Technology Tuesday: Hot Runners and Mold Components

Thermoplay's DL-8B and DL-1B nozzles are designed for edge-gate injection when injection points are located in critical positions and the shape of the part to be molded requires use of a small tip.

Incoe's slim DF 12 nozzle features small outer dimensions and simplified mold cutout, enabling pinpoint injection accuracy into tight spaces.

Developed in partnership with Linear AMS (a Moog company), TruCool solutions from Milacron's DME brand are highly complex mold cavities, cores and components with conformal cooling channels produced using direct metal laser meltingT.

Hasco's Z11 guide bush has no shoulder, making is suitable for use when there is no supplementary mold plate for axially securing the bush or if the plate in which the bush sits makes an additional demolding movement, as in the case of molds with stripper plates, for example.

RJG's 6-mm cavity pressure sensor is designed for high-cavitation molds with small, tightly packed ejector pins.

With an ejection stroke ranging to 100 mm, CUMSA's DR16 offers the smallest rack size of the company’s Double Rack (DR) series of lifters, allowing release of undercuts ranging to 33 mm.

Meusburger E 1820 flat and E 1840 round latch locks are designed for controlling and secure locking of the floating plate in three-plate molds.

Used in combination with the Z18 guide block, Hasco's Z190 guide jaw is designed to precisely guide and center tools, resulting in high reliability in injection molding processes.
