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.

Pin Point Gate Construction

pin point gate is commonly used in 3 plate mold types, see explanation more about 3 plate more here, basically the pin point gate part is like picture below
































those picture is pin point gate picture, to make gate like that we can buy pin point gate bush in mold manufacture company or we make it by EDM (electronic Discharge Machine) Process, the special EDM torch for Pin Point gate also available in mold part markets.
Pin Point gate Bush
picture below shown simple pin point gate bush,




































the construction to assembly the pin point gate bush in mold is like picture below
straight, without extended bush, picture below shown, locating ring, pin point gate bush, runner lock pin, runner, product and mold base plate (top plate, stripper plate and cavity plate)



some times, we need extended pin point gate bush, why when plastic material have high shear rate, we need to assembly extended bush, so from diameter gate until runner plastic material will easy to flow the cavity.
see the construction at picture below


here some good link of standard component of gate,
