Standard Mold Components New Capabilities, with Economies in Mind, While Delivering Convenience

Have you found yourself asking this statement? “Are our molds too big for standard product portfolios?” 
Standardization of mold base, mold plates and components have the advantage of ordering quickly and economically off the shelf items. 
Mold designers and mold builders can use this standardization concept further with the many components required to make even the larger molds. 
The standards will free up more time and money for other machining requirements within the mold build. 

Primary Topics: 
- Standard components for mold assemblies. 
- When space is valuable, standard components come to the rescue. 
- Standard components for large mold assemblies. 
- Plate sequencing and core movement with standard components.
