Hole-making is a class of machining operations that are specifically used to cut a hole into a workpiece. Machining, a material removal process, creates features on a part by cutting away the unwanted material and requires a machine, workpiece, fixture, and cutting tool. […]
Plastic has, quite literally, become the cornerstone of our society. We make so many things from plastic that it is hard to imagine what our lives would be like if it was never invented. […]
A CNC machine tool is a powered mechanical device used to fabricate metal components of machines by the selective removal of metal. […]
Reaction injection molding is used in many industries for many types of parts. While bumpers for vehicles are produced in this process, most applications are for large, complex parts produced in quantities less than 5,000 units. […]
A quality hot runner system is one of the more important enhancements you can incorporate into a mold to improve molded part quality, reduce production times and remain price competitive. […]
Injection molding is a complex technology with possible production problems. They can either be caused by defects in the molds or more often by part processing (molding) […]
The mold consists of two primary components, the injection mold (A plate) and the ejector mold (B plate). Plastic resin enters the mold through a sprue in the injection mold, the sprue bushing is to seal tightly against the nozzle of the injection barrel of the molding machine and to allow molten plastic to flow [...]
It is important when designing products for injection molding that you consider how they will be formed in the machine, how they will be taken out of the machine, and the structure of the final product. Some important guidelines are: […]
Plastic injection mould manufacture is a highly competitive operation. Today’s products have shorter lifecycles. Reducing the mould design and manufacturing lead-time while maintaining high mould quality is thus a challenge to the plastic injection mould making industry in or to remain competitive. […]
Injection products processing products in cracking analysis of the causes and solutions Cracking, including parts of filamentous surface cracks, micro-, white top, and cracking due to mold parts sticky, viscous flow mode caused by trauma or crisis, according to the release at the time cracking and cracking applications. There are several reasons: […]
