- CushionProcess
Result of the maximum position the screw reaches during the packing stage without reaching zero. It is a remaining volume of material that ensures the correct filling of the cavity.
- Cushion PositionProcess
Position displayed by the injection machine on the screen. It serves to monitor and verify its consistency, indicator of failure in the molding process.
- Fill First StageProcess
Stage where most of the plastic material is attempted to be introduced into the mold, trying to fill between 95 and 98% of the total cavity volume.
- Fill Second StageProcess
Consists of completing the filling of the remaining percentage from the first fill stage, replacing speed-based filling with pressure and time.
- RecoveryProcess
Stage of the molding process where the screw operates through rotational speed and back pressure to achieve the desired shot size and homogenization of the molten plastic.
