Facing complex molds with tight tolerances or high heat? Standard locating rings1 might fail, causing misalignment, flash, and costly defects. You need components designed for these tough jobs. CKMOLD provides high-precision2, durable, and often insulated locating rings tailored for challenging projects. These ensure accurate alignment, manage thermal issues, and withstand

Making large, high-quality automotive parts? Standard locating rings might not be tough enough for the heavy molds or precise enough for critical tolerances. Using the wrong one can lead to costly problems. Automotive injection molding often demands locating rings1 with enhanced durability for heavy molds, higher precision for tight part

Pushing cycle times faster? Standard locating rings might struggle under the increased demands of high-speed molding. Wear, heat, and precision become even more critical challenges. Recent developments focus on advanced materials and coatings1 for durability, enhanced precision manufacturing2 for better alignment consistency, improved thermal management (especially insulation), and early concepts

Choosing the wrong locating ring? Misalignment, leaks, and setup headaches follow. Selecting the right one ensures smooth production and prevents costly errors. It’s a critical first step. Selecting the optimal locating ring involves matching its outer diameter to the machine platen, choosing the correct height for nozzle engagement, considering material

Struggling with mold setup times or mysterious plastic leaks? An improperly installed locating ring could be the culprit, causing misalignment and frustration. Getting this simple step right is crucial. Properly installing an injection mold locating ring1 involves meticulously cleaning mating surfaces, correctly orienting the ring, carefully inserting and hand-tightening screws,

Think a slightly off locating ring doesn’t matter? That tiny inaccuracy can cause nozzle leaks, damage expensive molds, and lead to inconsistent parts. Understanding tolerances isn’t just academic; it’s essential for quality. Locating ring tolerances1, especially for the Outer Diameter (OD) and Height, are critical for precise mold alignment. Tight
