Plastic Injection Mold Slides

PLASTIC INJECTION MOLD SLIDES

For simple molded products, ejection often requires a simple motion of ejector pins. These can work with conventional ejection mechanisms. Even complex designs can have very simple ejection mechanisms. The challenge comes with products designed with undercuts. These are parts with holes or grooves on the sides that disrupt a straight part ejection. It would be impossible to eject the product without damaging it in such a case. This sort of product poses an added challenge to the mold maker. It also results in added costs to the process. To address such complexity in injection molding slides get used. This

Draft Angle For Injection Molding

DRAFT ANGLE FOR INJECTION MOLDING

Plastic injection molding is a manufacturing process that demands efficiency in every aspect. From the feeding of plastic pellets to the ejection of formed products. Carrying out every aspect with efficiency contributes to cost and time-saving. It is not enough that a product has formed well in the mold. The whole cycle can fail right at the end when the product gets ejected. This then leads to part rejection. This is where the draft angle comes in. The draft angle is one of the universal features in injection molding. Although it is often overlooked when discussing injection molding. It is

INJECTION MOLD STEEL TYPES

The mold is a key part of the injection molding process. Every part of the injection molding machine is important in equal measures. But the part where the product finally forms is the mold. The state of the plastic, the pressure of injection, and the gate size. These are some of the factors that affect product quality. The material of fabrication of the mold is also an important factor. It not only affects product quality, it also affects the efficiency of the entire process. The mold material affects the rate of cooling of the plastic, the precision, and surface shine.

2 SHOT INJECTION MOLDING

The conventional injection molding process manufactures products that meet diverse industry needs. But some products need some modifications to the conventional injection molding process. This could be to achieve a more complex design or to make the production process more efficient. Such advancement could result in significant cost reduction and time-saving.  2 shot injection molding is one of such advances in conventional injection molding. It is adaptable to the production of complex designs using a wide range of materials. 2 shot injection molding achieves high quality of products. It is a well-established technology in the manufacturing industry.  A description of

Thin Wall Molding

THIN WALL MOLDING-ITS IMPORTANCE IN PARTS MANUFACTURING

Thin wall molding is gaining popularity due to its lower material cost and high production output. A thin wall refers to an electronic part that has a wall thickness of less than 1mm. For large size parts, the thickness can increase to some extent as 2mm. Injection molding maximum wall thickness for large parts may be 2mm to 4mm. Thin wall plastic parts rely on the thickness of parts. Flow length for thickness ratio and velocity also affects the thickness of the wall. We can make changes in wall thickness with: Fast Cooling Time High Speed And Pressure Part Ejection

Pa6 Injection Molding

ABOUT PA66 INJECTION MOLDING

Nylon66 or PA66 as it is also known as polyamide. Polyamides are a class of polymers which are thermoplastics.  characterized by the amide group in their repeating unit. They find use in many applications. The 6,6 here relates to the two structural units that make the repeating unit. It comprises a carboxylic acid and amine compound with 6 carbons each. PA66’s repeating unit is a combination of hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid. There are several other forms of nylon with a varying number of carbons. All have different properties so these numbers are important. They distinguish the different types of

ABOUT GLASS FIBRE INJECTION MOLDING

Glass fibers combine the properties of glass with those of plastics.  This makes injection molding possible. But the injection molding of glass fibers is quite different from that of plastics. In this article, you’ll learn about glass fibers and how they are injection molded.  The injection molding of glass fiber is an interesting area. Glass fibers have transformed the processing and application of glass. It has done the same for plastics. The field of glass molding may seem to have lost a lot of attention to plastics in the past years. Today plastics such as polycarbonate and PMMA have replaced

HOW TO CHOOSE PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING MATERIALS FOR PART

Now more than ever, manufacturers have more choice of plastics. Likewise, the possibilities of products made with plastics are endless. Consumer goods, vehicle parts machines, cosmetics food, healthcare, and more. Plastics seem to have found their way into all areas of our lives. Many of us are aware of the 7 recycle signs. Those are only a small fraction of the number of plastics that exist. The plastic number 7 which indicates “other” contains more types of plastics than 1 to 6 put together. Nylons, polymethyl methacrylates, polyurethanes, acetyl butyl styrene, polyvinyl acetate, polyacrylonitrile. These are some examples of other
