What do you know about the characteristics of vertical injection molding machines?

A vertical injection molding machine is a mechanical device that typically consists of an injection system, mold closing system, hydraulic transmission system, electrical control system, lubrication system, heating and cooling system, safety monitoring system, etc. The injection system is one of the most important components of vertical injection molding machines, generally consisting of plunger type, screw type, screw pre molded plunger injection type, and other main forms. At present, the most widely used is the screw type, which is used to heat and plasticize a certain amount of plastic within a specified time in a cycle of an injection molding machine. Under a certain pressure and speed, the molten plastic is injected into the mold cavity through the screw.
So, as a commonly used injection molding equipment, what are the characteristics of vertical injection molding machines? The editor of Aoxiang Machinery has summarized the following 10 points to help you better understand and master injection molding machines.
Characteristics of vertical injection molding machines:
1. The injection device and mold locking device are located on the same vertical centerline, and the mold is opened and closed in an upward and downward direction. Its floor area is only about half that of a horizontal machine, so when converted to floor area, its productivity is about twice that.

Its function is to heat and plasticize a certain amount of plastic within a specified time in a cycle of the injection molding machine, and inject the molten plastic into the mold cavity through a screw under a certain pressure and speed.
2. Easy to achieve insert molding. Because the surface of the mold is facing upwards, it is easy to position the insert. By using a machine with a fixed lower template and a movable upper template, the belt conveyor device can be combined with a robotic arm to easily achieve fully automatic insertion molding.

3. The weight of the mold is supported by a horizontal template for up and down opening and closing actions, and there will be no forward tilting caused by the gravity of the mold, similar to a horizontal machine, which makes the template unable to open and close. It is beneficial for maintaining the accuracy of machinery and molds for durability.
4. By using a simple robotic arm, various plastic cavities can be removed, which is conducive to precision forming.
5. The general locking device is surrounded by an open structure, which is easy to configure with various automation devices and is suitable for automatic forming of complex and exquisite products.
6. The belt conveyor device is easy to install through the middle of the mold, making it easy to achieve automatic production during molding.
7. It is easy to ensure the consistency of resin fluidity and mold temperature distribution in the mold.
8. Equipped with rotating countertops, moving countertops, and tilting countertops, it is easy to achieve embedded molding and in mold combination molding.
9. During small-scale trial production, the mold structure is simple, low in cost, and easy to unload.
10. Having withstood multiple earthquakes, vertical machines have better seismic resistance compared to horizontal machines due to their low center of gravity.
