CAM

clamp force

Software; CAM

Clamp force is the force required to hold the mold closed while an opposing pressure is exerted by the plastic injected into the cavity.

closed loop controller

Software; CAM

A closed loop controller is one that responds to feedback from transducers that measure the value being controlled. For example, cavity pressure can be controlled by placing a transducer in the ...

closed volume

Software; CAM

A closed volume is a group of surfaces connected together to form a polyhedron. A closed volume has no free edges. The structure is used to form inserts and the mold boundary. See also Free Edges.

compensating phase

Software; CAM

The period during the injection molding process when plastic is injected to compensate for the plastic in the cavity shrinking as it cools.

A group of curves that are joined end to end to form a single curve. Composite curves are discontinuous if the start point of one curve is not the same as the end point of the previous curve. IGES ...

control limits

Software; CAM

Control limits are statistically determined values between which a control variable is allowed to range without adjusting the process. Control limits provide an indication of the variation in the ...

compressibility model

Software; CAM

Heated plastics are compressible. The compressibility of a material affects the volume of plastic required to produce a finished part. A compressibility model describes the relationships between ...
