Quality control is an essential aspect of the production process, especially when it involves parts used in automotive and medical technology applications. The entire quality control process must be ...

The economical and ecological manufacturing of components using injection molding requires a high level of process reliability. This requires precise recording and monitoring of relevant parameters ...

Additive manufacturing (AM), also referred to as 3D printing, moved beyond its initial use in industry solely for prototype development years ago. It’s no longer uncommon for manufacturers to produce ...

In injection molding, the component weight reflects the process consistency and the component quality. Components are therefore often weighed manually after production or automatically placed on a ...

Figure 1. Pressurized nitrogen gas is injected into a melt to penetrate the part via a network of thicker cross-sectioned gas channels (click to enlarge). Gas-assist injection molding was developed ...

Unstable and uncontrolled processes account for most financial drains in the injection molding process. Between 60 and 70% of all molding errors can be traced back to the tempering of the injection ...
