Pressure gradient
Software; CAM
The pressure gradient in the molten polymer is the pressure drop per unit of length along the flow path. The pressure drop from one location to another is the force that pushes the molten polymer to ...
Pressure stroke
Software; CAM
The pressure stroke is the proportion of the total stroke performed under pressure control. This is the distance between the velocity to pressure change-over position and the screw forward position ...
Pressurisation phase
Software; CAM
The pressurisation phase is the period during the injection moulding process when extra plastic is injected to ensure all corners and edges of the mould cavity are full of plastic.
Racetrack effect
Software; CAM
The racetrack effect occurs when molten plastic flows into thicker regions more easily than thin regions. The flow divides and then fills thicker sections before combining again to fill the thinner ...
Velocity stroke
Software; CAM
The velocity stroke is the distance between the screw back position and the velocity to pressure change-over position in an injection moulding machine. This is the proportion of the total stroke ...
Viscosity model
Software; CAM
The viscosity of polymers is dependent on temperature, pressure and shear rate. The relationship of the variables can be described by one of several equations, called models. For this product you can ...
