Start of fill

Software; CAM

The start of fill is the time at which melted polymer starts to flow. This happens after the screw has started to move and corresponds to the start of the pressure rise in the nozzle.

Stroke

Software; CAM

The stroke is the distance between the screw back position and the screw forward position of an injection moulding screw. This provides a measure of the amount of polymer injected during a cycle.

The thermal conductivity of a material is the rate of heat transfer by conduction per unit length per degrees Celsius. It is expressed in units of W/m.°C. It is essentially a measure of the rate at ...

Filling time

Software; CAM

The time required for the injection moulding machine to fill the part.

Transition temperature

Software; CAM

The transition temperature is the polymer freeze temperature. At this temperature, the melt-to-solid transition occurs. The transition temperature corresponds to the glass-transition temperature (Tg) ...

Velocity profile

Software; CAM

The velocity profile is a graph made up of set points joined by lines. The set points determine the velocity to be used at specific displacement measurements. The velocity profile controls how the ...
