1. Injection Molding 1.1 Injection machine The injection machine is a machine that melt plasticize the molding material inside the heating cylinder and inject this into the mold tool to create the molded product by solidifying inside it. The injection machine is constructed of a mold clamping device that opens and closes the mold tool, and device that plasticize and inject the molding material. There are several types in the injection machine, and the difference is made by how these two devices are arranged. （1） Horizontal injection machine ： Both mold clamping device and injection device compounded horizontally （2） Vertical injection machine ： Both mold clamping device and injection device compounded vertically （3） Two-color injection machine （4） Rotary injection machine （5） Low foam injection machine （6） Multi material injection machine （7） Sandwich injection machine 1.2 Selection of injection machine 1.2.1 Select by injection volume As a guide, generally the injection machine should be selected so that molded product volume will become 30% to 80% of the machines injection volume. When molding, the relation of the machines injection volume Q(g) and one shot weight (sprue and runner weight included) W(g) should be in the range indicated below. Q ＝ （1.3～1.5）×W If the injection volume is too small, plasticization will not make it, and might lose its original physicality as a molded product because the resin will be sent without enough plasticization. On the other hand, if the injection volume is too big, residence time inside the cylinder will be longer and cause degradation by more chance. 1.2.2 Sel
