Reciprocating Screw Machine
For a reciprocating screw machine the process cycle can be split into five stages:
1. In stage one, as shown in Figure 1.6, material is injected into the tool.
2. In stage 2 (Figure 1.7), the screw begins to...

Breaking Down the Injection Moulding Cycle
A single injection moulding cycle can be broken down into three distinct stages: plastication, mould filling and cooling with solidification.
1.3.3.1 Plastication
This stage is carried out in the injection...
