Injection mold delivery systems

The CueMate, which is a wishboned-shaped delivery system comprising a polyester spine that gives form to the device onto which progesterone impregnated silicone pods can be attached. These pods are manufactured by injection molding at high temperatures. 

The PCL Intravaginal Insert, which is a T-shaped delivery system comprising a single-mold polycaprolactone polymeric insert impregnated with progesterone that is manufactured by injection molding at very low molding temperatures (around 80 C). 

The operation of the injection and clamp units and other components of the injection molding machine (opening and closing of the mold and melting and injection of the polymer material) requires power, which is supplied by an electric motor. The orderly delivery of this power depends on auxiliary systems the hydraulic and control systems. The hydraulic system, the muscle for most maehines, transmits and controls the power from the electric motor to the various parts of the maehine. Maehine functions are regulated by a careful control of the flow, direction, and pressure of the hydraulic fluid. The elements of the hydraulic system for most injection molding machines are essentially the same fluid reservoir, pumps, valves, cylinders, hydraulic motors, and lines (Figure 11.8).
