mold
What
are the benefits from a mold? This is what every mold
maker has encountered at least once. You have been asked
for an important work to finish within a specific
timeframe. You made a design, build the mold base and
are ready to go when the customer has a sudden design
change. What do you do? Typically, this would mean going
back to square one - costing both time and money to you
and the customer.
However, there is an alternative ending to this
scenario. Imagine that instead of starting over, you
could order a new plate that would fit perfectly with
your existing base. This would decrease not only the
cost, but also the time lost in waiting for the new
materials. From a manufacturer or supplier you can
making bread, ceramic, candy, concrete, plastic,
lollipop moldings.

Yeu Teh feels that there is a growing trend toward
pulling making into the same shop. "What is driving that
is the time-to-market phenomenon? "It's an order of
magnitude change in the expectation of the customer in
terms of delivery. Most of our deliveries occur in the
three- to 12-week range."
For this reason, YTC - which serves many markets - has
been working with a new interchangeable plate system for
its making side of the business. "We use the
interchangeable plates when a customer has more than one
configuration that goes into the same mold base, or when
a change is made late in the cycle or after the tool is
done," says Taylor.
According to YTC, the interchangeable plate system saves
both time and money. "We had a prototype mold that was
machined in solid into the plate itself - as opposed to
having inserts," he says. "However, after the prototype
was built, the customer changed the size of the main
part and wanted a whole new prototype. We bought another
plate and put it in the very same mold base.
YTC is able to do this because its supplier carries an
unusually large inventory in plate sizes and thickness -
ranging from 7 7/8" x 7 7/8" through 19 1/2" x 23 3/4",
which allows for shipping within 24 hours. In addition,
PCS also carries mold bases and plates in the B series.
"The accuracy of its machine tool technology has allowed
coming back after the fact and making plates to fit the
mold bases.?br>
In fact, the system allows mold bases to be assembled
from individual plates with the assurance of a perfect
fit on the exterior of the base - from the matching of
pockets to exterior plate alignment. This allows for
rapid mold base assembly and shipment, as well as the
ability to order new plates from stock that can be
inserted into an existing mold base.
However, in order to use this system effectively, the
mold base must also be, and it has to be within a
certain size series. From a mold manufacturer or
supplier you can making bread, ceramic, candy, concrete,
plastic, lollipop moldings.

"The thing that our customers likes most is that we can
work on the tool here and order the plate.? "They do
the machining work parallel with us, and we meet in the
end to finish the mold. It's a win-win situation."
