| Resum: | When a mold is built, it is essential that it fits and functions according to its design specifications. The mold operates as part of a system that includes the machine and other auxiliary equipment, making it crucial to optimize all points of interface between these components. Neglecting this can lead to delays in launching the part into production, increased product costs or reduced mold lifespan due to premature wear. Here, some straightforward and practical guidelines to ensure that your newly built mold or existing mold fits properly in the injection molding machine and operates at its maximum capacity are offered. Regardless of how well a mold is constructed it won't be effective if the machine cannot meet the necessary molding requirements to produce quality products. Among the considerations and tips to ensure that the mold will run at its intended speed throughout its lifespan include tie bar spacing and tie bar size, stroke and shut height and mold and ejector rod mounting locations. |
