| Fill Transfer
Proper transfer means consistent fill patterns
An extremely important step in setting up the process for consistency.
Set it up right the first time
Completely remove pack and/or hold time to 0.0 seconds. Upon completion of purging barrel, engage injection unit against mold and run machine in SEMI-AUTOMATIC until the proper transfer position is set. Run approximately 5 shots that are short and then set transfer position to where the PARTS are 95-98% full. Never completely fill out a shot due to variances in material densities and also venting. Always fill the cavities as fast as the mold will which reduces stress in the plastic and also aligns the molecules. Once the parts are filled to proper amount add time to packing. Adjust pack time and pressure to accommodate gate seal-off.
