摘要:
A process of forming molded articles using an injection molding apparatus is provided. The process includes providing a thermoplastic material to the injection molding apparatus. The thermoplastic material is heated such that the thermoplastic material is in a molten state. The molten thermoplastic material is injected into at least one mold cavity of the injection molding apparatus using an injection element. Melt pressure of the thermoplastic material filling the at least one mold cavity is monitored using a sensor. The sensor provides a signal indicative of melt pressure to a controller. The controller controls introduction of a non-reactive additive to the thermoplastic material thereby changing a viscosity of the molten thermoplastic material based on the signal. A molded article is formed by reducing a mold temperature of the thermoplastic material within the at least one mold cavity.
摘要:
In order to injection mold parts at a constant flow front velocity in a mold cavity of an injection molding system, particularly where the mold cavity has a varying thickness along its length, mold modeling software is used to calculate the cross-sectional area as a function of the distance from the gate, percentage of fill, or length of the mold cavity. Based on that cross-sectional area, the mold modeling software determines an appropriate recommended ram force profile and/or melt pressure profile that would result in filling the mold cavity at a constant flow rate. An injection molding system is then operated according to the recommended ram force profile and/or melt pressure profile.

A method for monitoring, documenting, and/or controlling an injection molding machine (P) having an injection molding tool (1) into which a melt is introduced, wherein a viscosity of the melt in the injection molding tool (1) is determined directly.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for monitoring and/or controlling the melt filling of at least one cavity (5) of an injection moulding machine (P), in particular, by means of a cold channel tool (2). The invention also monitors the time which is required for the melt to reach the sensor (10) in the cavity (5) and modifies the viscosity of the melt in the event of variations and/or differentiations in said time.
摘要:
Controlling viscosity of molten polymers, such as polycarbonate, prior to a molding operation such as injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming or blow molding, involves a reduction of viscosity in the plastic melt at constant temperature, by the action of a vigorous mechanical extensional shear vibration, with minimum or no external pressure, at a constant amplitude and frequency, causing the melt to become highly elastic and simultaneously fatigued for a certain time at that temperature, maintaining this high elastic state until the macromolecules have partially or totally disentangled, in a controllable manner, at which stage the melt is ready for a molding operation such as a simple quenching operation or an extrusion process followed by quenching to produce pellets or compounds with a better mix or a lower viscosity when remelted, or an injection molding operation where the melt viscosity has been greatly reduced allowing a better processability of the injected part.
摘要:
Provided is an injection molding machine including an injection unit including a cylinder that heats a molding material, and a screw rotatably disposed within the cylinder; and a monitoring unit that monitors the temperature of the injection unit. The screw includes a rotating shaft; a first spiral flight that protrudes from an outer periphery of the rotating shaft, and a second spiral flight that partitions a groove formed by the first flight. The height of the second flight is lower than the height of the first flight. The monitoring unit monitors the temperature of the second flight and/or its vicinity during the rotation of the screw, and determines the molten state of the molding material on the basis of monitoring results.
