Plastic Injection Mold Manufacturing – Rotating Head Irrigation Sprinkler System Component
Mold Design Process and Plastic Injection Manufacturing
1️⃣ Design and 3D Modeling
• The product is 3D modeled using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software for injection molding.
• The wall thickness, inner and outer surface quality, moving parts, and assembly points are thoroughly analyzed.
• Mold parting lines and ejection directions are determined to evaluate manufacturability.
2️⃣ Mold Manufacturing (Tooling)
• The steel mold is machined with high-precision CNC machines and wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) techniques.
• Multi-part and movable mold cores enable the production of detailed and functional parts with ease.
• Cooling channels (waterline cooling) are optimized to achieve fast cycle times.
3️⃣ Material Selection
• Engineering plastics are preferred for products like sprinkler heads that must withstand mechanical loads and environmental conditions.
• High-strength and UV-resistant plastics such as Polypropylene (PP), Polyamide (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), or ABS are used.
4️⃣ Injection Molding Process
• High-precision injection molding machines operate with optimal temperature, pressure, and cycle time parameters.
• After injection, the product is automatically retrieved by robots and subjected to deburring and quality control processes.
5️⃣ Assembly and Final Processing
• The product is completed with ultrasonic welding, screw connections, or additional assembly components if necessary.
• Post-production dimensional inspections, durability tests, and performance analyses ensure quality certification.
