Injection Speed Linearity

This document contains the results of a test to determine the control over injection speed on an injection molding machine. The test involved taking shots at incrementally increasing injection speed settings and recording the actual fill times. As the set speed was doubled from the lowest to highest setting, the actual machine speed and shot fill times were recorded. On average, the actual speeds were 5% lower than the set speeds, within the acceptable range of less than 10% difference. A graph shows the relationship between set and actual velocities.

Purpose: To Determine how much control there


is over injection speed

Procedure:
-Set up machine to run a standard Decoupled II process.
-Turn off pack and hole pressure and time.
-Adjust the transfer position to make the fill only shot 80% full. This will ensure
a short shot when the injection speed is increased.
-Raise the injection timer to the machine maximum
-Set the injection speed at the lowest setting.
-Take a shot and record the fill time
-Double the injection speed setting and take another shot. Record the fill time.
-Double the speed setting again.
-Keep doubling the injection speed until the machine is at its highest setting.
