Process parameters

Software; CAM

Process parameters are variables that typically correspond to moulding machine settings. Commonly used process parameters include: *Maximum injection pressure. *Screw cushion. * Pressure ...

Processing conditions are the variables that control the moulding process. These include: *The injection velocity. *The pressure applied to the melt. *The mould and melt temperatures. The material ...

Purging

Software; CAM

Purging is the cleaning of one colour or type of material from the injection moulding machine. This can be done by forcing the material out with a new color, a new material, or with another purging ...

Velocity routines

Software; CAM

Routines are complete processes within Setup Xpert that optimise one aspect of a profile. There are six velocity routines that are used to optimise the velocity phase of the cycle, including the ...

Isotropic material

Software; CAM

An isotropic material has material properties that are the same in all directions. There are no directional effects of orientation or crystallinity.

Open loop controller

Software; CAM

An open loop controller does not respond to measurements of the value being controlled. See closed loop controller.

Orthotropic material

Software; CAM

An orthotropic material consists of either oriented fibres or oriented polymer chains. Mechanical properties in the direction parallel to the orientation are different from those in the perpendicular ...
