Researchers in Germany have developed a process monitoring and control system for injection molding cells that automatically detects deviations in product quality, identifies the most likely cause, ...

Smart manufacturing uses AI and real-time data to boost injection molding quality, cut costs and predict equipment issues.

Injection moulding is a widely adopted manufacturing technology for mass-producing plastic components with intricate geometries and tight tolerances. The process comprises sequential phases: melting ...

Injection molding is a critical manufacturing process, and has been so for a long time. It still has room to improve in several areas however, and “smart” injection molding equipment is gaining ...

Automation is one facet of injection molding where investment continues. "The industry is seeing a downward trend for new molding machines, but robots and automation remain strong as processors still ...

In injection molding, the component weight reflects the process consistency and the component quality. Components are therefore often weighed manually after production or automatically placed on a ...

ProMed, a contract manufacturer specializing in liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and highly regulated combination products, has announced new process refinements in the LSR injection molding process ...

In composites, heat transfer follows resin injection and this heat transfer is very sensitive to processing conditions. High-quality heat flux sensors permit detection of the resin flow front and ...
