Injection Mould Construction

A molding according to the function of each of its parts can be divided into four sections 1. Introductory part of the plastic nozzle into the cavity cavity 2. penunjuang system (support system) 3. demolding system 4. heat transfer system

Mold Base Standard Part

In the manufacture of injection mold, mold base is an integral part, mold maker can make your own mold base or buy a standard mold base, the system of the mold base can be adjusted with the construction standards required, both for the two plate and three plate, stripper plate ejectors, hot runner and mold base for a screw, when the entire standard mold base is not there to meet the new final step is to make a special mold base.

Injection Mould Classification

classification or types of mold injection very depend on what we need to make the plastic parts, because every parts have specific and unique design. when design molds we must see what the influencing factor like geometry, number of cavities, ejection principle, plastic material and shape of part.

Injection Mold Cooling

This section is the most important part of the overall mold cylcle time, because in one cycle time, the process of heat exchange to spend about 70-80% of the total cycle time, thus setting the optimal heat transfer system will greatly affect the quality and cycle time of a product.

Undercut System : Cam, Angular, Lift Cavity, Loose core

cavity and core, and its derivatives when there are undercut on product, design and construction of a good core cavity and in accordance with the requirement could increase the life of tooling itself, reduce material consumption, reduce dependence on maintenance inserts, and can reduce the cost of making the mold so the mold cost per products also declined.

Stripper Ejector Construction (step by step mold design) part 3

after make insert like in posting number 2, let's make main construction of ejector stripper plate, simple ejector stripper plate consist of three main part
1. ejector plate
2. bolts for clamp
3. ejector pin

those plate main function is to push product when ejecting, isn't need much part of plate surface that contact with bowl surface, only 0,8 mm product will able to eject from core insert side.


clearance and dimension tolerance
below is picture and some explanation where and when we set the clearance between insert part.


1. between insert core and core block, fit tolerance about 0.010 mm with height about 15mm from parting line, and after that make clearance about 0,5 until 2 mm.
2. between stripper and core block, give it free tolerance about 0.5 mm each side
3, between stripper plate and insert core, give it fit tolerance about 0.005 mm until 0.010 mm, it to prevent plastic product flash.
4. between ejector pin bolts and stripper plate, give it free tolerance from 0.5 mm until 1 mm.
5. ejector core pin and core block, give it fit tolerance about 0.010 in top side with height 10 mm, after that give free clearance about 0.5 mm in each side.
