Review the compression molding press speed results

In this task you review the press speed results of the compression molding process.

Note: Your results may differ slightly from those shown here, when running with the latest versions of the software.

To review the Press speed: XY plot

  1. Click Press speed:XY Plot in the Study Tasks list.

    press speed

    The Press speed:XY Plot result shows the speed that the press moved at over the duration of the analysis, displayed on an XY plot of speed versus process time.

    • The compression phase consists of two segments:

      • Press compression under speed control. During this segment, the press follows the input specified for Press compression speed at incremental distances.
      • Press compression under force control. During this segment, the press speed that is required to maintain the constant press force is calculated.
  2. Compare these results to the process settings.

    proc settings

    Based on the results the press compression time might be reduced since the press closes completely shortly after 5 seconds.
