INJECTION MOLDING PROBE WITH COAXIAL THERMOCOUPLE TUBE AND HEATING ELE MENT

摘要

An injection molding probe with an elongated outer body has an electrical heating element wound in a helical coil around a central thermocouple tube integrally braze filled in silver in the body. A thermocouple bore extends through the tube into the silver adjacent the forward end of the body. This improves temperature control of the melt flowing around the probe and also facilitates manufacture.
