Injectionmoldingmachinesconsistoftwobasicparts,aninjectionunitandaclampingunit.Injectionmoldingmachinesdifferinbothinjectionunitandclampingunit.Thenameoftheinjectionmoldingmachineisgenerallybasedonthetypeofinjectionunitused.
2.1Typesofinjectionmoldingmachines
Machinesareclassifiedprimarilybythetypeofdrivingsystemstheyuse:
hydraulic,electric,orhybrid.
2.1.1Hydraulic
HydraulicpresseshavehistoricallybeentheonlyoptionavailabletomoldersuntilNisseiPlasticIndustrialCo.,LTDintroducedthefirstall-electricinjectionmoldingmachinein1983.Theelectricpress,alsoknownasElectricMachineTechnology(EMT),reducesoperationcostsbycuttingenergyconsumptionandalsoaddressessomeoftheenvironmentalconcernssurroundingthehydraulicpress.
2.1.2Electric
Electricpresseshavebeenshowntobequieter,faster,andhaveahigheraccuracy,howeverthemachinesaremoreexpensive.
