[0] Injection molding. (Equipment).

The LSR 2010 injection molding machine is designed specifically for molding micro to medium sized liquid silicone rubber parts. The vertical injection press fits the needs of many contract molders that rely on quick mold changeover, utilize standard mold sizes and depend on a flexible shot size range, according to the company. The press is said to be ideal for single or multiple cavities, insert and over molding applications, offers dependable shot size repeatability and accuracy, as well as virtually flash-free molding when using precision molds, according to the manufacturer. The patented plunger type injection technology was originally developed for IOL (intraoccular lens) manufacturing and utilizes no barrel screw. The efficient LSR 2010 press accommodates molds up to 8" x 8", features standard platen mounting hole patterns and adjustable daylight in 1" increments to save mold processing time, according to the company. Automatic door opening is said to provide easy part removal, diminishing cycle time. Material is fed from cooled, pre-filled disposable cartridges or in-line mix metering equipment.
