Challenge

To create efficient cooling in a 4-cavity mould with small inserts and 9 ejector pins. Reduce cycle time and provide consistent parts to post moulding automated assembly cell 24hr x 6 days/week

Conventional Mould

Limited cooling due to real estate restrictions forced excessive curing time.

Part Details

Material: PPO

Part weight: 15gr (total shot 60gr)

Part size: 90 x 60 x 15mm

Avge wall thickness: 1.50mm

Evaluation

1. Part analysis to determined optimum curing time.
   
2. Mould design analysis to determine cooling design which covers 100% of part geometry.
   
3. Projected cooling time savings 50%
