Injection molding machine: The Ultimate FAQ Guide
If you want to buy injection molding machines to grow your business, then this guide is for you.
It covers everything you need to know about injection molding machines, from working principles, classifications, machine qualifications, advantages, etc.
You will learn everything you need to know in this guide – let’s get started:
Table of Contents
1. What is an injection molding machine？
Injection molding machine is also called injection molding machine or injection machine.
It is the main molding equipment for making thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics into various shapes of plastic products using plastic molding dies.
Injection molding machines are divided into vertical injection molding machines, horizontal injection molding machines, and all-electric injection molding machines.
The injection molding machine can heat the plastic and apply high pressure to the molten plastic to make it shoot out and fill the mold cavity.
2. What are the structural components of the injection molding machine？
The injection system is one of the most important components of the injection molding machine. Generally, there are three main types: plunger type, screw type, and screw pre-plasticized plunger injection type.
The most widely used is the screw injection system. Its function is that in a cycle of the plastic injection machine, a certain amount of plastic can be heated and plasticized within a specified time, and the molten plastic can be injected into the mold cavity through a screw under a certain pressure and speed. After the injection, the molten material injected into the mold cavity is kept in shape.
Composition of the injection system: The injection system consists of a plasticizing device and a power transmission device.
• Clamping system
The role of the clamping system: the role of the clamping system is to ensure that the mold is closed, opened and ejected products.
At the same time, after the mold is closed, sufficient clamping force is supplied to the mold to resist the cavity pressure generated by the molten plastic entering the mold cavity, and prevent the mold from opening seams, resulting in unfavorable status of the product.
The mold clamping system is mainly composed of a mold clamping device, a machine twisting, a mold adjusting mechanism, an ejection mechanism, a front and rear fixed template, a movable template, a mold clamping cylinder and a safety protection mechanism.
• Hydraulic system
The function of the hydraulic transmission system is to realize the injection molding machine to provide power according to the various actions required by the process, and to meet the requirements of the pressure, speed, temperature, etc. required by each part of the injection molding machine.
It is mainly composed of various hydraulic components and hydraulic auxiliary components, among which the oil pump and the motor are the power source of the injection molding machine.
Various valves control the oil pressure and flow rate to meet the requirements of the injection molding process.
• Electrical control system
The electrical control system and the hydraulic system are reasonably coordinated to realize the process requirements (pressure, temperature, speed, time) and various program actions of the injection machine.
It is mainly composed of electrical appliances, electronic components, meters, heaters, sensors, etc. There are generally four control modes, manual, semi-automatic, fully automatic, and adjustment.
• Heating/cooling system
The heating system of the injection molding machine is used to heat the barrel and the injection nozzle. The barrel of the injection molding machine generally uses an electric heating ring as a heating device, which is installed on the outside of the barrel and is detected in sections by a thermocouple.
The heat of the injection molding machine provides a heat source for the plasticization of the material through the heat conduction of the barrel wall; the cooling system is mainly used to cool the oil temperature. Excessive oil temperature will cause a variety of faults, so the oil temperature must be controlled.
The other location that needs to be cooled is near the feeding port of the feed pipe to prevent the raw material from melting at the feeding port, causing the raw material to fail to be fed normally.
• Lubrication system
The lubrication system provides lubrication for the entire power system of the injection molding machine. The parts of the injection molding machine are constantly moving during the working process and need the support of the lubrication system.
• Safety monitoring system
The safety device of the injection molding machine is mainly used to protect the safety of people and the injection molding machine.
It is mainly composed of safety door, safety baffle, hydraulic valve, limit switch, photoelectric detection element, etc., to achieve electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic interlocking protection.
The monitoring system mainly monitors the oil temperature, material temperature, system overload, and process and equipment failures of the injection molding machine, and indicates or alarms when abnormal conditions are found.
3. How does the injection molding machine work?
To start injection molding, you need to have a mold first. Injection molds are usually made of metal and are precisely processed to match the characteristics of the products they are going to produce.
Once the mould has been created by the mould-maker, the material for the part is fed into a heated barrel and mixed using a helical shaped screw. Heating bands melt the material in the barrel and the molten metal or molten plastic material is then fed into the mould cavity where it cools and hardens, matching the shape of the mould.
The cooling time can be reduced through the use of cooling lines that circulate water or oil from an external temperature controller. Mould tools are mounted on plate moulds (or ‘platens’), which open once the material has solidified so that ejector pins can eject the part from the mould.
Separate materials can be combined in one part in a type of injection moulding called a two-shot mould. This technique can be used to add a soft touch to plastic products, add colours to a part or produce items with different performance characteristics.
Moulds can be made of single or multiple cavities. Multiple cavity moulds can have identical parts in each cavity or can be unique to create parts of different geometries.
Aluminium moulds are not best suited to high volume production or parts with narrow dimensional tolerances since they have inferior mechanical properties and can be prone to wear, deformation and damage due to the injection and clamping forces. While steel moulds are more durable they are also more expensive than aluminium moulds.
4. What can an injection molding machine make?
5. What are the materials used in injection molding？
- Acrylic (PMMA)
- Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
- Nylon Polyamide (PA)
- Polycarbonate (PC)
- Polyethyelene (PE)
- Polyoxymethylene (POM)
- Polypropylene (PP)
- Polystyrene (PS)
- Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
- Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
6. What is a hydraulic injection molding machine？
7. What is an electric injection molding machine？
electric injection molding machine are powered by digitally controlled high-speed servo motors rather than hydraulics, allowing for a faster, repeatable, more precise, and energy-efficient operation.
Electric machine operation is highly predictable, so once a desirable injection process has been reached, it can be replicated very consistently, resulting in higher quality parts. Once a job has been programmed into an electric machine, its digital controls allow it to run virtually unattended , which lowers labor costs and boosts profits.
8. What are the benefits of hydraulic injection molding machines?
Hydraulic injection molding machine is the preferred option for actuating core pulls, ejectors, and valve gates, as well as thick-walled parts that require long hold times. Some of its benefits over all-electric machines include:
- Greater clamp force for large parts
- Better injection rates
- High resistance to wear and tear
- Larger shot size
- Better ejection capability
- Available with gas accumulators to make up for slower clamp movements
- Lower initial purchase price
- Low cost and high availability of replacement parts, resulting in lower maintenance costs
- Easier to control for high-level projects
- There are many units available on the used market because of this method’s popularity
9. What are the benefits of electric injection molding machines?
Since it poses no risk of oil contamination, electric injection molding machine is well-suited for cleanroom applications. Because of its high precision, this process is also ideal for small- to medium-sized parts and medical products such as Petri dishes and syringes. Other advantages include:
Tight precision and repeatability with reduced scrap rates
- Cleaner process that never leaks fluid
- Lower downtime commonly associated with hydraulics
- Energy savings from 30% to 70%
- Quieter operation; reduced motor noise below 70 dB
- Higher rapid injection speeds up to 800 mm/sec and faster clamp motion
- Shorter startup time and up to 20% faster cycle times
- Lower unit cost with less material waste
- Requires no consumables such as oil that would need to be replaced or cleaned
- Lower power requirements result in significantly lower operating cost
10. What are the disadvantages of hydraulic injection molding machines?
hydraulic injection molding machines because they’re so powerful, hydraulic injection molding machines consume large amounts of energy even when idle. While a typical electric machine may consume about 2.55 kWh during an injection molding process, hydraulic machines may consume 5.12 kWh. They require higher temperatures for molding and more time for cooling, and they’re not ideal for clean rooms because of the risk of fluid leakage.
hydraulic injection molding machines are also noisier and less precise than all-electric presses. However, as clamp forces increase and control systems improve, hydraulic machines’ precision performance also improves.
11. What are the disadvantages of electric injection molding machines?
electric injection molding machine although electric machines are faster, cleaner, and more energy efficient, they are unable to achieve the clamp forces produced by hydraulic injection molding machines and also come with a higher initial cost. They are toggle-clamp machines that are driven by ball-screws, both of which are wear items, and can be expensive to replace or difficult to find on the used market. And, despite lending great precision, the high positioning accuracy of electric machines can make them less forgiving when compared to hydraulic presses.
