Runner and Gating Design Handbook 3E: Tools for Successful Injection Molding

by John P. Beaumont

Overview

For the first time, both the art and the science of designing runners and gates are presented in a concise format. Tried and true runner and gating design techniques successfully used with various materials and molding applications are described together with cutting edge new technologies. The book will help readers determine when to use what type of runner system and how to isolate molding problems generated by the gate and runner vs. other molding issues. Much emphasis is placed on the critical features in a hot runner design and how to determine what type of design is best for a specific application. Finally, readers will be able to separate the sales hype from reality when dealing with hot runner suppliers.
