The simplest form of a mold is a single face mold. A
mold level, or face, is defined as the parting line
dividing the core and cavity sides of a tool. The more
cavities per face increase the number of parts per
cycle, thus increasing the productivity of a
mold/machine system. The number of cavities on each face
is driven by either machine tonnage or tie bar spacing
availability. Mold ejection functions are usually tied
to the machine’s knockout functions, and/or combined
with machine logic functions (if two or more ejection
stages, or simply air eject).
BENEFITS
Convertibility optional design to two or more
levels
Applicable to any product type market application
StackTeck’s cascade approach allows for
pre-engineered convertible molds with 1, 2 or 3
opening faces to be
converted to a greater number of
opening faces, should
future part volume increase.
