A two-stage Injection Control Unit (ICU) is said to provide levels of accuracy and reliability until now unavailable to injection molders using reciprocating screw technology. Launched by plastication ...

Injection is the process step in injection molding that is most critical. The injection speed profile and its repeatability have a direct influence on the internal and external properties of a part.

The criteria for selecting a Liquid Silicone Rubber injection molding machine are very similar to selecting a machine for standard thermoplastic injection molding, with some key differences. Let’s ...

Machine and process troubleshooting are the most important factors in controlling process and reducing defects. Poorly performing presses lead to process variance and uncontrollable scrap events, and ...

We have investigated the fundamental characteristics of unit injectors and pump-line-nozzle systems theoretically by a graphical analysis of characteristic lines. We have confirmed the higher ...

To achieve the future emissions regulations with low particulate and Nox levels, both the engine combustion system and the fuel injection equipment will have to be improved. For the fuel injection ...

Engineering researchers have fabricated a palm-sized, automated, micro-injector that can insert proteins, DNA and other biomolecules into individual cells at volumes exponentially higher than current ...

Injection molding is a critical manufacturing process, and has been so for a long time. It still has room to improve in several areas however, and “smart” injection molding equipment is gaining ...
