Effects of Metering Configuration of Injection Molding Screws on Pressure-Developing Capability

Abstract:

In this paper, IMP software was used to simulate different injection molding screws. And by the comparison between the experiment results and the simulation results, the software was verified accurate and reliable, then we can use the software to simulate the plasticizing process of some screws which are different in metering depth or metering pitch. By analyzing the pressure curve along the screws, the relationship between the metering depth and the pressure-developing capability, and the relationship between the metering pitch and the pressure-developing capability were obtained. The results showed that the smaller depth or pitch, the stronger pressure-developing capability.
