NEW Innovative Mold Coating....Good for 300,000 cycles in most applications!
NanoMoldCoating® is a semi-permanent, two step, self applied, coating that is designed to reduce cycle times, rejects, and maintenance, while improving part quality in injection molding, blow molding, and rubber molding applications.As Seen In Plastics Technology
Rethinking Machine Nozzle Tips: Hybrid Design Boosts Flexibility, Efficiency
New cold-sprue and hot-runner nozzle tips promise utility across a wide range of materials, eliminating the need to swap out different tips for different jobs while also promising to solve scrap and process issues.
Additive Manufacturing Builds Opportunity in Mold Components
Could additive manufacturing help fill a portion of the skills gap at moldmakers and molders and give them more design flexibility?
Conformal Cooling Helps Get Heat Out and Cycle Time Down
Conformally cooled sprue bushings help automotive molder reduce cycle times and injection pressures for a high-volume component.
Mold Cleaner Works Fast
Said to have unmatched effectiveness in removing rust, oxidation, weld discoloration, resin outgassing stains, and other mold buildup without scrubbing.
TOOLING: New Mold Base Sizes, Mold Cleaners, Rust Preventatives
Larger frame sizes, and spray-on mold-maintenance chemicals.
Tooling at NPE: A Hot-Runner Bonanza in Orlando
Most of the emphasis is on valve gating and on doing more in less space. Other highlights include standardized mold components, some impressive feats of moldmaking creativity, and advances in mold simulation.
New Source of Valve Gates
Hydraulic or pneumatic valve-gate designs will soon be added to a new line of hot-runner nozzles that are said to improve heat transfer through the nozzle body and into the tip and minimize heat loss to the mold.
New Hot Runners Improve Tip Heating
A new line of hot-runner nozzles is designed to improve heat transfer through the nozzle body and into the tip without heat losses to the mold.
Mold Designers Put the Web to Work
The internet is redefining the tool-design process. Some mold designers are finding that using the Web to manage a tool project can shorten lead times, cut costs, and make sure vital data get to all participants in a project.
