LR-3

This week we began the study of LR-3 sized batteries. Because the most efficient molding parameters are unknown we must experiment to find the most adequate parameters. We began by getting different shots, each with a different injection velocity. Then we measured the weight of each individual cavity and then the weight of each shot. This allows us to narrow down the range the injection velocity parameter can be in. For example we found that when the injection velocity was set at 0.2 the cavity and shot weights were not up to standard and therefore setting the injection velocity at 0.2 would create inadequate parts.

Next week we hope to continue working on the LR-3 battery seals.
