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.
