In plastic injection moulds, geometric complexity often presents challenges in positioning, alignment and wear that require more than conventional solutions.
Floating inserts are an example of how a well-designed mechanical solution can address these demands. By allowing controlled, limited movement, they help to:
→ improve the performance of specific areas of the mould;
→ reduce contact forces;
→ increase the durability of critical surfaces, particularly in complex geometries and shut-off areas.
Their application requires a thorough assessment of movements, tolerances, injection forces, and guiding and locking mechanisms to ensure consistent performance throughout production cycles.
At Molde Matos, S.A., this is our approach: transforming technical challenges into engineering solutions, from geometry analysis and mechanism design to machining, assembly and validation. Each solution is developed to meet the specific requirements of every project. With 58 years of experience in the development and manufacture of injection moulds, we handle projects ranging from 30 kg to 32 tonnes.
Do you have a project involving complex geometries or an ejection process requiring a specific sequence of movements?
