Injection molding is a stage in production that allows for the creation of the huge number of plastic products we encounter on a daily basis — from toys to food containers to automobile parts. This process involves taking plastic and melting it until it is soft and liquid. Next, this heated plastic is poured into a mold, which is a kind of container or shape. Once the mold has cooled, the solid plastic piece is removed.
Vertical injection hybrid machines are true hybrids — they combine hydraulic power with electric power. Hydraulics help to keep the mold tightly seated and inject the melted plastic into the mold. Electric power governs the way that plastic is injected and the movements of the machine itself. This combination enables more accurate and high-quality products that we produce.
As a result, employees can mold the items they create using high speed vertical injection molding machine machines, to not just make an item, but to also supply a particular requirement. Synchro does this with better precision than what can be achieved with traditional machines, which means the end product is most often higher quality.
You see, one of the best benefits of vertical injection hybrid tech is that it can shorten that process significantly. Cycle time refers to the time it takes to complete one full cycle of an injection mold. In traditional horizontal machines, the cycle time is usually between 30 and 60 seconds. However, thanks to new vertical injection hybrid technology, this time is reduced to just 10 seconds at some intervals! It allows companies to manufacture items better and in far less time, which is useful for businesses, wising to grow and excel.
A second major advantage of this technology is that it allows for the creation of larger, more complex products. It is possible because machines can use different molds and inject different materials at different times in the mold process. This versatility enables designers to explore and create new and exciting shapes and specifications in ways that were not feasible previously. It gives designers an entirely new creative playground.
Vertical injection hybrid technology also enables more precise and efficient production as well. That allows the molds to vary the speed and pressure when inserting the plastic. This capability results in more consistent quality of the items produced, which can minimize any materials wasted in the process.
Also, the technology is more energy efficient because it uses electrical power — That translates to reduced power consumption overall, and may reduce running costs for manufacturers. Electric boost is also much more controllable than hydraulic power, meaning that even less energy is wasted.
