Injection Molding Machine is the main molding equipment that makes thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics into plastic products of various shapes with plastic molding molds. It is divided into vertical type, horizontal type and all electric type. The injection molding machine heats the plastic and applies high pressure to the molten plastic to make it shoot out and fill the mold cavity. The injection device and the mold locking device are on the same vertical centerline, and the mold is opened and closed along the up and down direction. Its floor area is only about half of that of the horizontal machine. Therefore, the productivity converted into floor area is about twice.
Injection Molding Machine adopts the machine type with fixed lower formwork and movable upper formwork. If the belt conveyor is combined with the manipulator, it can easily realize full-automatic insert molding. The weight of the mold is supported by the horizontal formwork to open and close up and down, which will not cause the front fall caused by the gravity of the mold similar to the horizontal machine, so that the formwork cannot be opened and closed. It is conducive to maintaining the accuracy of machinery and die for a long time.

Definition of Injection Molding Machine

An injection molding machine (also spelled as injection moulding machine), also known as an injection press, is a machine for manufacturing plastic products by the injection molding process. It consists of two main parts, an injection unit and a clamping unit. Injection molding machine molds can be fastened in either a horizontal or vertical position. Most machines are horizontally oriented, but vertical machines are used in some niche applications such as insert molding, allowing the machine to take advantage of gravity. Some vertical machines also do not require the mold to be fastened.

Working Principle of Injection Molding Machine

 

Working of injection molding similar to extrusion and it works like an injection as name suggest. Molding material/ raw material pour into the hopper by feeding device. After that molding material goes down under the action of gravity into the cylinder (barrel). A circumferential heater which is located on the barrel is used to melt the material. When powder form of molding material goes dawn into the barrel from hopper it starts melting and a hydraulic ram or rotating screw pushes the material forward into the mold by applying some pressure. Molten plastic material is injected into a closed mold attached on the other side of barrel; in this split mold is used. Molding material goes forward continuously by the rotating screw. Pressure applies by the hydraulic system. Injection pressure is generally 100-150 MPa. After injection; pressure is applied for some time or locked at same position with some force. After the whole process is done the parts manufactured is cooled sufficiently. Then mold is open and some ejectors are used for proper removal of the part without damage. After removing the part mold is closed again. This process is very fast and automatically repeated. Here complex shape parts can be easily manufactured. Production capacity of injection molding is 12-16 thousand parts per cycle.  

Benefits of Injection Molding Machine

Complex Geometries

Injection molding machine allows for large volumes of uniform, complex parts. However, you must pay attention to vent and gate placements, weld lines, corner transitions, wall thickness, rib and boss design, and more to ease ejection and achieve precise parts. With injection molding machine, you can easily achieve repeatable part tolerances of ± 0.500 mm (0.020’’). In some cases, you can even produce parts with tolerances of ± 0.125 mm (0.005’’), giving you parts that are accurate enough for most applications and comparable to 3D-printed or CNC machined parts.

Wide Range of Materials and Colors

Today, there are over 25,000 engineered materials that are compatible with injection molding machine, including thermoplastics, thermosets, resins, and silicones. With all of these options, you’ll be able to find one that offers the right balance of physical, mechanical, and chemical properties. Commonly used materials include acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), and polypropylene (PP). You can also use a mixture of materials to produce a part with the strength, impact resistance, or stiffness you need. For example, you might add glass fibers to your thermoplastic to create a strength-enhancing composite.

High Repeatability and Reliability

One of the main benefits of plastic injection molding machine is its high repeatability. Once you’ve created your mold, you can produce thousands of parts before needing to maintain your tooling. An aluminum mold will generally last between 5,000 and 10,000 cycles, and a full-scale steel production mold can last for over 100,000 cycles. Plus, since injection molding uses the same mold for each part, you’ll have identical products.

Efficient

While it can take several minutes - or even hours - to 3D print or CNC machine a single part, most injection molding cycles only last 10 to 60 seconds. Even if you have a complex geometry that takes around 120 seconds to mold, you can include several smaller parts in one larger mold. This helps maximize efficiency and gets the most out of each mold, allowing you to create hundreds of identical parts an hour at a low cost.

Types of Injection Molding Machine

 

Hydraulic Injection Molding Machine
A hydraulic injection molding machine uses hydraulic pressure to operate the machine. The hydraulic system consists of a hydraulic pump, a motor, a hydraulic cylinder, and valves. The hydraulic pump supplies high-pressure hydraulic oil to the hydraulic cylinder, which then drives the screw to inject molten plastic into the mold cavity. These machines are popular due to their ability to provide high clamping force and the flexibility of the hydraulic system. They are commonly used in industries where the production volume is high, and the cost of production is not a significant concern.

 

Electric Injection Molding Machine
An electric injection molding machine uses an electric motor to operate the machine. These machines are more energy-efficient than hydraulic machines because they don't require the use of hydraulic oil. Instead, they use electric motors to drive the screw, injecting molten plastic into the mold. Electric machines are known for their high precision, repeatability, and speed. They are ideal for producing small to medium-sized parts with high accuracy and consistency.

 

Hybrid Injection Molding Machine
A hybrid injection molding machine combines the advantages of hydraulic and electric machines. They use hydraulic systems for clamping force and electric systems for the injection process. These machines are energy-efficient and provide high precision, speed, and flexibility. They are commonly used in industries where a high level of precision and accuracy is required.

 

Two-Shot Injection Molding Machine
A two-shot injection molding machine is a type of machine that can produce two different types of plastic parts in one cycle. It has two injection units that can inject different types of plastic material into the mold simultaneously. This machine is ideal for producing complex parts with different colors, materials, or textures.

 

Multi-Shot Injection Molding Machine
A multi-shot injection molding machine is a type of machine that can produce multiple parts in one cycle. It has multiple injection units that can inject different types of plastic material into the mold. This machine is ideal for producing complex parts with different colors or materials.

After the part is formed using a specialized injection molding process, it is sintered to remove the binder and fuse the powders. This results in part with high strength and complex geometries. The powder injection molding machine is an excellent option for producing such parts and is widely used in industries such as aerospace and automotive.

Applications of Injection Molding Machine

 

 

Construction

Injection molding various construction and building components is becoming increasingly popular due to the innate versatility of plastic injection molding. Some of the most commonly-produced elements in the construction industry include small and large accessories, fasteners, and various hand tools. 

 

Food Industry

Parts used in the food and beverage field must follow stringent health and safety rules and regulations, such as the GMA-safe program and FDA certification. All this is necessary to ensure the well being of individuals using such products. To abide by the aforementioned standards, molded parts have to be BPA-free and completely non-toxic. 

 

Medical Industry

Similarly to the food and beverage industry, plastic parts made for the medical and pharmaceutical field have to follow even more stringent guidelines. In order to meet those standards, manufacturers must use FDA or medical-grade resins and manufacture their components according to ISO certification. What’s more, components for the medical field require various chemical properties, such as high tensile strength, resistance to very high temperatures, and others. 

 

Decorative and Functional Components

These components have to be both decorative and functional, which means the manufacturer has to achieve the balance between aesthetics, usability, and durability. The components you can create through plastic injection molding are so varied it’s difficult to name the most common ones. Some of the frequently used parts are product stops, hooks for pegboards, shelf dividers, but also many more. 

 

Automotive Components

Due to its innate design flexibility, but also high durability and longevity, plastic injection molded parts are very frequently used in the automotive industry. This process makes it easy to design and create various items you find in and on your car every day, such as mirror housings, cup holders, bumpers, but also entire dashboards. 

Components of Injection Molding Machine

We slide it into a few main parts of the injection machine for easier understanding: the clamping unit, injection unit, electronic unit, hydraulic system, and projection guard parts. These parts are named by their functions on a plastic injection molding machine. 

Clamping Unit

The clamping unit’s function is to hold the plastic mold and offer the clamping force for mold holding pressure when the molten plastic is injected into the mold.

Injection Unit

The injection unit’s function is to melt the granule plastic mixed with colorant and inject it into the plastic injection molding mold. The electronic unit is the control system of the injection plastic machine, you can think of it as the brain of the machine and offer the interface to humans.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system turns the power from the electric motor to the mechanism moving, it`s the power supply chain on a plastic molding machine.

Protection Guard

The protection guard is used to protect the machine from damage and keep humans safe from the machine movement and accidents.

Maintenance Tips For Injection Molding Machine

When you start your inspections, you need to know what you’re looking for so you can identify the issues. It’s not possible to list every issue that could occur, but you can keep an eye out for the common signs of issues and quickly resolve them as a part of your preventative maintenance.

Movement Wear

Any moving parts may break down frequently, as movement causes a lot of stress and wear on the device. It’s a good idea to check all the moving parts for any wear and damage. Pay particular attention to the joints and any part that comes into contact with another object or part, as those will suffer more wear.

 

Ejector Pins

When it comes to injection molding, the ejector pins are extremely important. They remove the product from the mold once it’s done solidifying into the correct shape. However, this can cause a lot of wear on the pins as they slide and push against the various parts of the machine. So, focusing your attention on the pins can make it easy to identify wear and damage.

 

Temperature Stress

Another common cause of damage in these larger machines is deformity and humidity from changes in temperature. Injection molding takes a lot of heat to melt and shape the plastic, which affects the nearby internal structures of the devices over time. Check your machines for any water damage, and keep an eye on the areas that withstand extreme temperatures, as they are more susceptible to damage.

 

The Mold

A common place for temperature damage to build up is the mold of the machine as it holds the hot plastic. Your inspections should regularly check the mold for any condensation, as well as the nearby parts for any signs of deformity caused due to temperature fluctuations.

 

Material Buildup

When the plastic flows through your device and into the mold, it can leave behind trace amounts of material sticking to the internal systems of the machine. This won’t cause much of an issue at first, but it can clog up your system or cause product deformity as the buildup blocks the flow of materials. This is a huge problem, but the fix is simple, as you just need to clean out all the molding and tubes of your machine.

 

Runners and Mold Cavities

Focus on the runners of your machine when checking for buildup, as they’ll slowly clog up as the plastic catches to the walls of the machine. You should also check your molds and clean them carefully, as plastic can easily get stuck in the cavities and cause deformities in all the products that come from that machine.

Ultimate FAQ Guide to Injection Molding Machine
 

Q: How to choose an injection molding machine?

A: Special attention should be paid to the selection of the type and size of an injection molding machine. Larger products require a larger machine, and usually require more professional attention for proper operation. Special attention must also be paid to the injection requirements such as mold opening stroke, mold clamping force, injection volume, screw compression ratio, injection speed, finished product appearance, performance, etc. The range of products desired will determine the type of injection machine needed.

Q: How big are plastic injection molding machines?

A: The size of plastic injection molding machines varies depending on the size of the parts you produce. Small tabletop machines can produce parts that weigh only a few grams, while large machines can produce parts that weigh several kilograms. The machines can range in size from about 1 ton to more than 1000 tons. The size of the machine required for a particular application depends on the size and complexity of the part, as well as the required production volume. Larger machines are generally more expensive to purchase and operate than smaller machines.

Q: How much does a plastic injection molding machine cost?

A: How much a plastic injection molding machine costs can vary widely depending on the size, features, and manufacturer of the machine. The smallest machines can cost a few thousand dollars, while larger machines can run for hundreds of thousands of dollars or more. In addition to the initial cost of the machine, there are also ongoing costs associated with operating the machine, such as electricity, maintenance, and materials. However, the investment in a high-quality machine can pay off in the form of increased production efficiency and reduced waste. It all varies based on what the needs and scale of an injection molding operation are.

Q: Why is important to maintain injection molding machines?

A: Maintenance is a necessity when it comes to any machine or device, but this is especially true for production machines. Maintenance is all about keeping these devices in working order, which has many benefits for the manufacturer and the companies behind the products.
Lower Costs: You should perform maintenance on your machines because it lowers the costs of production. Without proper maintenance, these injection molding machines will slowly lose efficiency as they break down. This costs you money and increases the cost per unit for every part you make from that inefficient machine.
Consistent Production: A common problem for injection molding is inconsistent production, which can occur if you don’t perform proper cleaning. Unclean machines will lead to mistakes in production and waste a lot of parts and materials over time. This costs money and resources as you need to produce more than necessary to make up for all the mistakes.
Reduced Downtime: Another major benefit of proper maintenance of your machines is less downtime for your production. When a machine breaks down and stops working, you need to stop production to replace or repair the device. This can cause days of lost production time as you wait for replacement parts, when you could have prevented the delay by performing proper maintenance in the first place.

Q: How is the mold clamped in an injection molding machine?

A: There are 2 types of clamping methods, namely the toggle type shown in the figure below and the straight-hydraulic type in which a mold is directly opened and closed with a hydraulic cylinder. The functions of the injection unit are to melt plastic by heat and then to inject molten plastic into a mold.

Q: Can injection molding machines produce multi-material or multi-color products?

A: Yes, machines are equipped for multi-shot or multi-material molding to create complex products with multiple components or colors. It allows for the production of complex, multi-colored products. The process involves adding another set of plastic pellets to add another color that would be integrated into the same plastic mold. Some of these multi-color plastic injection molding machines can handle at least 2 colors at the same time, with the option to add more colors if needed.

Q: What is the role of the hydraulic system in an injection molding machine?

A: The hydraulic system provides the power for mold clamping, injection, and ejection processes. The role of hydraulic valve system is to realize the injection molding machine according to the requirements of the process of various actions to provide power, and to meet the pressure, speed, temperature and other requirements of each part of the injection molding machine.

Q: What is the importance of temperature control in injection molding?

A: Precise temperature control is crucial for melting the plastic and maintaining consistent product quality. Excessive or inadequate temperature can bring about several flaws in the finished plastic component. It can even severely damage the injection-mold machine itself.

Q: Can injection molding machines handle high-volume production?

A: Yes, injection molding is known for its efficiency in high-volume production due to rapid cycle times. The right injection molding operation will offer several enabling technologies that make it possible to handle high-volume production runs with a favorable onshore cost equation. Injection moulding is a mass production process capable of creating multiple quantities of solid plastic parts repeatedly at fast cycle times. Consequently, it is very suited for high volume manufacturing.

Q: What is the role of the injection unit in the machine?

A: The injection unit is responsible for melting and injecting the plastic into the mold cavity. The injection unit serves two functions: it is required to feed, prepare, and dose material consistently and accurately and also to then inject the set volume of material at high pressure into the mold tool.

Q: Are there considerations for designing molds for injection molding?

A: Mold design considerations include material flow, cooling channels, and part ejection methods. Designing injection molded parts requires consideration of numerous variables that can significantly impact the functionality and quality of the final product. Common issues that may arise during the injection molding process include sink marks, flow lines, warping, and more. Therefore, having a thorough understanding of the injection molding design is essential to achieving outstanding results.

Q: Can recycled plastics be used in injection molding?

A: Yes, many injection molding processes support the use of recycled plastics, contributing to sustainability. Especially for injection molding production recycled plastic is just as durable as new plastic. This makes it a suitable choice for a wide range of applications, not only be used in injection molding but also in blow molding, and extrusion.

Q: What are the major factors affecting an injection moulding process?

A: Process parameters are crucial for the successful injection molding process. These include injection speed, melt temperature, injection pressure, cooling time, and packing pressure - each having an effect on product quality; finding the ideal combination is key to getting optimal results.

Q: How are quality and consistency maintained in injection molding?

A: Quality is maintained through careful control of process parameters, regular maintenance, and inspection of molded parts. The design and maintenance of molds play a pivotal role in the quality control process. A well-designed mold should account for factors such as material flow, cooling, and part ejection. Routine maintenance, cleaning, and inspection of molds are essential to prevent defects and ensure consistent product quality.

Q: Can injection molding machines produce large and complex parts?

A: Yes, larger machines with higher tonnage capacities can produce large and complex parts. Injection molding allows for large volumes of uniform, complex parts. However, you must pay attention to vent and gate placements, weld lines, corner transitions, wall thickness, rib and boss design, and more to ease ejection and achieve precise parts.

Q: What safety measures should be followed when operating injection molding machines?

A: Safety measures include proper training, use of personal protective equipment, and adherence to machine-specific safety protocols. Locate and ensure you are familiar with all machine operations and controls. Ensure all guards are fitted, secure and functional. Do not operate if guards are missing or faulty. Check workspace and walkways to ensure no slip/trip hazards are present.

Q: How is the cooling process managed in injection molding?

A: Cooling is managed through strategically placed cooling channels in the mold, ensuring uniform temperature distribution. Straight-line cooling is the traditional, or standard method for cooling injection molds. Cooling lines or channels are machined in straight lines into metal molds. Side channels, or branches, intersect with main channels and increase the surface area that coolant can reach.

Q: What is the role of mold release agents in injection molding?

A: Mold release agents facilitate easy removal of molded parts from the mold, preventing sticking. Mold release agents work by creating a barrier between the substrate and the surface of the mold. This barrier eliminates adhesion between the two materials, preventing mold damage and ensuring quick and easy release from the mold. The coating is applied to the surface of the mold before the substrate is cast.

Q: What types of products can be produced with injection molding machines?

A: Injection molding is versatile and used for a wide range of products, including packaging, automotive parts, toys, and consumer goods. Custom plastic enclosures used in devices such as remote controls, computers, televisions, medical devices, and other consumer electronic components are produced through the injection molding manufacturing process.

Q: What materials are commonly used in injection molding?

A: Acrylic (PMMA)
Acrylic is a strong, clear thermoplastic that provides a lightweight, shatter-resistant alternative to glass. This injection-molded material also offers excellent optical clarity so that a high percentage of light passes through. Acrylic resists ultraviolet (UV) light and weather, and is also known as PMMA, or by its full chemical name: poly(methyl methacrylate). Unlike some plastics, acrylic can withstand exposure to water and hold tight tolerances. PMMA won't absorb odors, but it cannot resist solvents and is easily stained by greases and oils. Although injection-molded acrylic has high tensile strength, it's prone to stress cracking under heavy loads.
Applications for acrylic injection molding include windows, greenhouses, solar panels, bathroom enclosures, and other transparent components for architectural, lighting, and outdoor applications. 
 
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)
ABS has a relatively low melting point that makes it easy to mold. This opaque polymer supports the use of colorants as well as various textures and surface finishes. Its butadiene content delivers exceptional toughness, even at low temperatures, and its styrene content imparts a shiny, attractive finish to plastic injection molded parts. ABS is known for its strength and impact resistance, but it lacks strong resistance to sunlight (UV), water, and weather. Compared to acrylic, injection-molded ABS is not a good choice for outdoor applications. ABS also generates significant smoke when burned and, unlike nylon, provides poor resistance to high friction.
Applications
ABS injection molding is used to produce many types of plastic parts, including:
keyboard keys
protective headgear
electrical outlet wall plates
automotive parts like wheel covers
consumer goods
sports equipment
industrial fittings
 
Nylon Polyamide (PA)
Nylon is a synthetic polyamide (PA) that combines toughness and high heat resistance with high abrasion resistance, good fatigue resistance, and noise-dampening properties. Nylon isn't inherently flame-resistant, but flame-retardant versions are available. Similarly, although nylon can be degraded by sunlight, a UV stabilizer can be added to improve outdoor performance. Compared to other plastics, nylon provides poor resistance to strong acids and bases. Nylon is not as strong as polypropylene and can't match polycarbonate for impact resistance. Injection molding nylon is challenging because it's prone to shrinkage and is subject to inadequate mold filling.
Applications
Applications for nylon injection molding include: 
strong mechanical parts such as bearings, bushings, gears, and slides
casings and snap-fit closures
threaded inserts and kinetic parts
jigs and fixtures
 
Polycarbonate (PC)
Polycarbonate is strong, lightweight, and naturally transparent. This plastic injection molding material has excellent optical properties to support light transmission, but maintains its color and retains its strength when pigmented. Although it isn't scratch-resistant, polycarbonate is significantly stronger than glass and is extremely durable. Injection-molded polycarbonate is sometimes used instead of acrylic because PC maintains its physical properties over a wider temperature range. PC requires high processing temperatures, however, which can make it more expensive to mold. With its predictable and uniform shrinkage, however, polycarbonate offers precise dimensional control for tighter tolerances.
Applications
Applications for polycarbonate injection molding include:
machinery guards
clear and tinted windows
diffusers and light pipes for light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
clear molds for urethane and silicone casting
 
Polyethylene (PE)
Polyethylene is the most commonly used plastic in the world and is a commercial polymer that can be selected according to its density. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) both provide chemical resistance, but they differ in terms of their hardness, flexibility, melting point, and optical transparency. PE plastics include polyethylene terephthalate (PET, PETE), a material that is not defined by its density. Like LDPE, PET can be as clear as glass; however, designers can also select grades of PET or PETE with different levels of optical clarity. HDPE, LDPE, and PET all resist moisture and chemicals, but LDPE is softer and more flexible than HDPE, which is an opaque material.  
Applications
Applications for polyethylene injection molding may be limited to indoor applications because of their poor UV resistance. Because they are unable to withstand high service temperatures, these plastic materials may not be suitable for some processing applications. Often, injection molded polyethylene is used in products such as housewares, toys, food containers, and automotive parts.
 

Q: How does the injection molding machine work?

A: Injection molding machines are used to produce plastic parts by injecting molten plastic material into a mold cavity under high pressure. Here's a brief overview of how an injection molding machine works:
The material is fed into the machine: The plastic material is loaded into the hopper of the injection molding machine, which then feeds the material into the barrel.
The material is heated: The plastic material is heated in the barrel of the machine using heating elements. The heat causes the material to melt and become a molten liquid.
The injection unit: The molten plastic material is then injected into the mold cavity using an injection unit, which consists of a screw that moves back and forth in the barrel, pushing the molten plastic material forward.
Mold clamping: Once the material has been injected into the mold, the mold is clamped shut by the machine's clamping unit. This keeps the mold closed and the material in place as it cools and solidifies.
Cooling and ejection: The molten plastic material cools and solidifies in the mold cavity. Once it has solidified, the mold is opened, and the finished part is ejected from the mold using ejection pins or other mechanisms.
Repeat: The injection molding process can be repeated to produce more parts. The machine can be programmed to adjust the injection speed, pressure, and temperature, as well as other factors, to produce parts with different shapes, sizes, and characteristics.
Injection molding machines can be designed to produce a wide variety of plastic parts, ranging from small, intricate parts to large, complex parts. The process is used in many industries, including automotive, medical, and consumer goods.

Q: What are the functions of injection units in an injection molding machine?

A: The injecting unit of a plastic injection molding machine is a unit where an injection plunger or a screw moves forward inside a cylinder to inject molten plastic into the mold. Ordinarily, the size of an injection molding machine is expressed in terms of the clamping force. The functions of the injection unit are to melt plastic by heat and then to inject molten plastic into a mold. The screw is rotated to melt plastic introduced from the hopper and to accumulate molten plastic in front of the screw ( to be called metering).
