Hall Effect Sensor
A Hall effect sensor is a transducer that measures the magnetic field around it. It works based on the Hall effect, which is the production of a voltage difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor, transverse to an electric current in the conductor and a magnetic field perpendicular to the current. Here are some… Continue reading Hall Effect Sensor

Introduction to molding – Casting
Casting is a manufacturing process in which molten material, like metal, is poured into a mold and allowed to harden. Once solidified, the mold is broken or ejected to retrieve the casting. This method enables the production of intricate and complex components with specific properties. How Does Casting Differ From Injection Molding? Casting and injection… Continue reading Introduction to molding – Casting
Introduction to molding – Extrusion molding
What is Extrusion Molding Extrusion moulding is used to form plastic or metal materials into a pre-defined shape. During the process, the material is melted and pushed through an extrusion moulding machine, forming a long, tube-like shape or rod. This is cooled and cut to the required length. Often, extrusion moulding plastic products created in… Continue reading Introduction to molding – Extrusion molding
Introduction to molding – Thermoforming
What is Thermoforming? Thermoforming is a plastic manufacturing process that involves heating a plastic sheet and forming it using a mold to specific shapes. The shaped plastic then gets cooled down and trimmed to result in the finished part. The process is executed using a thermoforming machine to heat and stretch the pliable thermoplastic sheet over the… Continue reading Introduction to molding – Thermoforming
Introduction to molding – Injection molding
Injection moulding is a manufacturing process that allows for parts to be produced in large volumes. It works by injecting molten materials into a mould. It is typically used as a mass production process to manufacture thousands of identical items. Injection moulding materials include metals, glasses, elastomers and confections, although it is most commonly used… Continue reading Introduction to molding – Injection molding
