Technical Definition & Core Assembly

A canonical Injection System is characterized by the integration of Shot Sleeve and Plunger. In industrial production environments, manufacturers listed on CNFX commonly emphasize Tool steel construction to support stable, high-cycle operation across diverse manufacturing scenarios.

Component responsible for injecting molten metal into the die cavity under high pressure

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Injection System

Definition
The injection system is a critical component of a High-Pressure Die Casting Machine that precisely meters and forces molten metal into the die cavity under controlled high pressure and velocity to form complex metal parts with minimal porosity and excellent surface finish.
Working Principle
The system receives molten metal from the holding furnace, uses a shot sleeve and plunger to accumulate and measure the required volume, then rapidly injects the metal into the die cavity through the nozzle and runner system under hydraulic or servo-electric actuation, with precise control over injection speed, pressure, and timing.
Common Materials
Tool steel, Heat-resistant steel, Ceramic components
Technical Parameters
  • Plunger diameter and stroke length determining shot volume capacity (mm) Standard Spec
Components / BOM
  • Shot Sleeve Part
    Receives and holds molten metal before injection, provides thermal insulation
    Material: Heat-resistant steel
  • Plunger Part
    Forces molten metal through the shot sleeve into the die cavity
    Material: Tool steel with wear-resistant coating
  • Nozzle Part
    Connects injection system to die, directs molten metal flow
    Material: Heat-resistant steel or ceramic
  • Injection Cylinder
    Hydraulic or servo-electric actuator that drives the plunger
    Material: Steel with precision machining
