Technology expands capabilities of all-electric injection molding.Technology is available for the high-speed 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. of precision thin-wall or thin-section parts from modern engineered thermoplastics. X-Melt expansion melt technology is being used in full production to mold thin-wall, lightweight parts, with a wall thickness of just 0.011" to 0.019" (0.3 to 0.5 mm) and an injection time of 0.08 seconds. Traditionally, it was thought that a dedicated micro-molding or hydraulic accumulator Hydraulic accumulator A pressure vessel which oper-ates as a fluid source device or shock absorber. It is used to store fluid under pressure or to absorb excessive pressure increases. driven machine was required for this type of molding, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the company. It is now possible with the company's standard E-Motion (all-electric) series and Victory electric (hybrid) series equipped with the X-Melt technology package. If the melt is kept under high pressure, which is suddenly relieved, the material will expand explosively, with no additional thermal stress to the material. With X-Melt, this is achieved by moving the screw forward to a desired axial axial /ax·i·al/ (ak´se-al) of or pertaining to the axis of a structure or part. ax·i·al adj. 1. Relating to or characterized by an axis; axile. 2. position, then locking it in place to allow the pressure to distribute evenly in the melt, in front of the screw. In addition, a shut-off nozzle is required to lock up the barrel and prevent the melt from flowing into the cavity, until the desired compression level has been attained and the nozzle is opened for injection. Alternatively, this shut-off can be integrated into a hot runner A hot runner is an injection mold component containing a series of channels that distributes molten plastic within a mold to increase molding productivity through reduced waste, as the runners arent wasted each cycle by being ejected, as the plasic stays molten and gets used on the system.
