Two common mistakes are easily made when injection molding TPU/TPE: using injection pressures below 1400 kgf/cm² and using standard (non-nitrided) screws and barrels. TPU and TPE offer unparalleled flexibility and durability, but their unique flowability and abrasion resistance require specialized process control to achieve optimal results. Therefore, several key considerations must be taken into account… Continue reading Injection Molding of Flexible Materials: Precautions for TPU/TPE Processes

Mid-sized injection molding plants lose tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars annually due to flash—the thin, excess plastic that seeps through mold crevices. This translates into not only scrapped parts but also rework time to trim parts, premature mold wear, and rejected orders from quality-conscious customers. As a professional injection molding machine manufacturer,… Continue reading How to solve the problem of flash in injection molding?

Injection molding cycle profile optimization, specifically the coordinated control of pressure, holding, and cooling steps, is the most effective tool for production engineers to improve part quality, reduce cycle time, and lower unit cost. Whether you operate a single-unit injection molding line or manage multiple injection molding machines in a single molding facility, optimizing the… Continue reading Injection molding cycle profile optimization: pressure, hold and cooling steps

Achieving consistent injection molding cycle times hinges on translating every variable that influences the cycle—melt quality, cavity filling and packing, thermal conditions, mechanical motion, and material feed—into standardized, measurable, and controllable actions. When you replace manual adjustments and guesswork with closed-loop control, adaptive setpoints, and integrated monitoring, cycle-to-cycle variability decreases and production becomes predictable. Crucially,… Continue reading How to reduce cycle time fluctuations through injection molding control strategies?

Understand the setting method of the injection molding machine Injection molding uses a mold to inject plastic into it, heating and to cool it down. Injection molding machines are used in this process. To set the parameters of an injection molding machine, you need to understand the following: How to set the mold temperature The… Continue reading Understand the setting method of the injection molding machine
