Choosing injection molding machine is crucial for achieving high-quality production, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
Here are factors that we should pay attention to when selecting injection molding machines.
- Shot size of the injection molding machine
- Space between tie bars of the injection molding machine
- Opening stroke of the injection molding machine
- Working stability, and reliability of injection molding machine
- Safety of injection molding machine
Injection molding machines are widely used in the manufacture of various plastic products, such as automotive parts, electronic product housings, household appliance parts, etc. Its high efficiency, precision, and flexibility make it an important part of modern manufacturing.
Here are some important factors that we should pay attention to when selecting injection machines:
Shot size of the selecting injection molding machine
The shot size of the plastic injection molding machine is the maximum amount of material (resin) the screw injects into the mold in one cycle.
The shot size is an important parameter of an injection molding machine, and it is the most useful and critical parameter for selecting an injection molding machine. Another factor is plastic raw materials, different plastic raw materials have different densities, which also influence the selection of an injection molding machine.
Space between tie bars
Tie Bar Spacing is defined as the space between the horizontal tie bars on an injection molding machine. Basically, this measurement, along with the platen max spacing, determines the maximum size of molds that can be placed in the molding machine.
The relationship between the mold installation area limit of the injection molding machine and the tie bar spacing is that the mold size determines the length and width of the mold, while the tie rod spacing determines the height of the mold, and the two together affect whether the mold can be successfully installed on the injection molding machine.
Opening stroke
In the application of injection molding machines, the opening stroke also involves ensuring that the mold can open and close smoothly to facilitate the removal of parts and the filling of new parts.
The influence of the mold opening stroke of the injection molding machine on the process parameter setting is mainly reflected in the debugging and installation process of the mold. The mold opening stroke refers to the moving distance of the mold on the injection molding machine, which determines the position adjustment range of the mold during the injection molding process.
Working stability, and reliability of injection molding machine
The stability of the injection molding machine is reflected in many aspects, including the smooth operation of the mold clamping mechanism and the injection system in each cycle, and the silent operation without impact. In addition, the hydraulic system is the core part of the injection molding machine, and its design and maintenance are crucial to the stability of the pressure.
Safety of injection molding machine
The world’s first unified international safety standard for injection molding machines, ISO 20430, was released in 2020, providing a globally unified safety standard for injection molding machine manufacturers. The standard specifies the design and manufacturing requirements for injection molding machines to ensure their safety under the expected conditions of use.
Choosing the right injection molding machine is very important. Please select the most suitable manufacturer after comparison. Finally, we recommend our Haichen Machine, China’s top injection molding machine manufacturer. We provide high-quality injection molding machines to clients.
