Introduction
The manufacturing industry employs various mould accessories to enhance production efficiency, precision, and quality. These accessories are essential components in the mould making process, offering support in different aspects of production, such as alignment, ejection, and temperature control.
Common Types of Mould Accessories
1. Ejector Pins
Ejector pins are used to push the finished part out of the mould. They come in various shapes and sizes, typically ranging from 0.5 mm to 20 mm in diameter, and are made from materials such as hardened steel to withstand the stress of repeated use.
2. Guide Pins
Guide pins ensure the correct alignment of the mould halves during the opening and closing processes. They generally have a diameter between 5 mm and 30 mm and are crucial for maintaining the quality and consistency of the final product.
3. Core Pins
Core pins are used to create hollow sections or detailed geometry in the moulded part. They vary in diameter, from 1 mm to 50 mm, depending on the application, and are often made of tool steel or stainless steel for durability.
4. Sleeves
Sleeves are used to guide cores or create thin-walled sections in moulded parts. Typically, they have diameters between 5 mm and 100 mm and are made from durable materials to ensure long-lasting performance.
5. Temperature Control Units
These accessories, which can regulate mould temperatures between -40°C and 200°C, help maintain optimal conditions during the moulding process to prevent defects such as warping or incomplete filling.
