Minimum Profile Requirements
We present minimum requirements for inject-mode profiles. Use this as a
starting point for developing your own part-specific profiles.

Shot Size is the amount of molten plastic injected into the mold. Cushion is
the amount of molten plastic that remains in the barrel after injection.The
sum of shot size (PPC61) plus cushion (PPC62) tells the QDC module
where to terminate the Plastication profile.
During injection, the QDC module does NOT terminate the shot at
cushion, but continues injecting until one of the four injection transition
conditions occurs. These four conditions during the injection profile are:
elapsed time exceeds a preset limit
ram (screw) pressure exceeds a preset limit
cavity pressure exceeds a preset limit
ram (screw) position becomes less than a preset limit
