The Almo company manufactures and supplies edge gate cutting pins used to separate the runner and gate on the edge of the plastic molding during mold opening.
Almo has recently introduced a range of square cutting pins, which can be modified to the plastic moldings’ edge profile. This product allows a large gate size for improved molding quality and a minimal gate mark. The square pins are secured in position by a cap screw, and can be cut to the required length to assist in mold design configurations.
The new square pins are made with M2 steel at 62 HRC for long life.
