In high-volume injection molding, hot runner systems are the silent workhorses behind every shot. They govern how melt flows, how cavities fill, how much pressure is needed, and, ultimately, part ...

An effective process typically starts by milling or turning mold-forming material, followed by heat treating (in the case of hardened steel), grinding, refined shaping, and finishing treatments like ...

A new, downloadable software program is intended to help users develop the shape of injection molding runners and gates. An improved user interface requires fewer clicks and produces gating designs ...

Westfall Technik’s MHS says its patented pneumatic actuator technology represents a paradigm shift from the standard design’s need for seals and cooling.

Although everyone knows that plastic injection molding can produce mass volumes of parts with precision and low cost, not every manufacturer gets the process right, which could defeat its purpose and ...
