Practical Injection Molding / Edition 1

by Bernie A. Olmsted, Martin Davis

Overview

This work focuses on the factors critical to successful injection moulding, including knowledge of plastic materials and how they melt, the importance of mould design, the role of the screw, and the correct use of the controls of an injection moulding machine. It seeks to provide operating personnel with a clear understanding of the basics of injection moulding, resulting in more efficient processing, reduced cycle times, and better part quality with fewer rejects.

From the Publisher

Consultants Olmsted and Davis provide mechanics, operators, and set-up personnel with the basics of injection molding to help them control product quality and improve operating performance. Their practical manual, rather than technical reference, includes case studies to demonstrate the principles and techniques they describe. Among the topics are plastics, loaders and dryers, the clamp unit, robotics and granulators, mold, control, an overview of the cycle, ten keys to successful molding, thermoset molding, safety, and recognizing molding problems. The glossary does not indicate pronunciation. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
