How to Install an Injection Mold
Wanna install your injection mold correctly? (Below some of the paragraphs are extracted from www.ehow.com) Injection molding is used in automotive, aerospace, ship-making and even jewelry fabrication. The process involves an injection machine that clamps down a mold. It then heats the mold and the material to be cast. The material is then injected into the mold under high pressure. If the mold is installed incorrectly the final product can be ruined. Often it will not inject all the way, leaving a shortened product or it will inject too much, and plastic can shoot out of the mold . Instructions 1. Check to make sure the mold is clean and free of chips after it has been machined. 2. Open any safety guards on the injection molding machine and put the mold into the injection molding machine . The injection nozzle on the machine must be aligned with the mold cavity.
