What are the applications of pressure sensor in mold design?

Pressure sensor plays a vital role in mold design, and its application is extensive and in-depth. The following are some main applications of pressure sensors in mold design:

Real-time monitoring and adjustment:

The pressure sensor can measure the pressure change of plastic during injection molding, mold filling, pressure maintaining and cooling. These data can be recorded in real time and used to adjust the molding pressure to ensure the stability of the production process and the consistency of product quality.

By monitoring the pressure data, possible faults or abnormal situations in the production process can be found in time, such as insufficient filling and incorrect key dimensions, so as to quickly locate the problems and take measures to eliminate them.

Optimize the production process: The data provided by the pressure sensor can be used to analyze and optimize the production process. For example, by adjusting the parameters of injection molding machine (such as injection speed, holding time, etc.), the molding quality of products can be improved and the occurrence of defects can be reduced. Using the data collected by the pressure sensor, the mold manufacturer can improve the mold design and processing technology in the mold trial stage, which is helpful to reduce the number of mold trials, shorten the product development cycle and reduce the production cost.

Improve production efficiency: The use of pressure sensor enables mold manufacturers to know the state of plastic in the mold more accurately, so as to design a mold that is more in line with the actual production needs, which is helpful to improve the design accuracy and reliability of the mold and reduce the need for subsequent modification and adjustment. With the use of digital sensors, sensors can be installed in each bottle cavity, and the connection from the mold county to the injection molding machine only needs a wind wire. In this way, as long as the sensors are installed at the bottom of the mold cavity, there is no need for any other process control interface, so as to prevent the occurrence of insufficient injection, thus improving production efficiency.

Enhance the ability of mold design;

The application of pressure sensor enables mold manufacturers to design more accurate and reliable molds according to actual production requirements. The improvement of this ability not only improves the production efficiency of molds, but also enhances the market competitiveness of mold manufacturers. Through the data collected by pressure sensors, mold manufacturers can provide customers with more comprehensive solutions, including the mold itself and the process parameters suitable for this mold. Compared with simply providing molds, this comprehensive solution has significantly improved its intrinsic value. Promote technological innovation:

With the continuous development and application of pressure sensor technology, the plastic manufacturing industry is also constantly attracting! Introduce new technologies and processes. For example, the use of digital sensors makes it possible to install sensors in each mold cavity and connect them with the injection molding machine through network wires to realize more efficient production process control.

Therefore, it can be said that the application of pressure sensor in mold design has many functions and advantages. It can not only help enterprises improve production efficiency and product quality, but also promote technological innovation and industrial upgrading.
