Machine and process troubleshooting are the most important factors in controlling process and reducing defects. Poorly performing presses lead to process variance and uncontrollable scrap events, and ...

In the injection molding of plastics, in-mold sensors, as part of a variety of process control packages, have been around for decades. But comparatively recently, similar technology has begun to make ...

The Speed Flow Core Mat is constructed using a draining non-woven synthetic core, featuring two sides or one side of chopped glass fibres mechanically stitched or non-stitched ways to bind all layers ...

AZoM talks to DeWayne Howell and Jason Gabriel (Technical Engineering TenCate/CCS Composites), about the process of compression molding for composites and what the benefits and applications of this ...

Plastics processing is a complex system of dialing in and maintaining quality parts as efficiently as possible. Companies with solid process setups start presses quickly, producing no more than three ...

The hybrid-composite rear load floor uses unidirectional (UD) thermoplastic tapes plus direct-long-fiber thermoplastic (D-LFT) composites. Thermoplastic tapes provided high stiffness/strength in a ...

Transfer molding can accommodate short runs, which makes it well suited for medical devices. Transfer molding is widely used in overmolding silicone products, especially the handles of medical devices ...

This article examines the various uses of presses in research and manufacturing, while exploring some of the different industries in which they are used. Omnipresent in both industry manufacturing and ...
