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.

Mold Handling Picture after Assembly

Picture below show 3 plate mold after assembly, the position indicate ready to handling by crane, eye bolt was attached at center of mold plate.

after assembly process, make sure you has attached the tension link in 3 plate mold type or safety bolt or magnet in 2 plate type of mold this to prevent mold plate falling down when handling up with crane, when design eye bolt for handling, give bolt hole about 1 cm more to cavity direction from center line of mass of mold, it's commonly in plate 3 or 4 depending on how wide each mold plate, why it's must move about 1 cm ? the reason is same as safety bold, by move those bolt position when handling with crane mold base will decline about 5-30 degree, and top plate in upper position, this method make more secure when handling.

at this picture below, number 1 is eye bolt position in ready position to handling, and tension link (2) was attached.



from where we know that those mold is three plate, from the characteristics of three PLATE MOLD we can see from picture that :
1. Attached tension link, tension link function is o pull plate number 3 or cavity plate then by puller bolt, cavity plate will also pull the second plate, and cut the runner from nozzle.
2. second plate, it's indicate that those mold is 3 plate mold type, why because in 2 plate type, second plate is doesn't use. second plate is necessary when gate type is pin point gate.
3. runner plate, if you see more carefully, between second plate and third plate attached runner plate, in 2 plate mold type, runner plate does not use, because runner attached in third plate.

green arrow show injection nozzle machine where must be attached and indicate flow of plastic material during injection process.
