Evolving Rotational Molding Machines and Molding Techniques

Microminiature molding techniques for cochlear electrode arrays.

We provide a general method for producing a variety of small, complex electrode arrays based on injection molds produced using computer-aided drafting and machining (CAD-CAM) procedures and a novel method for connecting to the very fine electrical leads associated with the individual contacts of such arrays. Cat-sized cochlear electrode arrays with up to eight contacts were built according to t...

Molding Components using Program Specialization Techniques

To our point of view, adaptability is a key characteristic of components and should be at the heart of any proper component model. However, contrarily to the object crystal-box model of reuse, which assumes full access to the object implementation, this adaptability should be strongly guided in order to keep the necessary decoupling between the component producer and its consumers, another key ...

Precision Injection Molding PRECISION PROCESS CONTROL OF INJECTION MOLDING

1 INTRODUCTION The technical requirements of precision injection molded components demand a heightened level of process performance, and with corresponding process monitoring and control technologies. To obtain the desired critical to quality attributes (CTQs) of the molded products, the injection molding process must be consciously designed such that the key process variables (KPVs) are observ...

Dynamic of Taking out Molding Parts at Injection Molding

E. Ragan, J. Dobránsky, P. Baron, M. Kočiško, J. Svetlík, Technical University in Košice, Slovakia Most plastic parts used in automobile production are manufactured by injection molding. Their quality depends also on taking out molding and on the manipulators for it. Task of this contribution is to theoretically describe a transport of molding at taking out after injection molding in relation o...
