2 Injection molding machineFrom Plastics Wiki, free encyclopediaInjection molding machines consist of two basic parts, aninjection unitand aclamping unit.Injection molding machines differ in both injection unit and clamping unit. The name of the injection molding machine is generally based on the type of injection unit used.Types of injection molding machinesMachines are classified primarily by the type of driving systems they use: hydraulic, electric, or hybrid.HydraulicHydraulic presses have historically been the only option available to molders until NisseiPlastic Industrial Co., LTDintroduced the first all-electric injection molding machine in 1983.The electric press, also known as Electric Machine Technology (EMT), reduces operation costs by cutting energy consumption and also addresses some of the environmental concerns surrounding the hydraulic press.ElectricElectric presses have been shown to be quieter, faster, and have a higher accuracy, however the machines are more expensive.HybridHybrid injection molding machines take advantage of the best features of both hydraulic and electric systems. Hydraulic machines are the predominant type in most of the world, with the exception of Japan.Injection unitThe injection unit melts the polymer resin and injects the polymer melt into the mold. The unit may be: ram fed or screw fed.The ram fed injection molding machine uses a hydraulically operated plunger to push the plastic through a heated region. The high viscosity melt is then spread into a thin layer by a torpedo to allow for better contact with the heated surfaces. The melt converges at a nozzle and is injected into the mold.Reciprocating screw A combination melting, softening, andinjection unitin aninjectionmolding machine. Another term for theinjection screw. Reciprocating screws are capable ofturning as they move back and forth.The reciprocating screw is used to compress, melt, and convey the material. The reciprocating screw consists of three zones (illustra
