CAM

Screw forward position

Software; CAM

The screw forward position is the furthest forward position of the screw during a cycle.

Screw

Software; CAM

The screw is the part of the injection moulding machine that pushes the polymer into the mold, that is, the shaft that rotates within the barrel of the injection moulding machine to process and ...

Shear strain

Software; CAM

The shear strain of the polymer is the ratio of the deformed state compared to the original state, when a polymer has been deformed due to an applied load.

The shot size is the distance between the screw back position and the zero screw position of an injection moulding screw. This is a measure of the polymer available for injection for each part. Shot ...

Specific heat

Software; CAM

The specific heat (Cp) of a material is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of material by one degree Centigrade. It is essentially a measure of a material's ability ...

Automation

Software; CAM

Automation is the science of machinery or mechanisms which are so self-controlled and automatic that manual input is not required during operation. Automation is the technique of making a process ...

Back pressure

Software; CAM

Back pressure is pressure that opposes the screw as it returns. The purpose of increasing back pressure is to make it harder for the screw to return. This increases the shear heating and the mixing ...
