Molding temperature control enhancement for transfer molding process via additional wire heater

In transfer molding process, molding temperature is the most vital parameter that needs to be control as tight as possible so that the optimum molding temperature is attained during transfer molding. Each type of mold compound requires different optimum molding temperature depending on their require...

Thus a good mold chase temperature controller is a big advantage in order to obtain a quality molded product. However the Low Stress Mold Compound (LSMC) type mold compound has a very small temperature operating window by referring from the viscosity curve versus molding temperature.
