The injection velocity is the speed at which polymer is injected into the mold cavity during the injection phase. If the injection velocity is too high, it can cause part defects such as flash and ...

injection volume

Software; CAM

The injection volume is the amount of polymer injected into the mold cavity during the velocity phase.

melt temperature

Software; CAM

The melt temperature is the temperature of the polymer as it starts to flow into die.

mold

Software; CAM

The mold is the steel tool used on the injection molding machine. The mold acts as a heat exchanger in which the molten thermoplastic solidifies to the shape defined by the cavity.

mold temperature

Software; CAM

The mold temperature is the temperature of the steel mold.

no-flow temperature

Software; CAM

The no-flow temperature is the temperature at which a polymer ceases to flow inside the mold cavity after injection.

non-return valve

Software; CAM

The non-return valve is located in front of the injection screw on an injection molding machine. It allows material to flow in one direction and closes to prevent back flow.
