What is Mold Alignment?
Mold alignment is the act of aligning the cavity mold plate and the core mold plate in plastic injection moldbases.
Why Should I Care About Mold Alignment?
Alignment of the cavity and core plates are critical to an efficient molding process. The selection of the right type of alignment system depends on several factors including; the shape of the plastic part, the accuracy (or tightness of tolerances) of the plastic part, the resin types and its processing temperature, the weight (size) of the mold, the mold type and the required mold life. DME offers the broadest range of aligning products to meet the requirements of your specific mold design.
