Cycle Time Reduction in Injection Moulding Through Simulation Study of Conformal Cooling Channels

Plastic injection molding is very used in today’s manufacturing industry. In injection molding process, the cooling channel performance is one of the most vital factors because it has significant effect on both production rate and the quality of the plastic part. In order to reduce the cycle time and control the uniform distribution of temperature, it is necessary to create conformal cooling channels which conform to the shape of the mold cavity and core. Cycle time of a part in injection molding process is very important as the rate of production and quality of the products manufactured depends on it. Cycle time is the total time from beginning to the end of the process. Cycle time includes process time. This can be achieved through various techniques like external cooling, improve capacity of cooling tower, Install Flow Meters, Proper design of the cooling channel, Optimization Of Injection Molding Machine Parameters like Cooling Time, Back Pressure And Plasticizing Limit, Optimum Height for Counter Flow Cooling Tower.
