Types Of Injection Mould

There are many types of Injection Mould, Such as Two-Plate Mould or Three-Plate Mould.
Moulds are Designed as Two-Plate Mould or Three-Plate Mould, depending on the type of component to be manufactured.

Types Of Injection Mould




Two-Plate Mould :

  • Two plate Mould is the easiest injection Mould structure and has many advantages. It's consist with A side and B side 2 main parts, when it is load in ejection machine to do Moulding, A side is fixed and held still, B side is movable.

  • Two-Plate Mould has only one parting line. If a runner is used, it is connected to the moulded product and requires manual removal and separation after the part is ejected. This type of injection Mould is the least expensive to make and is commonly used for parts with relatively simple geometries.



Three-Plate Mould :



  • Three-Plate Mould has two parting lines, one for the runner system and one for the moulded product. When the Injection Mould opens, the runner is automatically separated from the product to allow separate handling. This eliminates the need for manual separation and removal and the sprue and runner system may be fed directly to a recycling system. This type of mould is more expensive than the two-plate Mould. 


  • Three plate Moud is also named as small gate Mould, comparing with Two Plate Mould, one of the differences is additional Mould plate is required between top clamp plate and cavity plate, which called runner plate, it allows the runner scrap and Plastic Moulded parts released separately.


  • Three plate mould is usually employed when the part is too big and need multiple injection points. Three plate mould design has more advantages to locate the gate.

Injection Mould Elements Injection Mould Elements The Types Elements Uses in Inejction Mould Making : Top plate Cavity plate Core plate Core back plate Guide pillar and guide bush Ejector plate Ejector back plate Ejector guide pillar and guide bush Ejection gap Centering bush Air vents Mould Polishing Mould Filling Spacer Block Sprue bush Sprue puller bush Sprue puller pin Register ring Bottom plate Top Plate :  Top Plate is Also Known as Master Plate. The top plate houses the register ring, anchor bush, guide bush. The top plate is a bit  wider than the other plates so as to serve the purpose of clamping the Mould to the platen of the  injection-Moulding machine. Top plate holds the fixed half of the Mould together.  In Top Plate, Locating Ring Is Attached. Normally for Top Plate, MS Material Is Using. Cavity plate :  The Mould is composed of a cavity and a core. The cavity is a concave cavity plate. Cavity pl...

Single Cavity Injection Mould

Image
Single Cavity Injection Mould A Single Cavity Mould produces a single product per cycle. Whether you need a single or a multi-cavity mould depends on the number of products you want to produce within a certain timeframe. while a multi-cavity mould produces more than one product per cycle. This is the option when laying down an injection mould tool. The tool will produce one moulding at a time, at a set cycle time. Single cavity tool cost will be less compared to multi cavity tool. Therefore initial investment will be less. Single Cavity tool is easy to produce, require less machining. Therefore lead time for single cavity tool will be less. If your product has a cycle time of one minute, you will never be able to produce one million products a year with a single cavity mould by injection moulding.  If your goal is to produce a million products per year, you will need a multi-cavity mould. Advantages: Instead of producing one two cavity tool some companies prefer...

What Is CNC Machine

Image
The meaning of CNC is Computer Numerical Control . A CNC machine uses computers to control machine tools. Computer Numerical Control  Machining is the process through which computers control machine-based processes in manufacturing. The kinds of machines controlled include lathes, mills, routers and grinders – all used for manufacturing of metal and plastic products. Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs are combined to control features like feed rate, coordination, location and speed. In this way, the computer can control the cutting and shaping of the materials. This process is suitable for a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, wood, glass, foam, and composites, and finds application in a variety of industries, such as large CNC machining and CNC machining aerospace parts. A program is crafted and loaded into the machine, which is professionally calibrated and then used to create the intended object. In CNC...
