Ensuring a Mold's Thermal Integrity

Overview
With ever-increasing energy and materials costs, manufacturers are more motivated to improve productivity by streamlining processes, dramatically cutting human resources and budgets and optimizing production processes. For example, shops pay more attention to a molds thermal dynamics during design, molding and preventative maintenance (PM) to reduce cycle time, decrease energy consumption, improve plastic part quality and increase yield. Manufacturers have optimized hot runner systems, gating and finite element method (FEM) simulations to control better fill and cycle times. However, what is rarely discussed is cooling. The cooling cycle can be as much as 70% of a part run cycle, so thermal management to reduce overall cycle times is critical for process optimization. Lower cycle times and lower scrap rates equate to higher part production.
