Runner and Gating Design Handbook - Tools for Successful Injection Molding

The first book to shed light on the critical role the melt delivery system plays in successful injection molding. This book will give you an immediate leg up by reducing mold commissioning times, increasing productivity, improving customer satisfaction, and achieving quality goals such as Six Sigma.
How do you determine the optimum design of your runners and gates; what type of runner system (hot or cold variations) do you use for a specific application; how do you identify molding problems generated by the gate and runner vs. those stemming from other molding issues; what should you consider when selecting a gating location? The "Runner and Gate Design Handbook" will give you the means to get to the bottom of these issues as well as provide specific guidelines for process optimization and troubleshooting.

Rezension:

"Ein Handbuch wird dann seinem Namen gerecht, wenn man es häufig und gern zur Hand nimmt. Das ist der Neugestaltung bestens gelungen, denn die Darstellungen sind optisch ansprechend und bringen ein Gut-Gemacht-Feeling hervor: 'So schön kann man das bildlich untermauern, was im Text daneben erarbeitet wird.' [...] Insgesamt gesehen ist dies ein wirklich lohnendes Buch, das den Stand der amerikanischen Spritzgießtechnik hervorragend zusammenfasst. Demnach ist es auch ein Muss für alle, die global in der Spritzgießtechnik mitreden wollen, sei es in der Ausbildung, Entwicklung oder in der kontinenteübergreifenden Produktion." (Kunststoffe, 2008)
