What is toggle in injection Moulding machine?

Toggle clamping is mainly used for high speed injection molding, whereas for precision parts, ram clamping is recommended. Toggle units are typically more energy efficient than ram units, however the energy used by the toggle clamping unit is small when compared to the energy used by the ram injection unit.

What are the main essential parts of an injection Moulding machine?

The main parts of the Injection molding machine are material hopper, barrel, an injection ram/ rotating screw type plunger, heating device (heater), movable pattern, ejectors, and a mold inside mold cavity. Generally injection molding machines works in horizontal manner.

How much power does an injection molding machine use?

A typical injection molding plant (Fig. 1) will have a process load in the region of 0.9 to 1.6 kwh/kg (0.4-0.73 kwh/lb).

What is automatic injection Moulding machine?

A compact, precision, automatic molding machine has a twin-cylinder hydraulic 10-ton clamp with a vertical injection unit, permitting the use of molds that apply a parting line injection design. The machine can be placed near assembly areas and can be integrated into a product assembly line.

What is a toggle machine?

toggle mechanism, combination of solid, usually metallic links (bars), connected by pin (hinge) joints that are so arranged that a small force applied at one point can create a much larger force at another point.

What is Ram injection molding?

Injection moulding uses a ram or screw-type plunger to force molten plastic or rubber material into a mould cavity; this solidifies into a shape that has conformed to the contour of the mould.

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 does the injection molding machine work?

The working principle of the injection molding machine is similar to the syringe used for injection. It uses the thrust of the screw (or plunger) to inject the plasticized plastic in the molten state (that is, the viscous fluid state) into the closed mold cavity.

Should I slow down my machine when mold is low pressure?

If you need to slow your machine down to ensure low pressure is working, do so. Set mold protection to be on during the entire mold-closing cycle if you have a machine that can monitor the entire stroke and will stop and alarm is anything is out of a normal band.

What tonnage of clamp force does my mold need?

Find the correct tonnage of clamp force this mold requires and set it appropriately; do not assume that full clamp force is needed. Too much clamp force—especially on small molds—damages both the mold and machine. According to SPE/SPI guidelines, the mold should occupy at least 70\% of the distance between the tiebars.

How often should mold protection be done by the machine controller?

Each mold has its own particular requirements, and machine controllers handle mold protection in a number of ways. But it should be done daily if not once per shift.
