Ultra Side-Gate Nozzles

Husky's Ultra side-gate nozzle offers molders the opportunity to horizontally direct gate parts that cannot be effectively gated with a regular nozzle. This direct side-gating method allows for high pro- ductivity at fast cycle times without sacrificing gate quality, while eliminating the need for cold runners.

Easy integration Available in two or four-tip configurations the Husky Ultra side- gate has a small footprint, allowing a minimum gate-to-gate (pitch) spacing of 50 mm (1.97"). Its unique design eliminates the need for split cavities. The result is a hot runner solution that moldmakers can more easily integrate into cold halves. It also requires a smaller machine clamp space providing an optimized and cost-effective solution for the molder.

Leak proof operation UltraSeal® technology at the critical nozzle-to-tip and nozzle- to-manifold interface preloads the components during start-up, which guarantees leak proof operation with a wide operating Ultra side-gate quick guide window. The UltraSeal interface is backed for up to three years with a leak proof guarantee. When combined with an Altanium® hot run- Resins PP and PE ner temperature controller the Husky side-gate solution delivers 30Kpsi Injection pressure Pressure unmatched quality and performance.

Innovative Solutions by Mitsubishi for Die & Mould Machining Toolox 44 helps rev up productivity in the automotive industry

The Challenge A specialist in the manufacture of forged parts for the automotive industry, Krenhof Die & Mould machining mainly states to the machining of complex 3D profiles and in some Schmiedetechnik AG produces its own tools to make batch production parts. The tools are circumstance very deep cavities with precisely mirroring or matching the intended shape. mostly surface engineered to give them the high wear resistance and durability they need. To meet these requirements many of the customers have incorporated the EDM process to achieve the desire shape. EDM Machining process takes more time compared to milling. However, there are some profiles which cannot avoid EDM process. The challenge for Die The challenge & Mould Industry to optimize machining process for hardened materials with CNC Milling is a big task to reduce the total manufacturing time of the mould.
