Description
The principal benefit of nozzle plastic melt pressure transducer control is improved shot weight uniformity. The causes of shot weight variability includes the lack of precise peak pressure control and the variability of plastic melt viscosity or plastic melt temperature from shot to shot. Recognizing that plastic melt viscosity is a function of shear stress. The uniformity of viscosity from shot to shot is an important control variable. The Sensonetics Silicon on Sapphire SEN-400 Nozzle Pressure Transducer with combined Temperature Sensor can help understand this viscosity variation
