Low Constant Pressure
+ Lower clamp tonnage + Less retained stress + Uniform stress (less warp) + Lower melt temps + Less gate blush + Less flash + Less core shift + Improved multi-cavity molds + Enable family molds + Less material degradation + Less mold wear + Less press wear
No Hesitation
+ Reduced flow lines + Reduced tiger striping + Improved thin walling + Higher L/T + Improved optical clarity + Smaller cold runners
Pack-as-it-Fills
+ Less sink marks + Stronger weld lines + Faster cycle times + Improved surface finish
Cavity Pressure Response
+ Reduced flash + Automatic adjust for viscosity + Real time adjust for down cavities + Actuate sequential gates + Lighter parts (1-3%) + Not effected by leaky check ring + Not effected by worn barrel
Considerations
+ Windage designed in tool + Undercuts may hang on + Velocity limited press/tool combination + Recovery limited press/tool combination
