When choosing the appropriate drive for injection molding, there are some key characteristics to keep in mind. For ideal operation, you will likely want your drive to feature analog and digital I/O, dynamic response, overload torque, and slip compensation. 

With your application in mind, you should now gather the load data, system inertia, required accel and decal rates, min and max speed, overload requirements, and other related metrics.
Next, gather motor data, including rated torque, HP/kW, Volts, insulation class, speed, and more. This information is crucial for proper drive selection. 

Does your chosen motor meet or exceed the application requirements? If not, then it should be replaced with one suitable for the application. Otherwise, you are now ready to choose your drive based on the features and requirements necessary for the application.
