The two-pocket mold is clamped onto an automatic machine that controls the production cycle. The vibration constraint requires:
- A heat treatment to stabilize the welds before machining
- The support surface to be machined to ensure perfect contact between the machine frame and the mold. This constraint, along with the large chassis dimensions, limited the number of potential subcontractors.
The manufactured mold was designed to provide 3 improvements compared to the existing one:
- Reduction of core wear during use
- Halving the production run changeover time (for various product heights)
- Enabling the production of shorter elements if necessary
Significant co-design work between CTVS and the client enabled the proposal of a solution fulfilling the three criteria mentioned.
The mold was assembled with its hydraulic accessories and could be connected directly to the production machine’s circuit.
This new development allowed us to expand our product range to other applications, involving automated machinery in an immediate demolding process.
Immediate / Direct Demolding: Machine-vibrated mold
Simultaneous Production Quantity: 2 pieces per cycle, several cycles per hour
Technical difficulties :
Dimensional tolerance in the order of millimeters
Integration of parts machined using 5-axis CNC, enabling the desired precision of interlocking features to be achieved
Delivery Country: Germany
