The Sub Gate is the sole gate in plastic injection mold that is automatically trimmed. Pins that eject the components are needed in this type of gate. It is commonly used by plastic manufacturers and has numerous variations like the tunnel gate or banana gate when it comes to injection molded plastic.
Plasma cutting performed by an industrial robot. Plasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma. Typical materials cut by this process include steel, aluminum, brass and copper though other conductive metals may be cut as well. Plasma cutting is often used in fabrication and welding shops, automotive repair and restoration, industrial construction, salvage and scrapping operations.
Plasma cutting grew out of plasma welding in the 1960s, and emerged as a very productive way to cut sheet metal and plate in the 1980s. It had the advantages over traditional metal against metal cutting of producing no metal chips, giving accurate cuts, and producing a cleaner edge than oxy-fuel cutting.he basic plasma cutting process involves creating an electrical channel of ionized gas i.e. plasma from the plasma cutter itself, through the work piece to be cut, thus forming a completed electric circuit back to the plasma cutter via a grounding clamp.
