Study Notes
Different Kinds of Moulds
- Various types of molds exist, each with distinct characteristics and applications.
- Mold design and function are crucial for efficient production.
- Different tasks and functions of the mold are vital for optimal performance.
Task & Functions of a Mould
- Transfer motion: The mold facilitates movement to transfer materials.
- Absorb forces/retain shape: The mold resists and maintains the shape of components.
- Guiding mold parts: Mold components guide the material to form the desired shape.
- Long lifetime: The mold design should last a significant time in use.
Mould Standard Parts
- Standardized parts are tried, tested, and typically used for years.
- Functional guarantee is ensured for these parts.
- Rapid availability and replacement options for repairs exist.
- Cost-effective in comparison to other options.
- CAD data is accessible for these standard parts.
Parts of an Injection Mould
- Mould core: It guides and shapes the part framework.
- Moving half: A framework that allows a component to be removed.
- Bolts: Secure mold components in place.
- Risers: Gaps to guide plates in motion.
- Ejector plate: Removes the product.
- Ejector locating plate & Retainer: Guides ejector pins.
- Bolster sleeves: Secure elements.
- Moving half support plate: Supports the moving half of a mold.
- Guide bushes: Guide pins.
- Retaining plate: Maintains the position of other components.
Steels for Functional Pars/Standard Parts
- Different steel types (e.g., 115CrV3, 16MnCr5) are employed for various mold parts.
- Each type exhibits specific mechanical properties (e.g., hardness, strength).
- Material properties are crucial for mold performance.
Tolerances of Shafts and Bushes
- Specific tolerances are given for components (Guide Pins).
- Clearances are defined to ensure proper fit.
- Tolerance details are listed for shaf and bush sizes.
Kinds of Injection Moulds
- Basic mould: A simple mold with 2 halves, one parting line, and one opening direction. Removal of molded parts occurs by gravity or ejector pins.
- Slider mould: A construction design with at least 2 opening directions, and hardened wedges.
- Split-Mould: A modification of the slider mould design, suitable for larger, threaded parts. Requires horizontal and vertical parting lines.
- 3-Plate Mould: A complex mould design suitable for complex shapes with multiple parting lines.
- Screw-Mould: A design featuring various threads that rotates, enabling different directions and use cases.
- Core Puller: A type of mold where the moving parts are operated hydraulically or pneumatically through switches.
- Multi Cavity Mould, IMD Moulding / IML Moulding.
Principle of 3-Plate Mould
- Process breaks down into two crucial steps: opening and closing the mold.
- Ejector system is stabilized by bushes to prevent deformations during operation. This relates to mold function.
Kinds of Injection Moulds
- Stack Mould: A complex mold suited for flat parts. Features a multi-part design.
- Change Mould: A simple, configurable mold design suited for simple, configurable designs.
Additional Information
- Various mold types can accommodate different material or component characteristics and geometries.
- Mold components must be well-fitted and maintained to function properly.
