How to Achieve Uniform Parts Cooling and Cut Cycle Times

摘要

For too long, cooling parts in the injection-molding process has been a less than satisfactory process because of the occasionally high number of deficient parts that must be discarded. The problem is the significant amount of cooling time required for temperature reduction. An article by Muhammad Khan in ISRN Mechanical Engineering warns that "decreasing cooling time can result in excessive shrinkage and (warped) parts...so there is a need of a cooling technique to reduce the cooling time without compromising parts quality." Efforts at reduction have not always met with success, resulting in a considerable and frankly unacceptable cost impact.
