CAM

The racetrack effect occurs when molten plastic flows into thicker regions more easily than thin regions. The flow divides and then fills thicker sections before combining again to fill the thinner ...

screw back position

Software; CAM

The screw back position is the position that the screw is brought back to before the start of the next cycle.

screw forward position

Software; CAM

The screw forward position is the furthest forward position of the screw during a cycle.

screw

Software; CAM

The screw is the part of the injection molding machine that pushes the polymer into the mold, that is, the shaft that rotates within the barrel of the injection molding machine to process and prepare ...

shear strain

Software; CAM

The shear strain of the polymer is the ratio of the deformed state compared to the original state, when a polymer has been deformed due to an applied load.

shot size

Software; CAM

The shot size is the distance between the screw back position and the zero screw position of an injection molding screw. This is a measure of the polymer available for injection for each part. Shot ...

specific heat

Software; CAM

The specific heat (Cp) of a material is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of material by one degree Centigrade. It is essentially a measure of a material's ability ...
