Well, a lot of these questions I'm trying to answer to myself because it's a new field for me. The maximum mass is about 100 kg but it's pretty hard to tell because I only need to heat near the part of the mold where the plastic makes contact. I'm planning to heat in 3 minutes and cool in the same amount of time. The idea is to heat up to 150°C and cool down to 40°C. But these parameters can change with the experimentation. As I told in the other messages another possibility to heat could be induction heating but I think it's going to be complex aswell to make it work because of the size of the molds. Cooling is not a problem the way I see it, the problem is mostly combine the two cycles in one. -- *Leonardo Marsaglia*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
