Technology and Sourcing Guide 2023: Mold Components
Mold components make the mold work and the mechanisms used to deliver a quality end product. Key components include mold bases, pins, ejectors, lifters, bushings, guides and alignment devices.
Single-Shot Nozzle Guarantees Efficient Injection Temperature Control
The Single Shot H6300 from Hasco offers an optimal price-to-performance ratio for small- and medium-sized injection molding applications.
Streamlined, Customer-Friendly Website Design Helps Modern Moldmakers
Hasco’s newly redesigned website enables users to navigate more than 100,000 products, as well as other innovations and services, easier, faster and 24/7.
An "Impossible" Automation Project Still Proves Invaluable
Two years later and a once-thought-impossible automation solution is still proving its worth to this high-mix, low-volume manufacturer via variable capacity.
#ICYMI
Slide Unit Range Supports Damage-Free Demolding
Flexible demolding of complex injection-molded parts with a variety of mounting options are made possible with the Hasco Z18140 slide range.
New Alignment Options Machined From Parting Line
Progressive’s expanded Z-Series Alignment Lock options provide precision alignment of mold halves to protect shut-offs and to ensure parting line match.
Molded Part Protection Against Production Damage, Contamination
PCS Moldshields, clear plastic “curtains,” help contain molded parts once ejected from the mold, enabling fewer damaged or contaminated parts, and thus less waste.
Mold Ejector Accelerators Achieve Second-Stage Ejection
Progressive Components says its Ejector Accelerators can be used when additional pin travel is required to release molded parts from lifters, stripper plates or deep core features, without the need for a second set of ejector plates.
Enlarged Ejector Range to Cover Moldmaking Applications
Hasco says the approximately 600 additional new versions gives its ejector portfolio maximum demolding flexibility.
Slide Components Can Run Greaseless, Provide New Side Actions
Progressive Components says the Z-Series proprietary treatment guarantees long-term operation and durability, while there are also new side-action options for greaseless applications.
