Mold inserts are widely used in injection mold processing, not only in front mold and rear mold, but also in sliding block and inclined roof. So what is the role of inserts in injection mold processing?
The main purposes are as follows:
1. Saving injection mold manufacturing materials
As we all know, the fixed material of injection mold is regular block steel with fixed shape, but the material of front and rear molds is determined by the height of Z. if a certain place is higher than other places, inserts can be made to reduce the height of the mold.
2. Convenient mold modification
Where the injection mold is often modified, it can be removed and made into inserts. In the future, when the mold is changed, the inserts can be changed, and even when the mold is opened, several more inserts can be replaced, so as to facilitate the modification of the mold.
3. increase the strength of injection mold
When there is a small area of puncture on molded parts such as mold core or slider, in order to increase the strength of the injection mold and improve the service life of the injection mold, the puncture part can be disassembled into inserts to increase the strength of the injection mold.
4. save materials and reduce costs
When the shape of a part on a molded part such as a mold insert or a slider is much higher than other surfaces, or it is not conducive to processing, the mold insert can be removed to save materials and reduce the processing cost. Otherwise, the size will increase when preparing materials, and processing will also take time, resulting in a waste of cost.
5. shorten the manufacturing cycle of injection mold
When there is a deep bone position in the cavity that needs to be processed, it is convenient for processing. It can be disassembled into inserts for processing, which can shorten the processing time of injection mold
