Screw Configuration
Which AX408 Screw Configuration Should You Choose?
70 mm Screw – AX408-A
Injection Weight: 1243 g (PS)
Injection Rate: 313 g/s
Injection Pressure: 199 MPa
The 70 mm screw provides the highest injection pressure among the three AX408 configurations and can be considered for applications requiring higher injection pressure with a moderate shot size.
75 mm Screw – AX408-B
Injection Weight: 1426 g (PS)
Injection Rate: 360 g/s
Injection Pressure: 173 MPa
The 75 mm screw provides a balanced combination of injection capacity, injection pressure and injection rate, making it a versatile configuration for general-purpose production.
80 mm Screw – AX408-C
Injection Weight: 1625 g (PS)
Injection Rate: 411 g/s
Injection Pressure: 152 MPa
The 80 mm screw provides the highest theoretical shot size and injection rate among the three AX408 configurations and can be considered for applications requiring greater injection capacity.
The final screw configuration should be selected according to product weight, material, mold design, required injection pressure and cycle time.
How to Select the Machine
How to Select the Right 408T Injection Molding Machine Configuration
Product Weight: Product weight is one of the key factors in selecting the injection unit. The required shot size should provide sufficient capacity for the product, runner and process requirements.
Plastic Material: Different materials have different processing characteristics. Screw and barrel specifications should be selected according to the material being processed.
Mold Dimensions: Mold width, height, tie-bar spacing and mold opening requirements should all be checked before selecting the machine.
Required Cycle Time: Production requirements may require an appropriate combination of injection speed, plasticizing capacity and machine response.
Product Application: The machine configuration should ultimately be determined by the actual product and production process rather than clamping force alone.
