Although the basic injection molding technology has not changed much since the publication of the third edition of Injection Molding Machines, there has been considerable progress in certain process applications that make special demands on machinery and their control functions in particular.

The book provides an elegant, succinct description of the injection molding process. By concentrating on a few key parameters, such as pressure, temperature, their rates, and their influence on the properties of moldings, it provides a clear insight into this technology. The subsequent comprehensive presentation of technical data relating to individual machine components and performance is unique and will be especially appreciated by practitioners.
