A New Look at Evaluating Fill Times For Injection Molding

One of the important process parameters to establish and record for any injection molded part is its injection or fill time. Research research reveals the limitations of popularly taught methods of establishing this critical parameter.

High-Flow PEEK Makes Small, Intricate Pipette Tips

WEB EXCLUSIVE: An unfilled grade of Victrex 90 Series high-flow PEEK from Victrex USA was used to mold small medical pipette tips.

TOOLING AT NPE: Hot Runners & Coinjection Grab Spotlight

Tooling innovations at NPE focused primarily on multi-cavity closure and medical applications, though there was also a substantial emphasis on large automotive and appliance parts.

Brand-New Test Method Relates Material, Mold & Machine

It's the first material characterization method developed specifically for evaluating the injection moldability of a plastic melt.

New Way to Characterize Moldability Of Resins & Part/Tool Designs

Experienced injection molders have long known that a resin’s melt flow index (MFI), measured under very low-shear conditions, provides very little information about how it will process under many orders of magnitude higher shear in an actual mold.

Balanced Filling Is Critical for Holding Molding Tolerances

Processors face a multitude of challenges whenever they approach an injection molding machine.

Unbalanced? No Shortage of Ways to Fix Uneven Filling of Multi-Cavity Molds

The accepted ground rule for balancing melt flow in multi-cavity injection molds is to achieve equal flow distance from the injection point to each cavity.

Get Control Of Flow in the Mold

A novel technology allows injection molders to alter the flow pattern inside the cavity and balance the filling of multiple cavities by means of an external mold adjustment while the tool remains in the press. In this exclusive article, the system's inventor explains how it works.

What to Do When the Mold Just Won't Fill Right

What should have been a routine injection molding job was plagued with problems right from the start.
