title: Developments in multicavity hot runner tooling.
abstract: Technological developments in specific areas of multicavity hot runner systems are improving quality control and repeatability and reducing cycle times. Advances such as closed loop filling control of multicavity moulds within the mould itself, servo-actuated valve gates and synchronised valve stems are discussed.
