I noticed that the tool don’t always clamp together flat because the tools sometimes are thicker. Will you have to manually set the clamping distance, or is there a sensor for that?
On clamping there are two settings we use. The first is a close distance and the second is a clamp distance. The close and clamp distance are manually entered when setting up a new tool. Those settings can be saved in the system and pulled up anytime that tool is in use. If the tools are aluminum a senor can detect closed. What your seeing in our edited clip is the close (tools touch or just shy of touching) the clamp happens just after. If the tools do not close and then clamp flat or parallel the part would have blowout. A good example of this is on our other test video of the gear. Setting up tools in the machine is a trial an error process. But again, once the settings have been perfected they can be saved for future use or adjustment. Great question!
I had to do a double take here, because the actual molded part looks like the ear-retainer for my TBI Sport Earphones. In any case, the ones it comes with are too soft and bendable, so to 3D print a stiffer set of replacements (not to mold them, but to just print a pair) would be very easy. So I stop the video to comment...and then I start the video again. And it turns out that's exactly what he's molding. Just for a different make of earphones. Doh! Have a laugh at my expense--I won't mind. :D More seriously though, it's just serendipity when one idea leads to another, as this one did. Very helpful video--it has my lil' ol' pea brain a workin'....

@@ShopBotix Do you have an estimate on the clamping force, unit?

Why is the injection unit on the left side instead of the right side of the machine?
Random but who's doing the music for these?

Hello, I would like to know the price of the injector. Also if it is possible to estimate the shipment to Ecuador
