You have taken weeks to get a product design right and when you send sample design out of the machine those designs are incomplete. A "short shot" or under filling as it is also known is the most frustrating of the defects. It consumes costly material, time of expensive machines,
Have you ever created a plastic part that was absolutely perfect on screen, then encountered infinite difficulty during production? A minor mistake in how the part is being molded can result in expensive tooling changes and annoying delays. Learning about the fundamental elements of an injection mold is the first
You modeled a flawless looking part in your CAD tool and when you receive the first sets of production the parts returned are deformed, they have unsightly sink marks and other flaws. It is a frustrating procedure that distorts the aspect and merit of the part, creating re-designing of tools
The mold presents a finished piece of plastic that has defects, which cost you both in time and savings. You end up with reject pile and you are unsure of whether it is the material, the machine itself or the mold that is the problem. Every non-functional component is a
Struggling with slider failures might be a miscalculation of forces. This small error can lead to costly mold damage and production delays, hurting your bottom line and causing major headaches you just don’t need. The simplest way to calculate the required force for a mold slider is to determine the
Are your plastic parts too heavy, costly, or time-consuming to produce? Traditional molding might be holding you back. Imagine lighter, quicker, and more efficient manufacturing. Thin wall injection molding gives you the tools to make it a reality, transforming your production process. Thin wall injection molding is a unique process
Injection pressure in injection molding is a fine balancing act. Too low, and your parts will not fill up correctly, and you’ll be stuck with annoying defects. Too high, and you’ll flash the mold or worse, destroy it, and be confronted with expensive repairs and downtime. This vital parameter is
It is frustrating when your well-crafted injection molded products emerge with defects. These defects are unproductive and pure waste of time, material and money and figuring out the exact root of the problem can sometimes seem like a complicated detective process. Unless you detect and correct the problem, you will
Getting the mold contact just right in injection molding is a real challenge. If there’s too little contact, you end up with defective parts. If there’s too much, you risk damaging your expensive mold or the parts themselves. This balancing act can lead to wasted material, frustrating production delays, and
Designing of complex parts that need both metal strength and versatility of plastics can prove to be a mess actually. The conventional operations of assembling tend to be very expensive, time-consuming as well as unreliable. Probably, you need a more built-in and resistant service. Insert Molding is something that CKMOLD
