Read MoreShoot a few shots and grind a little more until you get the biggest part to fill and pack using fairly normal heats, speeds, and mold temperatures. I like to run acrylic at 425F, with the mold at 90F, injection pressure at 800 psi, hold pressure at half that, and injection speed at medium or medium fast.
Read MoreThe same injection speed profile used to mold the parts should also be used when taking the short shots. The tool is shorted by turning off pack and hold and adjusting the transfer position to a value where the fastest-filling cavity is approximately 90% full.
Read MoreThe Priamus Fill system is designed for automatic closed-loop control of multi-cavity and family molds, multi-material injection, sequential valve-gated molds, as well as LSR molds. The Fill system analyzes the filling of each cavity by sensing the melt presence at the end of flow with a cavity temperature sensor and compares the fill-time ...

Read MoreYes cold runners should be vented. Air, water vapor, off-gases, or volatiles from the polymer can build pressure in cavities and restrict filling. I demonstrate this at every one of my seminars. When troubleshooting venting issues for fill balance, one trick is to make short shots at 90+% full and 65-80% full to see if the balance changes.

Read MoreThe Injection Units settings let you specify the polymer as well as fill settings such as injection pressure, mold temperature and fill time, if known. In the absence of user-specified parameters here, Plastics will use data from the material specifications for mold temperature as well as automatically calculated values for fill time.
Read MoreShort shots in injection molding typically appear in the last place in the injection mold that you expect the plastic to fill. Usually that is in the cavity furthest from the sprue (in an unbalanced runner system). The molder expects any short shot will occur at that location because it represent the longest flow length for any of the cavities.

The low viscosity melt permits the material to flow through small gates and into thin wall sections under low injection pressure. Low-viscosity melt combined with low injection pressure minimizes the possibility of producing highly stressed parts. This is significant because ...

When molten resin splits at an intersection—as in the case of the transition from the point of injection to the primary flow channel of a hot runner manifold—the annular ring of shear-thinned material does not remain symmetrical, but will be found more prevalent on the top side of the flow diameter on each side of the intersection (see Figure 2).
