What are the differences between High Speed Injection Molding Machine and traditional injection molding machine?
Compared with traditional injection molding machine, High Speed Injection Molding Machine has significant differences in many aspects. These differences are mainly reflected in production speed, precision, energy consumption, control system and application areas. The following will discuss in detail the differences between high-speed injection molding machine and traditional injection molding machine.
1. Production speed and efficiency
Injection speed: The injection speed of high-speed injection molding machine is significantly higher than that of traditional injection molding machine. The injection speed of traditional injection molding machine is usually 100-200 mm/s, while high-speed injection molding machine can reach 300-500 mm/s, or even higher. This high speed greatly shortens the injection time and improves production efficiency, especially for small and precision products produced in large quantities.
Molding cycle: Since high-speed injection molding machine has advantages in both injection speed and cooling speed, its molding cycle is shorter. The molding cycle of traditional injection molding machine is generally between 15-30 seconds, while that of high-speed injection molding machine can be shortened to 5-15 seconds. This high efficiency makes high-speed injection molding machines more competitive when they need to respond quickly to market demands.
2. Production precision and quality
Precision control: High-speed injection molding machines are usually equipped with advanced servo electric systems and high-precision control systems, which can accurately control injection speed, pressure and position. This makes the size and quality of the products more stable and reduces the scrap rate and defective rate.
Repeatability: High-speed injection molding machines can maintain highly consistent operating parameters in each production cycle to ensure the consistency of each product. Traditional injection molding machines may lack repeatability and consistency due to their relatively simple control systems.
3. Energy consumption and environmental protection
Energy consumption: High-speed injection molding machines usually use servo motor drive systems, which are more energy-efficient than traditional hydraulic drive systems. Servo motors can adjust power output according to actual needs to reduce unnecessary energy consumption. The hydraulic system of traditional injection molding machines usually needs to work continuously, resulting in high energy consumption.
Environmental performance: The servo system of high-speed injection molding machines is not only energy-saving, but also has lower noise during operation, reducing the impact on the environment. At the same time, modern high-speed injection molding machines mostly adopt environmentally friendly designs, which reduce the use of hydraulic oil and the risk of leakage, and help maintain a clean production environment.
4. Control system and operation
Advanced control system: High-speed injection molding machines are equipped with modern computer control systems, which are highly automated and intelligent. These control systems can monitor and adjust various parameters in the injection molding process in real time to ensure the best production status. The control system of traditional injection molding machines is relatively simple, with limited adjustment and monitoring capabilities.
User interface: The control interface of high-speed injection molding machines is usually more user-friendly, simple and intuitive to operate, reducing the training time and difficulty of operators. The operating interface of traditional injection molding machines may be relatively complex and require more experience and skills.
5. Versatility and application areas
Versatility: High-speed injection molding machines tend to have stronger versatility and can achieve a variety of complex processes such as multi-color injection molding, two-color molding, and insert injection molding to meet different production needs. Traditional injection molding machines may require additional modifications and adjustments in these aspects, and have low flexibility.
Application areas: High-speed injection molding machines are widely used in industries such as electronics, medical, packaging, and automobiles that require mass production of high-quality parts due to their high speed, high precision, and high efficiency. Traditional injection molding machines are more used in the production of general plastic products that do not require high speed and precision.
6. Equipment cost and maintenance
Equipment cost: The initial purchase cost of high-speed injection molding machines is usually higher than that of traditional injection molding machines due to the use of more advanced technology and high-precision components. However, in the long run, its high efficiency and energy-saving characteristics can bring higher economic benefits.
Maintenance and maintenance: The maintenance of high-speed injection molding machines is relatively complicated, but due to their advanced design, they usually have a longer service life and a lower failure rate. The maintenance of traditional injection molding machines is relatively simple, but more daily inspections and maintenance are required to ensure normal operation.
