In-mold rheological control gives processors control of melt flow.


Traditional injection molding injection molding
n.
A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold.
 know-how is said to limit processors to one-dimensional linear control of the melt after the polymer leaves the injection nozzle An orifice in an inkjet print head through which ink is sprayed onto the paper. Print heads with six thousand or more nozzles are common in today's printers.

Understanding that there are non-uniform three-dimensional viscosity changes that occur to the melt as it flows through the mold mold, name for certain multicellular organisms of the various classes of the kingdom Fungi, characteristically having bodies composed of a cottony mycelium. The colors of molds are caused by the spores, which are borne on the mycelium. , the company introduced the iMARC in-mold adjustable theological control systems technologies to enable processors to better control and take advantage of rheological rhe·ol·o·gy

 changes, all without ever having to take the mold out of the press.

This advancement in melt management is based around the firm's MeltFlipper and Max technologies. The theological control system is offered to customers in a variety of standard insert sizes and melt-management designs. Custom designs are also offered.

The basic premise of iMARC single axis or multi-axis molding technologies is to allow processors not only to dynamically optimize mold balance from cavity cavity /cav·i·ty/ (kav´i-te)

 to cavity, but also to dynamically change and control the actual filling pattern within a given cavity, all without changing gate locations, part geometries, process conditions or having to take the mold out of the press. Like standard MeltFlipper technology, these latest advancements are applicable in all cavity ranges and all molding materials, including single cavity molds.
