Ensuring Quality and Acceptability Throughout the Injection Molding Process

The quality of plastic parts manufactured using plastic injection molding depends on many influencing factors. From the injection mold itself to the various process parameters to the type of plastic used, many things can go wrong during a high-volume, mass-production process.

With an increasing focus on quality standards and time to market, manufacturers have concerns about repetitive platen deflection. These deflections can happen during high-pressure buildup and transmit into molds, weakening the mold structure and affecting parts quality.

Minimizing mold deflection is essential for plastic manufacturers when producing high-quality parts that must meet tight tolerances, especially complex parts and products used in critical applications. Verifying dimensions on parts to track mold deflection can determine when to swap out molds that have reached the end of their lifecycle, optimizing your injection molding processes.

“Conventional evaluation methods are often adequate for baseline and acceptance inspections. However, there are increasing demands for more accurate characterization of the size and shape of defects that may require advanced techniques and procedures and may involve the use of several methods,” says D.V. Rosato and Marlene G. Rosato in the Injection Molding Handbook.
