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials mainly including metals (for which the process is called die-casting ), glasses , elastomers , confections , and most commonly ...
This is the least-used of the three blow molding processes, and is typically used to make small medical and single serve bottles. The process is divided into three steps: injection, blowing and ejection. The injection blow molding machine is based on an extruder barrel and screw assembly which melts the polymer. The molten polymer is fed into a ...
A two-stage and all-electric injection unit accomplished by an extruder and injection plunger; An all-electric injection unit with 14 mm screw to inject the polymer melt into the mold; Arburg developed a micro injection molding machine with an 8 mm injection to ensure high degree of dosing precision.
In-mould labelling is a popular method of decorating injection molded parts for consumer electronics and for plastic bottles. Notebook computer and cellphone manufacturers are adopting IML technology for greater wear resistance than spray painting or pad-printing. IML can provide greater decorating options than other methods.
The basic concept of the gas-assisted molding process is quite similar to the regular injection molding process. In gas-assisted molding, the plastic material is injected into the mold cavities like the regular injection molding process but only up to 70%~80% of the mold volume. The melted plastic in contact with the mold walls begins to ...
Mold open cycle Injection cycle Part ejection cycle. A hot runner system is an assembly of heated components used in plastic injection molds that inject molten plastic into the cavities of the mold. (The cavities are the part of the mold shaped like the parts to be produced.)
Bulk moulding compound (BMC), bulk moulding composite, or dough moulding compound (DMC), [1] is a ready-to-mold, glass-fiber reinforced thermoset polymer material primarily used in compression moulding, as well as in injection moulding and transfer moulding. [1]
