Historically, early injection molding machines would essentially be pressure controlled.
Many good parts have been made under such process control. So,it is not all bad !
However, note that when molding an end-gated fairly long part, a constant pressure fill translates into an ever decreasing melt front velocity, as the pressure drop builds up.
This in turns corresponds to a decreasing average temperature of the melt front along the flow.
Such a decreasing T will create an increasingly strong degree of molecular orientation when moving away from the gate. The part, especially when using semi-crystalline grades, will have a strong gradient of mechanical properties along the flow which could be as serious as showing good ductility near the gate and severe brittleness far from the gate.
