  • Patent number: 7323125
    Abstract: A method for analyzing injection molding conditions, which takes into consideration the compressibility of molten resin in a barrel and mechanical delays in resin flow caused by constituent elements of an injection molding machine and analysis results thereof are provided. In a method for analyzing injection molding conditions in which, by using input data having shape data (31) and injection conditions data (37) to perform flow analysis of the process of filling the inside of the mold with molten resin, analysis of the pressure maintenance process from the filling with molten resin to the gate sealing, and analysis of the cooling process within the mold after gate sealing, the pressure and temperature distributions of resin within the mold are calculated, data (43) regarding compressibility of molten resin held in the barrel of the cylinder and mechanical data caused by constituent elements of the injection molding machine are added to the input data.

  • Patent number: 5004352
    Abstract: A plasticizing screw for an injection molding machine or the like having one or more lands in a crest portion of a screw flight to prevent the screw flight from coming into contact with a cylinder wall surface when the plasticizing screw is rotated during a molding operation. The land has a smaller diameter than that of a crest portion of the screw flight and is provided at the screw flight crest portion either between leading and trailing surfaces of the screw flight or extending from the leading edge of the screw flight. The land can also be provided as a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart lands on the side of a front surface of the screw flight, or provided at a central portion between the leading and trailing surfaces of the screw flight.
