Ejector plate deformation

The ejector plate bends, causing uneven ejection. When this defect occurs in products of Process No. 1, it is usually related to a specific process parameter range or equipment status. If it persists, it will directly affect the product qualification rate and production cycle, increasing material loss and rework costs. Timely diagnosis and elimination is a basic requirement to ensure stable production.

1. Comprehensive factor: Excessive and concentrated ejection force, insufficient ejector plate thickness, unreasonable arrangement of ejector post positions, and poor guidance of the ejector plate. 2. Temperature factor: The settings of barrel temperature and mold temperature directly affect melt flowability, cooling rate, and crystallization behavior; relatively low temperature is a common cause of filling and molding quality problems, and precise control is required according to the material's recommended processing window. 3. Mold comprehensive factor: In addition to venting, mold design parameters such as the cooling water circuit layout, gate position and size, and draft angle all have a systematic impact on product quality, and optimization is needed from the source of mold design.

1. Process parameter optimization and adjustment: Increase the ejector plate thickness, evenly distribute the ejector posts, add guide pillars and guide sleeves for the ejector plate, and reduce the ejection speed. 2. Systematic troubleshooting method: Troubleshoot item by item in the order of "parameters -> materials -> mold -> equipment". First adjust the parameters that are easiest to change, such as injection pressure and temperature, and observe the effect; if there is no improvement, check the drying and flowability of the raw material; further check the mold venting and gate design; finally check the mechanical state of the equipment (non-return ring, screw). Change only one variable at a time to determine the root cause. 3. Preventive management: Establish standardized process parameter cards and quality control limits for each mold/product, and regularly conduct process capability index (CPK) assessments. For recurring problems, use fishbone diagrams or 5Why analysis to trace the root cause, and solidify countermeasures as PFMEA control points.

This problem is a typical manifestation of ejector plate deformation in '2079851475616104452, and the core of the solution lies in eliminating the root cause of the defect through systematic optimization of process parameters (temperature, pressure, speed) and rationality checks of mold design. It is recommended to start with process parameter adjustment and gradually go deeper to the equipment and mold levels.
