Injection molding
Hi all,
I am translating a manual for an injection molding system for electrical batteries and its associated quality control system.
The sentence is question reads:
Aufgabe des Gerätes ist
- die Prüfung von Batteriekästen aus PP auf Durchschlagsfestigkeit der Anguss-Stelle am Boden (Hochspannungsprüfung)
- Dichtfähigkeit des Schweißrandes und der Kammern nach außen und zueinander (Druckprüfung) sowie
- die Erkennung von Lunker und ***nicht ausgespritzten Stellen***.
I understand this as large, unintended cavities in areas that are otherwise supposed to be filled with material.
What would be an appropriate term?
Target language is US English.
Thank you.
Peter

A crude translation would be ‘places which are not filled/sprayed’, which is the definition of a short shot used in injection moulding quality control (both in the UK and US). Research confirms it.
Example sentence:
A short shot is the incomplete filling of a mold cavity which results in the production of an incomplete part.
Parts are initially inspected directly out of molding machine. Quality Assurance technicians are trained to identify and rectify the following defects: Sink marks, Short shots, Burn marks...
