A few tips to help you understand electric injection molding machines

According to the driving theory of the injection molding machine, the control system of the injection molding machine is composed of various circuits for processing power and controller to complete the movement and process actions
The electric injection molding machine uses a servo motor to perform injection, plasticization, mold clamping, ejection, Therefore, it has high controllability and response characteristics

☆Features of electric injection molding machine:
-Since each action (injection, plasticization, melting, clamping and ejection) has independent servo motor drive, the electric injection molding machine consumes less energy than the hydraulically driven injection molding machine;
-The use of cooling water to control the oil temperature is reduced because no hydraulic oil is used;
-An oil-free environment is possible (no oil pollution);
-Because there is no vibration problem in the hydraulic circuit of the traditional hydraulic system, low noise levels are possible during operation;
-By using a high-precision servo motor, complete closed-loop control that reduces position and velocity fluctuations is easy to perform.
However, compared with hydraulically driven injection molding machines, the disadvantages of electric injection molding machines are as follows:

If the electric injection molding machine is close to full load operation, such as high injection pressure or high holding pressure, the servo motor often interrupts the forming operation due to overload. (that is, limiting the power of large electric injection molding machines)

The action of the electric injection molding machine is controlled by the servo motor, so it is different from the hydraulic injection molding machine when setting the process. The operation principle of the electric injection molding machine is described below.

It consists of 5 actions, each of which is as follows:
The rotary motion of the servo motor is converted into a linear motion by the ball screw and the synchronous tooth belt to complete the injection, holding pressure and back pressure. The movable plate connected to the ball screw moves forward.
The forward movement of the plate integrated with the ball screw pushes the screw forward.

According to the value set by the molding, the injection speed is controlled by controlling the rotation speed of the servo motor, and the injection pressure is detected by the load cell located between the moving plate and the ball screw nut, and the detected signal is directly fed back to the pressure control.
In the plasticizing stage, the rotational motion of the servo motor is used for the rotation of the screw through the timing belt.
During the rotation of the screw, the back pressure formed by the molten plastic accumulated in the head of the screw pushes the screw to move backward, and the back pressure is adjusted by adjusting the load of the servo motor.
The more important part of the injection unit is: the nozzle contact
device of the electric injection molding machine
In order to prevent the nozzle and mold from coming off due to high polymer pressure and the plastic melt from leaking between the mold and the nozzle, a high nozzle contact force is necessary. (You can observe the operation diagram of the motor injection unit).The steps are as follows:
For the electric injection molding machine, the geared motor is used as the driving source, and the rotational motion generated by the geared motor is linearly moved by the synchronous toothed belt and the ball screw to realize the forward and backward movement of the injection unit.
When the nozzle contacts the mold mounted on the fixed stencil, the injection unit cannot move forward.
The spring is compressed to provide braking, and when the spring is compressed to the set value provided by the brake, the contact force requirement of the nozzle is reached.
The rotary motion of the mold-cut servo motor is converted into a linear motion by the timing belt and the ball screw, and the toggle device is the same as the toggle device of the hydraulic mold clamping device. Opening and closing of the mold by a ball screw in the middle of the toggle system
The ejector device is used to separate the product and the mold when the mold is opened after the injection, pressure keeping and cooling are completed, and the rotary motion generated by the ejector servo motor is converted into a linear movement by the ball screw, and the ball screw is connected. The ejector rod connected to the ejector plate ejects the product from the moving plate.

How to select to phone case that is fit for you

We don’t pay the insurance for our phone, but we will add some extra protection for it ， a phone case is one of the protection for your phone .So what case should we select for our smartphone ? When it comes to buying the case for our phone, we have met some problems more or less, such as “It scratches very easy” "The buttons are way to stiff when using this cases" "The color is   beautiful and it’s easy to pop on but the material is NOT durable.” Actually, most of these problems are related to the material that the phone case is made from, every material has its own advantage and disadvantage,after we know the performance of the material, we can choose a better case that is fit for you. Silicone phone case: Silicone phone case is a typical application of silicone protective cover. It’s softness is   between 35-80A Shore hardness and a slightly slippery feel . It has been popular in the market for many years. Silicone rubber, commonly known as silica gel, is a h...

Why will TWS become the mainstream of headphones?

What are TWS Bluetooth headsets? Why is TWS headsets a lifestyle in addition to wearable? From a macro perspective, wireless and multi-device collaboration is the mega trend. On the micro level, the arrival of Bluetooth 5.0 has enabled TWS headsets to be upgraded with the underlying technology; global smartphones have gradually eliminated the headphone jack, which has accelerated the development of TWS headsets. The emergence of TWS headphones can be said to be a necessity. TWS headsets are not accepted by consumers and the market from the beginning. There are many problems such as battery life, transmission, sound quality, and price, which have not been completely resolved so far. As more and more consumers begin to pay attention to TWS headsets, demands such as voice assistants, health monitoring, and noise reduction modes also begin to emerge. TWS will become the mainstream of mobile phones in the future.Why? 1, AirPods have sparked the TWS craze, As we known, the Air...

Let's stop plastic waste at its sources

  Around the world, one million plastic drinking bottles are purchased every minute, while up to 5 trillion single-use plastic bags are used worldwide every year. In total, half of all plastic produced is designed to be used only once — and then thrown away.While plastic has many valuable uses, we have become addicted to single-use or disposable plastic — with severe environmental consequences.  We have seen a lot of positive action to reduce the plastic waste such as: garbage sorting,limit the use of disposable plastic products and the developing and manufacturing of the recycling. But we need to do more, we need to stop the plastic pollution at its sources   100% Biodegradable material was tested is 100% compostable and  can be completely degraded into  carbon dioxide and Oxygen in the Under natural composting and home composting conditions . As a kind of natural degradable material, biodegradable material plays a unique role in environmental protection. Its r...
