Injektionssprutmaskiner
Injektionssprutmaskiner, often referred to as injection molding machines, are industrial equipment used in the mass production of molded plastic parts. The process begins with plastic granules being fed into a heated barrel where they melt. A screw mechanism then transports the molten plastic forward under high pressure and injects it into a precisely shaped mold cavity. Once inside the mold, the plastic cools and solidifies, taking on the form of the cavity. The mold then opens, and the solidified part is ejected. These machines are characterized by their clamping force, which holds the mold halves together during injection, and their injection capacity, which refers to the maximum volume of material they can inject. Injection molding is a versatile process capable of producing a wide range of shapes and sizes, from small precision components to large structural parts. The machines are highly automated and play a crucial role in industries such as automotive, electronics, packaging, and medical devices. Factors influencing the choice of an injection molding machine include the size and complexity of the part, the type of plastic material used, and the required production volume.
