Injection moulding machines

Injection moulding machines are machines that inject polymer material into a mould. The category covers complete injection moulding machines and machine-centred systems. Moulds and standalone spare injection units are not in this category. How to read the specifications in this category: Clamping force is an advertised maximum or rating of the clamping unit, not a hydraulic pressure. Screw diameter, shot volume and shot mass belong to the particular installed injection configuration. Shot volume keeps its stated theoretical or displacement basis, and shot mass is comparable only with its stated polymer or test material. Injection pressure is the maximum specific injection pressure of the material for that configuration; a hydraulic pressure is never recorded as injection pressure. Tie bar clearance is the clear horizontal or vertical spacing, not the platen size, and may not apply to a machine without tie bars. Drive type is the declared machine-level type: hydraulic, electric or hybrid. A model page shows only the values that a documented source states.
