This work addresses an analytical model (non-numeric) to calculate cycle time for injection molding pieces, which improves the accuracy regarding conventional models used in industry.

The cycle time required for the manufacture of a plastic part can be subdivided into four main times: injection time of the melt plastic, packing time, cooling time, and mold opening-closing …

This project aimed to reduce a 10% of the high cycle time of the three top offenders of a BMC molding process. For three months, a detailed equipment evaluation was completed to identify …

Note that the injection rate of a molding machine is influenced by injection speed controls, cavity wall thickness and shape, gate cross section surface area, material grade, molding conditions …

Cycle time is an important factor in injection molding. Reducing it boosts productivity, reduces specific energy consumption and improves flexibility, while the overall cost per component drops.

Cycle time of a part in injection molding process is very important as the rate of production and quality of the products manufactured depends on it. Cycle time is the total time from beginning …

Jan 25, 2024 · The biggest challenge of the injection molding industry is reducing cycle times. At the heart of this challenge lies the need to efficiently and safely reduce the cooling time of parts.
