When the molding conditions fluctuate, defective products may occur, or the state may be just one step away from being defective. It is necessary to eliminate the causes before defective products are produced. Unstable heating is one of these causes, and many defects are due to improper heating. Furthermore, upon closer examination, there may be instances where defective products occur alongside voltage fluctuations. As a countermeasure, installing an automatic voltage regulator during molding can reduce the defect rate. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for further inquiries.

• Vacuum forming machine

The cause of bridge formation occurs during male mold shaping, where the sheet, once pushed up by the male mold and temporarily stretched, is elongated in the vertical direction as it adheres closely to the mold. However, it is compressed in the horizontal direction, causing the sheet to gather from both ends, resulting in excess material that forms a bridge. Another cause of bridge formation is the difference in tension. In the case of rectangular shapes, the corners or the closest points of the male molds have the highest elongation rate and tension in the nearby sheet. Therefore, when forming and adhering, the sheet approaches the mold with a delay, and if there is excess sheet material in the horizontal direction, a bridge will occur. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

I will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of vacuum forming and pressure forming compared to injection molding. The advantages include "ease of processing and low material costs" and "ease of changing or repairing molds." The disadvantages include "difficulty in applying thicknesses of 0.5mm, 1mm, and 2mm to the mold" and "variability in thickness accuracy between the side facing the mold and the opposite side." [Advantages (excerpt)] - Can be completed in about 1/10 the time of blister packs, etc. - Since it is a separate process from the mold, corrections may not be necessary. - Thickness can be changed from prototypes for production. - Production using plugs from prototypes is possible. - Small-scale production and combinations are possible. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

• Vacuum forming machine

In convex molding, the molded product shrinks as it cools, tightening against the mold, which makes demolding difficult. Therefore, a draft angle of about 2 degrees or more is generally applied. If the side walls of the convex mold are finished smoothly, demolding becomes easier, especially for highly fluid materials like polyethylene and polypropylene, where it is essential. By slowing down the descent speed of the table and blowing out demolding air while lowering, and by creating air holes for demolding air at the top of the mold, demolding can be done easily without deforming the molded product. *For detailed information, please refer to the related links. For further inquiries, feel free to contact us.*

• Vacuum forming machine

The optimal temperature for molds varies greatly depending on the material, ranging from 30 to 90 degrees. As countermeasures, there are broadly two methods: one is to blow air or water onto the side not in contact with the mold for cooling, and the other is to cool the mold itself to absorb heat from it for cooling. For resins with high molding temperatures, warm water is used to raise the temperature, and maintaining a certain temperature is necessary for good molding. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for further inquiries.*

Here is an introduction to vacuum forming molds. Convex molds exhibit strong strength on the flat surface, allowing them to withstand pressure from above, but the sides are molded slightly weaker. Concave molds have strong edges, while the flat part is thinner and weaker. The mold for convex-concave press forming is a molding method that compensates for the weaknesses of both convex and concave molds, producing a balanced molded product with uniform strength on the top and sides. However, the cost of the mold is higher for double-sided molds compared to single-sided ones. [Types of Vacuum Forming Molds] ■ Convex Mold ■ Concave Mold ■ Convex-Concave Mold *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

The shrinkage rate varies depending on the materials used, so it is necessary to calculate in advance and make the dimensions of the mold larger accordingly. The standard shrinkage rate for polyvinyl chloride is 3/1000 to 4/1000, while for polystyrene it is 4/1000 to 5/1000. Standard values for other shrinkage rates are listed in the table at the link below, so please take a look. *For more details, you can view them from the related link.
