Streak mark - white

Software; CAM

Also known as silver streaks. There are a few different types: *Moisture - Streaking occurs opposite the flow direction, due to a high residual moisture content. Drying the material properly will ...

Insert

Software; CAM

An insert is a component that is placed into the mould before the injection phase and is anchored into the plastic part by being partially or wholly surrounded by the injected plastic. Typical ...

Runner / runner system

Software; CAM

Runners are the channels that feed the polymer from the sprue to the gates of each cavity in the mold. A runner system includes the following: *Runners. *Gates. *Sprue.

Screw displacement

Software; CAM

Screw displacement is the distance the screw has moved during the injection phase.

Screw velocity

Software; CAM

Screw velocity is the speed with which the screw has moved during the injection phase.

Set points are the defining points on the velocity and pressure profiles. For the velocity profile, it is a discrete injection velocity and time/displacement coordinate. For the pressure profile, it ...
