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 ...

The runner system consists of three sections, the sprue, runner, and thegate. The primary task of a runner is to deliver and ...

The company has developed integrated hot-runner technology, combining a unitized design with a simple mold-design modification. Injection molders benefit from the integrated approach in several ways: ...

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

Cycle time is the primary cost measure of the molding process, and cooling represents about 80% of the molding cycle (see Figure 1). The thicker the part, the longer the cycle time. However, the ...

The Temp-command and HRD Series of hot-runner controllers check for wiring errors in connecting cables and hot runners and for failures in heaters and sensors The Temp-command and HRD Series of ...
