Hold
Static Hold Method
After the completion of dynamic hold, if enabled, the
press motion stops for a specified amount of time to
allow for molten plastic to solidify. This phase is called
static hold.
To program static hold, set the
Static Hold Method
to
Time
, and enter the desired
Hold Time
. Once the static
hold phase is complete, the press travels back to the Top
of Stroke position.
This unique feature allows for superior consistency on
overall part height. This is unlike a pneumatic press that
continues to compress the part during the hold phase.
In addition, Static Hold can contribute to stronger weld
bonds. See Figure 6-20 below.
