Molding machines are used to give a definite shape to the compounds.
These machines impart various thermoplastic resins, thermoset polymers
or metal injection molding (MIM) compounds into finished shapes. Current
day molding machines are controlled by computer systems that act upon
information that is provided by the sensors. After receiving the
information, the automated system controls each action of the molding
machine and ensures consistency in the output and quality of the end
product. This reduction of the manual interference increases the chances
of accuracy and also enhances the speed of entire process.
Depending on the input material, molding machines can be :
- Plastic injection molding machines
- Metal injection molding machines
Plastic molding machines are used to manufacture different plastic
parts of any product, parts using the blow molding process. Depending on
the requirement of the end product, different molding processes can be
used. During plastic molding process, force is applied to the plastic
material during and after it enters the mold. The product is released
from the mold, as soon as it hardens.
There are three basic types of plastic molding processes:
- Injection blow molding
- Extrusion blow molding
- Injection blow molding
Plastic molding is widely used for many applications, such as:
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Engineering Prototypes
- Hydraulics and Pneumatics Packaging
- Architecture Appliances
- Fiber Optics
- Medical and Dental
- Power Tools
- Agriculture
- Electronics
- Geophysics
- Measuring Instruments
- Telecommunication
