1) Two shot machine with two independent injection units
2) Molding one part using two different materials or colors
3) Two cavity mold (one + one)
4) First material injected into first cavity, mold opens and rotates to second cavity position, mold closes and second material is injected. After sufficient part cooling, the mold is opened and the part is ejected.
5) Critical factors:
material(s) melt temperature
mold wall temperature
injection speed
delay time between injections
component part temperature
The two-shot process requires a machine with two independent injection units, each of which shoots different material. The first material is injected through a primary runner system, as in a normal injection molding cycle. During the injection, the mold volume to be occupied by the second material is shut off from the primary runner system. The mold is then opened and the core plate rotated 180 degrees. The mold is again closed and the secondary runner system is connected to the volume to be filled. After sufficient part cooling, the mold is opened and the part is ejected.
The two-shot process can also be accomplished with an indexing system (a round table rotating around a horizontal axis) with a primary and secondary station. While the first injection is accomplished at station #1, the second injection is accomplished at station #2. Each injection station is run by an independent injection unit. This allows injection speeds and pressures to be controlled for each material being utilized.

this is a good article, it is worth recommending to read
now two-shot plastic injection molding technology has been very mature
Two-shot injection molding is more and more popular in our mold industry
this article is worth reading, because two-shot plastic injection molding has been more and more popular
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and everything.
However think of if you added some great pictures or video clips to
give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and
video clips, this site could undeniably be one of the
most beneficial in its niche. Good blog!
that is a great ideal
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this
matter to be really something which I think I would never
understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for
me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
