HOW TO SELECT HEATER SIZE: Establish maximum temperature at which part will operate. Calculate total wattage needed to produce this temperature. Establish the diameter and length of the Heater that is best suited to the dimensions of your part. Estimate…
Injection molding of thermoset and thermoplastics is the fastest growing element of the molding industry. New materials are being developed continuously; these and modified materials greatly enlarge the market for new plastics products. Molding machinery, mold engineering, product design, methods…
Electroforming This is a very similar process to (hut not the same as) electroplating. Whereas with plating a deposit of about 25 [im is the norm, electroforming can he millimetres thick. Nickel or cobalt—nickel is deposited onto a former, which…
Standard Electrodischarge Machining (EDM) This method is often called spark erosion and is widely used in the manufacture of cavities, cores and punches. EDM allows the generation of complex cavity and punch forms to be achieved with relative ease compared…
Drilling Machines Drilling is considered by many to be the fastest and most economical metal-cutting or machining process. A small drill press which will take diameter drills is a popular and inexpensive machine for drilling, reaming, lapping, tapping, spot-facing,…
