Scientific Cooling – it’s not Rocket Science
Cooling time in injection molding can represent as much as 80% of a cycle, yet it’s often an afterthought!
Typically in the plastics industry the technical focus is on mold design, Injection Molding Machine specifications and material preparation. Only rarely is the focus on the regulation, monitoring and cooling time in injection molding. By having a strong understanding of scientific cooling, designers, mold builders, tooling engineers, and mold technicians can reach new levels of efficiency in mold cooling management.
Through optimized cooling there is great potential to reduce cycle times, improve part quality consistency and overall production efficiencies.
At Turner Group, we turn to Smartflow‘s design and modeling tools to help customers build an optimal system, including scientific cooling.
