What are the merits of all electric injection Moulding?

Ideal for cleanroom production – no leakage of oil. Cost savings over the time of production – lower operation costs due to energy savings, less consumable expenses like oil filter change, lower unit costs and less material costs. Typically higher injection speeds (up to 800 mm/sec) and even faster clamp motion.

What is hybrid injection molding machine?

A New Kind of Hydraulic-Electric Hybrid Unlike the typical hybrid, a new electric-based hybrid injection molding machine for the first time delivers electric efficiency along with hydraulic force. The new system uses a hydraulic accumulator to provide the force that would otherwise require an all-hydraulic machine.

How to choose an injection molding machine?

Plastic Injection Molding Machine Selection Process Know the plastic parts you intend to mold Select machine type: Hydraulic, hybrid or electric Calculate clamp tonnage requirements Calculate the injection unit size.

What equipment is needed for injection molding?

Injection unit. The injection unit is responsible for both heating and injecting the material into the mold.

Clamping unit. Prior to the injection of the molten plastic into the mold,the two halves of the mold must first be securely closed by the clamping unit.

Machine specifications. Injection molding machines are typically characterized by the tonnage of the clamp force they provide.

What alternatives are there to injection molding?

Urethane Casting

3D Printing

Thermoforming

CNC Machining

3D Printed Molds

What is the working principle of an injection molding machine?

Plastication. The raw materials of plastics fall into the charging barrel from the hopper and are sent forward by the rotating screw.

Injection. When the screw stops rotating and moves backward,the mold clamping part begins to work to close the mold and the injection unit subsequently moves forward to make
