What Equipment Is Needed For Injection Mold Manufacturing?

Injection mold is a tool for producing plastic products, as well as a tool for giving plastic products a complete structure and precise dimensions. What equipment is needed for injection mold manufacturing? The most basic needs: injection molding machine, lathe, milling machine, grinder, drilling machine, spark machine, etc. Below, Shibang Plastics editor will introduce you in detail.

Usually processing equipment includes: machining center (usually used for roughing), fine carving (finishing), electric pulse (also known as electric spark, which needs to be made of electrodes, electrode materials: graphite and copper), wire cutting (divided into slow walking) Wire, medium wire, and ordinary), lathe, milling machine, grinder (surface grinding, internal grinding, external grinding), radial drill, bench drill. If it is more complete, you need: computer gong, punching machine, 3D counter, argon arc welding. Also need some tools such as: caliper, height ruler, depth ruler, workbench, etc.

Injection mold processing is divided into thermosetting plastic molds and thermoplastic plastic molds according to the molding characteristics; according to the molding process, it is divided into transfer molds, blow molds, casting molds, thermoforming molds, hot press molds (compression molds), and injection molds. Among them, hot press molds can be divided into three types: overflow type, semi-overflow type, and non-overflow type. The injection mold can be divided into two types: cold runner mold and hot runner mold based on the pouring system; The method can be divided into two types: mobile type and fixed type.

After the injection mold is completed, it is used for injection molding. Injection molding is a processing method used in mass production of some complex-shaped parts. Specifically, it refers to injecting the material melted by heat into the mold cavity by high pressure, and after cooling and solidifying, the molded product is obtained.
