[Case Study Presentation] Plastic Molding Processing: Short Lead Times and High Quality through Flow Analysis!
Over 80 years of experience in plastic molding! Utilizing flow analysis during mold design to achieve high quality, reduce defects, and ensure short delivery times. *Free case studies available!
Are you facing any of the following issues with outsourced plastic product manufacturing? ■ It takes a long time to deliver ■ Defective products are appearing at a certain frequency from the molded items ■ Material loss is occurring due to defective products and scraps If you have such concerns, mold design using flow analysis may provide a solution. Typically, mold designers predict the flow of resin based on their past experiences and design the molds accordingly. However, it is rare for things to go well on the first try based solely on experience and intuition, and several prototypes are often necessary. Kowa Electric Industry has over 80 years of experience in plastic molding for social infrastructure products and has created more than 700 molds using flow analysis. By adopting flow analysis technology, we can reduce the number of prototypes and achieve shorter delivery times. Additionally, by visualizing the flow of resin, we can reduce manufacturing losses while simultaneously improving quality and reducing defective products. If you are struggling with quality, material loss, or delivery times for outsourced plastic products, please feel free to consult with us.
basic information
The introduction of flow analysis in the mold design for injection molding of thermoplastic resins allows for the visualization of resin flow, enabling the prediction of the occurrence of defects such as the following: 1) Weld line formation 2) Void formation 3) Silver streak formation 4) Short shot occurrence 5) Sink mark formation 6) Warpage occurrence By predicting these defects through flow analysis, adjustments can be made to the position and number of gates, as well as the type of gates, and modifications can be made to the mold shape. This ultimately shortens the design period for the mold and eliminates the need for mold modifications or remakes. As a result, it is expected to reduce the lead time for product release and lower design costs. *This page explains the flow analysis adopted in the mold design for injection molding of thermoplastic resins, but our company also engages in a wide range of molding for various types of resins.
