Try not to make the projection of the ejector pin coincide with that of the active core on the parting line to prevent mutual interference of the slide and the ejector unit during restoration.
When the slide is set on the fixed mold, […]
Pull the active core out from the molding position to a place not interfering ejection of the plastic parts, and the distance moved by the active core or slide is called core-pulling distance. Generally, core-pulling distance equals to the depth of side hole plus a safety distance of 2—3mm. A core-pulling mechanism for pulling a slide [...]
The size of dip angle is not only related with the bending force of angle pin and the actually realized pulling force but also connected with the working length of angle pin, […]
Planned workholding, in its simplest form, is planning in advance how the workholding will be accomplished prior to the job getting to the machine. In the more complex form, all workholding for each machine is planned at the design stage with documentation that will provide the plan for the workholding at each operation. Planned workholding [...]
High quality plastics components are becoming an increasingly important part of the perceived quality of products. An important part of this high quality perception is a flawless and often high gloss surface finish. Traditional methods such as surface coatings and other secondary operations are often expensive and impractical for high-production volumes. In many cases, the [...]
Technology—including CAD technology—has changed dramatically since the 1980s. As soon as new technology is developed, it is integrated into products and our way of doing business. In the manufacturing world, CAD software versions are released at regular intervals with product design and manufacturing processes integrating the new CAD technology as soon as it becomes available. [...]
Surface finish problems can be profit killers for today’s mold manufacturer. One of the most common causes is chatter created by vibration in the CNC machine tool cutting process. This can lead to higher costs, delayed deliveries and even lost orders due to poor quality. In addition, vibration can cause uneven tool wear, resulting in [...]
When the side concave of plastic parts is shallow and requires relatively smaller pulling force, spring or ebonite can be used to achieve core-pulling.
Such mechanism pulls out the active cores by utilizing the mold opening force of injection machine and through the driving of parts. […]
