how to choose machines for Mold Machining
Consider machine tool capability, intended milling techniques, programming, workholding and toolholding during your cutting tool selection process. […]

More than ever moldmakers are pressed to push the envelope on what is feasible and reasonable when it comes to accurately creating complex profiles. Companies today are heavily vested in each new product they bring to market. And good is not good enough. Manufacturing specs are often riddled with GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerances) [...]
We all know that simulation technology delivers benefits but, as with most technology, we don’t typically take full advantage of it. Simulation has a lot to offer to mold manufacturing. It’s a matter of recognizing the problems that it can help solve. […]
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance are key to sustaining the life of a mold. If preventative maintenance procedures are consistently and correctly performed, they lower the cost of ownership and increase production quality: a win-win scenario for the manufacturer and the customer. […]
A look at non-destructive cleaning processes for complex molds that require the removal of tenacious surface contamination to ensure surface quality and longevity of precision mold and molded part surfaces. […]
a most-commonly-used ejector unit only play the role as ejecting tools. Sometimes, mandrils can also partake in the molding of plastic parts according to the needs thereof. Such mandrils can then be made into the same shape as certain part of the plastic parts or just as core. […]
what is the simple ejector unit in a mold? […]
During each cycle of the injection and molding, the plastic part must strip from the cavity and core of the mold, […]
the first principle of designing ejector unit is the action point of the ejection force shall be near the core as much as possible since the plastic parts would enclasp the core when contracting.
the second principle of designing ejector unit is the ejection force shall be imposed upon the section of the plastic parts with the largest rigidity and intensity. […]
