Undercuts and Draft

-

Undercuts Modern molding practice dictates certain principles of design which should be observed if molded articles are to be produced successfully. Most elementary is the fact that the piece must be easily removed from the mold after it has been formed. https://res.cloudinary.com/dl8a9jvpa/video/upload/v1515562261/Undercuts_ni5xth.mp4   This point is frequently overlooked, and many products are designed with undercuts which make it impossible to eject them directly from the mold cavity. If undercuts are essential, then split molds or removable mold sections are required, and these increase the cost of molds and of the molded articles. Undercuts should always be avoided unless mechanical construction or the function of the piece make such a design an absolute necessity. External Undercuts When undercuts are located in the outside contours of the piece, they are called external undercuts. It would be impossible to withdraw a piece of such a shape from a one-piece mold cavity. Whi...

Design molded reinforced plastics parts

Design rules Designing molded reinforced plastics parts is difficult because of the large number of variables encountered in the material and the process, and the difficulty of controlling some of them. These variables include: composition of the resin, including fillers, catalysts and gardening agents, geometry of the reinforcing material, resin-reinforcement ratio, degree of saturation of reinforcement by resin, and temperature and time of cure. The cardinal design rule , which cannot be overemphasized, is: consult the custom mold maker in the primary design stages. In addition, follow these general design rules:    Integrate parts.     Make prototypes .    Mold to dimensions; parts cannot be “sprung” after they are molded.    Use stress formulas valid for fiber-reinforced plastics.    Know the conditions of use.    Consider effects of the molding procedure. ...

heating system of hot runner manifold systems

Heating   The correct heating of hot runner manifold systems is very important and is crucial to the success of the tool in production. There must be good heat transfer between the heater and the surface being heated or the heater will fail prematurely. Heater channels in the manifold should be smooth in order to achieve this and must not be left rough machined. There are six types of heating systems that are commonly used in hot runner tooling: Band heaters Coil heaters Cartridge heaters Tubular heaters Integral heaters Hybrid heater/heat pipe systems Band Heaters This is the most common method of heating external cylindrical surfaces such as barrels, nozzles and tubular manifolds. Band heaters give good uniform heating right across their width and are available in a wide range of wattages and sizes. Mica and ceramic insulation are usually used. Mains voltage operation is most common, although low-voltage systems are available at higher cost. Sizes up to 100 mm ...
