Yes, the guide column of the injection machine needs to maintain accurate positioning during movement. This is because the guide column plays a crucial role in the mold locking device of the injection molding machine, helping to ensure the alignment and precise closure of the mold. If the guide column cannot maintain accurate positioning during movement, it will cause uneven or misaligned mold closure, thereby affecting the accuracy and product quality of injection molding.
The main function of the guide column is to keep the mold stable during the closing process, ensuring that the two half molds of the mold can be accurately docked under the action of the injection molding machine. The precision of the fit between the guide column and the guide sleeve has a direct impact on the closing pressure of the mold, the stability of the mold operation, and the dimensional accuracy of the parts. If the guide column deviates or cannot maintain the correct position during movement, it may cause uneven closure of the mold, which in turn affects the flow of materials during injection molding, resulting in incomplete filling, pores, surface defects, and other problems.
The positioning accuracy of the guide column will also affect the production efficiency of the injection molding machine and the durability of the equipment. If the positioning of the guide post is not accurate, it will increase friction, accelerate wear, lead to equipment failure, and increase maintenance costs. Especially in high-frequency production processes, precise positioning of guide columns is crucial for ensuring long-term stable operation.
