HOW TO DETERMINE THE CLAMPING FORCE REQUIRED BY THE PRODUCT?

Clamping force refers to the locking force applied to the mold by the injection machine to overcome the expansion force of the melt in the mold cavity during injection. When the raw material is injected into the cavity at high pressure, plastic pressure will generate against mold wall, so the mold clamping unit of the injection molding machine must provide enough "mold clamping force" to prevent the mold from being stretched open.
