(6). The product structure is unreasonable (the reinforcement is too high, too thick, and the thickness is obviously not good enough)

one).

(7). The cooling effect is not good, and the product continues to shrink after demoulding.

3. Remedy

(1). Adjust the temperature of the injection cylinder.

(2). Adjust the screw speed to obtain the correct screw surface speed.

(3). Increase the injection volume.

(8). Properly reduce the screw speed and increase the back pressure, or reduce the injection speed.

Injection molded parts bend

1. Characteristics of defects in injection molded parts

The injection molded part shape is similar to the cavity but is a distorted version of the cavity shape.
