About this Item

Neuware -The first book to shed light on the critical role the melt delivery system plays in successful injection molding has received a major update in its 3rd edition. This successful book will give you an immediate leg up by reducing mold commissioning times, increasing productivity, improving customer satisfaction, and achieving quality goals such as Six Sigma.How do you determine the optimum design of your runners and gates; what type of runner system (hot or cold variations) do you use for a specific application; how do you identify molding problems generated by the gate and runner vs. those stemming from other molding issues; what should you consider when selecting a gating location The Runner and Gate Design Handbook will give you the means to get to the bottom of these issues as well as provide specific guidelines for process optimization and troubleshooting.Highlights among the numerous new updates include coverage and analyses of critical shear induced melt variations that are developed in the runners of all injection molds, expanded content on hot runners, and a new subchapter on injection molding process development.

About this title

Synopsis

For the first time, both the art and the science of designing runners and gates are presented in a concise format. Tried and true runner and gating design techniques successfully used with various materials and molding applications are described together with cutting edge new technologies. The book will help readers determine when to use what type of runner system and how to isolate molding problems generated by the gate and runner vs. other molding issues. Much emphasis is placed on the critical features in a hot runner design and how to determine what type of design is best for a specific application. Finally, readers will be able to separate the sales hype from reality when dealing with hot runner suppliers.
