How to Calculate Clamping Force for Injection Molding
Clamping Force Calculation for Injection Molding Clamping force in injection molding refers to the pressure needed to hold the mold closed during the manufacturing process. Molten plastic is injected into a metal mold under pressure. The pressure is required to make sure the molten plastic reaches every part of the mold evenly. A clamp is used to keep the mold closed. The clamping force must be greater than the pressure being exerted by the molten plastic as it is injected [...]
