introduction to direct gate of injection mold
in an injection mold, there is a typical direct gate, which locates at the mold center, that is so called direct gate, it has a larger sectional area and less flow resistance. […]
spure is located at the entrance of a mold
we have discussed too much about the feed system of a injection mold. Today I want to say more details about feed system assembly, […]
Newer CAM software advances benefit five-axis machining
Most mold and die shops rely on three-axis machines to do most of their milling work. Five-axis machines were not considered sturdy enough to mill hard materials used in Class 1 mold cavities. Moreover, five-axis programming was harder to learn and program. In general, these statements remain true. […]
How to quickly and efficiently polish an Aluminum mold
Blow molds and many prototype molds are made from aluminum. Aluminum is a very soft material and requires special polishing procedures. A fine finish can be achieved, although it may never be as fine as the finish that is possible on steel. The following is a basic polishing procedure for aluminum. In time and with [...]
Select a suitable coating for mold component
A popular practice of moldmakers and injection molders is to coat mold components as an attempt to increase the durability and achieve longer life while reducing maintenance and operational costs. This practice is certainly plausible, as it often falls short of providing the expected results and reduces the potential for maximum cost savings. [...]
innovation benefit First-rate mold solution co,ltd
In a well-established industry like moldmaking, the idea of innovation is a bit like the weather – everyone talks about it, but no one seems to be able to do anything about it. Steven , President and CEO of First-rate mold solution co, ltd., is an exception to that rule. First-rate mold solution co, ltd [...]
Mold industry really need automation
Today’s automation cells allow for one part or multiple parts to be run and will provide unattended operation, opening up valuable resources and saving costs. Mold manufacturers can use a common interface/fixture to accomplish one part loading of electrodes and molds versus using a different set-up for each new part run. With a properly designed [...]
Temperature controller is a very important part
A quality hot runner system is critical to the injection molding of consistent, high quality parts. One of the most important performance aspects of a hot runner system is its temperature uniformity. The temperature should be consistent across the hot runner system and should not vary with time. Even slight variations in temperature can have [...]
fine toolings help mold maker to get higher productivity
As economic conditions improve and global competition intensifies, mold manufacturers are flocking to cutting-edge machine technology to achieve maximum efficiency. However, while new machine technologies dominate popular interest, tooling sometimes remains on the backburner. […]
What will we consider when purchasing EDM?
There are numerous factors to consider when purchasing a warranty program with your new EDM, let’s examine three important ones. […]
