The injection molding is a process that has been emerging in the industry, due to the technical and economic benefits obtained with reference to other processing of materials. Currently, parts with specific requirements found in this process the best solution, displacing traditional materials (bronze, aluminum, gray cast iron or steel, etc.) in industrial applications. The level of complexity, the quality of materials and the number of cavities affect the cost of the mold. In order to establish an appropriate relationship between production costs and the mold must be defined well, figure to be injected, the number of parts and the cost of the mold. This article aims to make an approximation of the theoretical and economic calculations applied to mold plastic injection process. Finally, it was found that the mold, not only has a strong impact to the profitability of the process, but its proper design depends on the competitive position of the plastics factories.
Resumen
La inyección de plásticos es un proceso que se ha venido abriendo paso en la industria, debido a los beneficios técnicos y económicos obtenidos en referencia a otros procesos de transformación de materiales. Actualmente, piezas con requerimientos específicos han encontrado en este proceso la mejor solución, desplazando a materiales tradicionales (bronce, aluminio, fundición de hierro gris o de acero, etc.) en aplicaciones industriales. El nivel de complejidad, la calidad de los materiales y el número de cavidades inciden en el costo del molde. Para poder establecer una relación adecuada entre costos de producción y el molde se deben definir bien, la figura a inyectar, el número de piezas y el costo del molde. Este artículo pretende realizar una aproximación de los cálculos teóricos y económicos aplicados al molde del proceso de inyección de plástico. Finalmente, se encontró que el molde, no solo presenta una fuerte incidencia con la rentabilidad del proceso, sino que de su adecuado diseño depende la posición competitiva de las fábricas de plásticos.
Resumo
Injeção de plástico é um processo que tem vindo a surgir na indústria, devido aos benefícios técnicos e econômicos em referência a outro processamento de materiais. Atualmente, as peças com requisitos específicos encontrados neste processo a melhor solução, deslocando materiais tradicionais (bronze, alumínio, ferro fundido cinzento ou aço, etc.) em aplicações industriais. O nível de complexidade, a qualidade dos materiais e o número de cavidades afetar o custo do molde. A fim de estabelecer uma relação adequada entre os custos de produção e o molde deve ser bem definida, a figura a ser injetado, o número de peças e o custo do molde. Este artigo tem como objetivo fazer uma aproximação dos cálculos teóricos e econômicas aplicadas para moldar processo de injeção de plástico. Finalmente, verificou-se que o molde, não só tem um forte impacto para a rentabilidade do processo, mas o seu design adequado depende da posição competitiva das fábricas de plástico.
