With the continuous improvement of the level of mold manufacturing and mold workers’ skill in China, more and more European and American companies have dropped their purchase orders to Chinese plastic mold factories. The continuous deepening of information exchanges between the two sides has greatly promoted the development of China’s mold industry. For those buyers …
short shot short shot in injection molding refers to the phenomenon that the injection material does not completely fill the cavity of the mold, resulting in incomplete parts. It usually occurs in thin-walled areas or areas away from the gate. For some internal face, the short shot does not matter without affecting the beauty; no …
What is plastic mold? The tooling used for plastic injection molding is called plastic mold or plastic injection mold. Most plastic products are molded by plastic molds. Plastic molds are divided into two types: thermosetting and thermoplastic mold ,according to the molding plastic characteristics. Based on the molding process, the plastic mold is divided into …
The gate is a narrow intersection between the main runner and the mould cavity, and the intersection is also the shortest part on the whole mold. Its function is to make the molten plastic enter into the mould cavity quickly, which is beneficial to the rapid filling of the cavity. After filling, the gate is condensed …
In order to understand the various designs of undercut mould, we must first understand the definition of what a moulded undercut really is. In its most simplistic form，an undercut can be described as any feature on the moulding which resists the line of the draw or inhibits the ejection of the moulding from the mould. …
The choice of mould steel is of great importance if the mould is to function effectively. The prime function of any mould steel must be that of meeting the service requirements imposed upon it. Moulding requirements vary，e.g. from simple prototype work undertaken on soft aluminium construction moulds, to fully hardened alloy steel volume production moulds …
A runnerless or hot-runner mould system could be considered as an extension of the moulding machine injection unit. In this case，the polymer is kept molten right up to the cavity gate by means of additional heating elements controlled by thermocouples. The working temperature of the hot-runner system is not dissimilar to that of the molten …
