Disc gate

Software; CAM

A disc gate is a mould gate used in an identification of a moulded part, generally having the same cross-section as the mould runner.

Decompression is the movement of the screw away from the nozzle (without rotation) and is used to prevent drooling. Decompression may be used for low viscosity materials (for example, PA-66), where ...

Delamination

Software; CAM

Delamination is a localised separation of the surface of the part. The most common cause of delamination is excessive injection velocity.

Preferred moulding window

Software; CAM

A preferred moulding window is a refinement of a feasible moulding window. It is represented by a set of boundaries that define a window-like shape. For the process setting ranges inside the ...

Pressure profile

Software; CAM

A pressure profile is a graph made up of set points joined by lines. The set points determine the pressure to be applied at specific time intervals. The pressure profile controls how the part is ...

Process window

Software; CAM

A process window or moulding window, defines the limits of moulding conditions under which an acceptable part can be produced. If moulding conditions fall within this region, then a good part can be ...
