Used to hold and maintain the mold's shape during the injection process. It consists of platens, jaws, and a hydraulic system.
Used to hold and maintain the mold's shape during the injection process. It consists of platens, jaws, and a hydraulic system.
Stage that consists of closing the clamp quickly and safely until the mold faces touch and the tonnage/clamping force is applied.
Pressure applied to keep the mold closed during the injection of plastic material. It must be adequate to avoid defects such as flash or deformations.
Stage consisting of opening the clamp to allow the ejection of parts from the mold. It comprises the stages of Open Decompression, Slow Open, Fast Open, and Full Clamp Open.
In hydraulic machines, it is the force generated by fluids under pressure, used to actuate the main movements and systems of the machine.
Complex industrial equipment used to manufacture products by injecting molten material into molds, comprising an injection unit and a clamping system.
