Zero-molding: Easy Control for Fewer Defects and Lower Energy Use -- Watch the Video

Issue: Conventionally, in order to completely fill cavities, the screw was pressed forward and filling done at high injection pressure, but high filling pressures made it easier for flash to form and threw off cavity balance, which tended to cause short shots.
The defects that resulted from these issues wasted both power and materials.

• Benefit 1: Smooth filling prevents flashes and short shots, and widens the range of molding process window that produces good products.
• Benefit 2: Eliminates the production ofaadefective products and reducesaathe amount of wasted resin.
• Benefit 3: Power consumption can be reduced thanks to the reduction of injection motor torque.

Issue: One thing that users can do to prevent flashes and other defects is to set a high mold clamping force. However, too much force inhibits the escape of gas, which leads to short shots and burning. It can also stress molds, which can impact mass-production in various ways. Also, it increases power consumption, which is not economically helpful.

• Benefit 1: Since molds can smoothly release trapped gases, short shots and burning are prevented, and less mold deposits seen.
• Benefit 2: Low mold clamping force prevents deformation of mold, breakage of pins or galling of mold parts, and other damage to molds.
• Benefit 3: Power consumption is reduced by reducing the injection motor torque.

Issue:Molding requires a wide range of knowledge and skill. Molding machine features must be set and used properly. Incorrect settings or operation can cause problems in mass-production that decrease work efficiency and cost users time, material and power. Moreover, complicated operations can only be performed by apt operator.

• Benefit 1: The easy-to-understand displays prevent operational mistakes and enable anyone to master even high-performance features.
• Benefit 2: An assistance feature designed to help users make the best settings promotes work efficiency while also reducing work time, resin waste and power consumption, which contributes to lower production costs.
• Benefit 3: Utilization of the power-saving support features promote the reduction of power consumption.
