Description

APSX-PIM Standard Aluminum Mold Specification & Ordering

  1. Mold Description:
    • Material: 6061 Aluminum
    • Manufacturing: CNC Machined (Spyder CNC)
    • Dimensions: 4.8″ (W) x 6.0″ (H) x 2.0″ (D)
    • Status: Supplied with alignment pins, bushings, mounting bolts, and claws pre-installed.
    • Requirement: Cavities require customer machining.
  2. Mounting Hardware:
    • Left Side: Four (4) shoulder bolts (included).
    • Right Side: Claws (included).
    • Note: Multiple mold orders receive only one set of claws.
  3. Installation & Alignment:
    • Orientation: Mount the mold so its upper side is flush with Block 4’s upper side.
    • Shoulder Bolt Purpose: Intentionally longer to create a small gap between the mold and nozzle plate when unclamped.
    • Cooling Benefit: This gap minimizes heat transfer, keeping the mold cooler. Full contact with the nozzle plate only occurs when fully clamped.
    • Alignment Check Procedure:
      1. Install the mold using the shoulder bolts (left) and claws (right).
      2. Use the machine’s manual control buttons to initiate clamping.
      3. HALT the machine as soon as the mold halves begin to mate.
    • Pin/Bushing Note: Pins and bushings are a tight fit. Do not press by hand; rely on the machine’s clamping force for final seating.
  4. Additional Features:
    • Temperature Sensor Port: Thread size M3 (located on the mold side).
  • Brand APSX
  • Country of origin USA
