There are three types of configurations for mold parts and injection parts: horizontal, vertical, and angular

(1) Horizontal injection molding machine: Horizontal injection molding machine is the most commonly used type. Its characteristic is that the center line of the injection assembly is concentric or consistent with the center line of the mold assembly, and parallel to the installation ground. Its advantages are low center of gravity, stable operation, convenient mold installation, operation, and maintenance, large mold opening, and small space occupation; But it occupies a large area and is widely used in large, medium, and small computers.

(2) Vertical injection molding machine: Its characteristic is that the axis of the mold clamping device and the injection device are arranged in a straight line and perpendicular to the ground. It has the advantages of small footprint, easy mold assembly and disassembly, easy installation of inserts, uniform plasticization of materials falling from the hopper, easy automation and multi machine automatic line management. The disadvantage is that the ejected product is not easy to automatically detach, often requiring manual or other methods to remove, making it difficult to achieve fully automated operation and large-scale product injection; The height of the machine makes feeding and maintenance inconvenient.

(3) Angle injection molding machine: The axes of the injection device and the clamping device are arranged perpendicular to each other. According to the relative position between the centerline of the injection assembly and the installation base, there are three types: horizontal, vertical, and horizontal. ① Horizontal, the centerline of the injection assembly is parallel to the base, while the centerline of the mold assembly is perpendicular to the base. ② Vertical and horizontal, the centerline of the injection assembly is perpendicular to the base surface, while the centerline of the mold assembly is parallel to the base surface. The advantage of the angle injection machine is that it combines the advantages of both horizontal and vertical injection machines, making it particularly suitable for molds with asymmetric geometric shapes for opening side gates.
