Little Bigger Small Plastic Injection Machine

cleaned up Gingery style machine, but with its own table and press mechanism instead of borrowing those features from a drill press. I have an LNS injector and it works just fine. Its slow producing maybe 2-3 parts per minute (with a single cavity mold) until a mold gets to hot, but it works and I have found it more than adequate for testing purposes... until now when I need to test some bigger cavities. Other than making one (which I could do if I had the time) is there a similar semi-commercial product out there with just a little bit more capacity? What's a good first step for a small proper injection machine. Something with a semi automated process that has a few second cycle time with a liquid cooled mold instead of half a minute? Not a big machine. More along the lines of the smallest commercial plastic injection machines. If you were going to make something for testing purposes would you go with band heaters, cartridge heaters or something else? I've been looking at small machines like the one I already own along with the various parts, and I could make a lever plunger type pretty cheap. It would never have to shoot more then a few parts at a time and at the cost of most components it would be no big deal to keep spares on hand, or just build two machines. |
