Mounting of Moulds on Injection Moulding Machines

Mounting of Moulds on Injection Moulding Machines:
This description is valid for all injection moulding machines and ‚standard moulds’. Special moulds can possibly need a special procedure deviating from this description, but this must be made known ex-pressly by the mould manufacturer. In all other cases it must be proceeded according to this description.  In order to be able to operate a mould as ideal and wear-free as possible, both mould halves must be mounted best possibly concentrically to each other. The present description is a guideline, it shall ensure a repeatable ideal mounting also by differently trained personnel.  Each displacement of the two mould halves to each other leads to increased wear on the guides and in further sequence often also on the inserts and cores. As in the vertical plane the gravitational force acts, specially the height displacement of the mould halves must be observed. As guide value a displacement of less than 0.05 mm should be striven for. From 0.1 mm usually already knocking noises at the immer-sion of the guides can be heard and wear on the guide columns becomes apparent.
