HXM520-T: HXM optimized edition for painting bucket

The injection moulding process is usually described as complicated. It is not; it is unforgiving. Four variables decide whether a cavity fills cleanly — melt temperature, injection speed, hold pressure and cooling time — and the machine's only real job is to repeat them identically, shot after shot...

In a typical 25 to 35 second injection molding cycle, cooling eats up more than half the clock, while filling usually accounts for around 5 percent. Yet the parts that get scrapped on the floor are rarely scrapped because cooling was too short. Short shots, sink marks, flash and warpage trace back ...
