Injection molding short shots

ICI Sandwich 3-stage injection molding short shot of solid polymer is followed by a second shot of foamable polymer and a third shot of solid polymer, forming a solid skin around a foamed interior. [Pg.473]

The purpose of injection molding is to produce polymer end products with high efficiency and to shape the products with complicated forms. Scientific molding is an important initial practice to make proper short shot. To start up with any mold, short shot is to be made for the safety of the machine and mold. Therefore, fimctional areas such as barrel and heating zones are important for their individual functions. [Pg.45]

By contrast with ICM, a compression mold design is used where male plug fits into a female cavity rather than the usual flat surface parting line mold halves for IM (Fig. 8-27). The melt is injected into the cavity as a short shot thereby not filling the cavity. The melt in the cavity is literally stress-free it is literally poured into the cavity. Prior to receiving melt, the mold is slightly opened so that a closed cavity exists the male and female parts... [Pg.472]

Short shot can be avoided by proper mold design and control of polymer melt conditions—namely, temperature and injection pressure. This relationship is shown in Figure 7.76. Within the area bounded by the four curves, the specific polymer is moldable in the specific cavity. If the pressure and/or temperature are too low, short shot will result. If the temperature is too high, thermal degradation of the polymer can occur. If the temperature is too low, the polymer will not be molten. If the pressure is too high or the polymer is too fluid, the melt can flow into the gaps of the mold, creating thin webs of polymer attached to the molded article in an undesirable part... [Pg.778]

In mold cavities with inserts and nonuniform thickness distribution, the flow pattern is more complicated. This problem was investigated by Krueger and Tadmor (6) using a thin, rectangular 1.5 x 6-in cavities like the one shown in Fig. 13.5. Inserts of various shapes and sizes could be placed in different locations in the mold, creating either obstacles to the flow or regions of different thickness. PS was injected, and the position and shape of the advancing front could be traced by a series of short shots, as shown in Fig. 13.8. [Pg.763]

The most characteristic feature of injection molds is geometrical complexity. In such molds there is a need to predict overall flow pattern, which provides information on the sequence in which different portions of the mold fill, as well as on short shots, weld line location, and orientation distribution. The more complex a mold, the greater this need is. The irregular complexity of the geometry, which forms the boundary conditions of the flow problem, leads naturally to FEMs, which are inherently appropriate for handling complex boundary conditions. [Pg.790]

In extrusion, when the hot melt exits from the die, the compressed gas expands and foams the extrudate. In injection molding, the hot melt is injected into the mold, but the quantity is reduced ( short shot ) so that there is not enough melt to fill the mold the compressed gas expands, and the melt foams and fills the mold. Either way, the foamed melt cools and solidifies, producing a product with a solid skin and a somewhat expanded internal foam structure. It looks like a solid product, but it is lighter in weight and offers a number of advantages. [Pg.676]

MPX functionality is arranged into three modules, the first of which is the Setup Xpert, a module that allows users to perform a variety of injection-velocity- and pressure-phase-related setup routines to fix certain defects, such as short shots, flash, burn marks, sink marks, etc. The objective of Setup Xpert is to achieve one good molded part with no defects. The basic process is that a user molds a part, then provides feedback to the MPX system regarding molded part quality. The MPX system then processes this feedback along with data being collected from the machine and (if necessary) determines a process change that will improve the result. [Pg.180]

Using the coinjection procedure, a solid melt is injected to form the solid, smooth skin against the cavity surface. Simultaneously a second short shot melt with blowing agent is injected to form the foamed core. With a full second shot, the mold can incorporate pins or a mold that opens similar to high-pressure foam molding. [Pg.209]

Gas-assisted injection molding is a technique used to hollow out thick sections, such as structural ribs, common in many injection molded parts. In a typical gas-assist application, a short shot of polymer is first injected into the cavity. Then a shot of gas immediately follows the polymer, pushing the melt into the unfilled regions of the... [Pg.500]

Union Carbide Extruder delivers melt + blowing gas into a pressurized accumulator, from which a short shot is injected into a low-pressure mold. [Pg.473]
