Advantages and Application Analysis of Vertical Injection Molding Machines

1. The vertical injection molding machine has a small footprint and high space utilization rate
Vertical structure design: The mold and injection devices are arranged vertically, with a relatively high overall height but less horizontal space occupation, suitable for compact workshops or scenes that require multiple devices to be arranged in parallel.

Applicable scenarios: Small factories, laboratories, and multi machine collaborative production lines.

2. Advantages of embedded molding
Gravity assisted positioning: The vertical mold opening direction facilitates the placement of metal inserts, electronic components, etc. (such as threaded sleeves, sensor housings) by manual or robotic hands, avoiding the displacement of inserts caused by horizontal direction in horizontal machines.

Automated integration: can be combined with visual positioning systems to improve the accuracy and efficiency of precision insert molding.

3. Flexible mold adaptation
Bottom ejection design: The ejection mechanism is usually located below, suitable for deep cavity thin-walled parts (such as cup-shaped products) or the need for direct material ejection after ejection.

Easy mold installation: Especially suitable for three plate molds or special structure molds, debugging and maintenance are more convenient.

4. Wide adaptability of materials
Low flow material processing: Vertical injection can reduce material retention in the flow channel, making it more friendly to heat sensitive materials (such as PVC) or high viscosity materials (such as silicone).

Multi color/multi material molding: With the help of a turntable or rotating worktable, it is easy to achieve dual color injection molding (such as toothbrush handles) or the combination of soft and hard glue products.

5. Convenient operation and maintenance of vertical injection molding machine
Human computer interaction friendly: The operation panel of the vertical injection molding machine is usually located in the lower part of the equipment, making it easy to adjust parameters; The installation height of the mold is moderate to reduce the risk of workers climbing.

Cleaning and maintenance: The material barrel and screw of the vertical injection molding machine are designed vertically, making it difficult for residual materials to accumulate, making cleaning more convenient and reducing downtime.

6. Energy consumption and cost optimization
Short channel design: Most vertical injection molding machines use direct pressure locking molds, with short channels to reduce material waste, especially suitable for small batch precision parts (such as medical equipment).

Low hydraulic demand: Some vertical injection molding machine models use servo motor drive, which reduces energy consumption by 20% -30% compared to traditional horizontal machines.

Typical application areas
Electronics industry: connectors, coil frames (requiring copper embedded parts), micro gears.

Automotive accessories: sensor housing, headlight inserts, interior buttons.

Daily necessities: cosmetic bottle caps (two tone), tableware (with metal decorations).

Medical products: syringe push rods, test tube plugs (suitable for clean rooms).
