Gate location and cooling system optimization

Abstract

Abstract-There are higher and higher quality and productivity requirements on plastic products. There increased requirements are mainly in automotive industry. This research paper deals with construction solution of an injection mold for specific product in automotive industry. It examines 4 designed gate position and material with different content of a filler and shape of the filler and its influence on deformation. Differences in deformations between individual versions are rather significant. There are also different layouts of drilled cooling channels and their influence on deformation compared. Analysis results shows that it influence mainly manufacturing production and also deformation. Eligible usage of these parameters can improve quality - lower product deformation.
