Mold pressure plate is a common auxiliary tool in the injection molding industry.Its shapes and functions are different and can meet many mold installation needs.
Haichen lists the types of injection mold pressure plates from multiple dimensions in terms of shape, function, material and application scenarios:
Classification by shape
- Arched pressure plate
- Arched/arc-shaped pressure plate
- Parallel pressure plate
- Bridge pressure plate
- F-type/yuanbao-shaped pressure plate
Arched pressure plate
It has an arched structure and is suitable for mold fixation of injection molding machines, engraving machines and other machine tools. Common specifications include M12, M16, M20, etc.
Arched/arc-shaped pressure plate
Such as stepless arched pressure plate and arc-shaped arched pressure plate, which are often used for clamping complex molds and support fast mold change systems.
Parallel pressure plate
Plane design, using for uniform pressure distribution of equipment such as punching machines and milling machines, and the material is mostly quenched forging or hardened steel.
Bridge pressure plate
The structure is similar to a bridge and is suitable for fixing heavy molds, such as injection molding machine die-casting machine accessories.
F-type/yuanbao-shaped pressure plate
Special shape design, used for clamping specific molds, such as wear-resistant block guide sleeves of plastic molds.
Classification by function
- Adjustable pressure plate
- Hardened pressure plate
- Hydraulic locking pressure plate
- Combination pressure block
Adjustable pressure plate
Supports height or angle adjustment, such as Dongbo adjustable pressure plate, M12-M30 adjustable code clamp, suitable for different thickness mold adaptation.
Hardened pressure plate
After quenching or precision forging process, wear resistance is improved, such as unified hardened precision forging pressure plate, cast steel heavy pressure plate.
Hydraulic locking pressure plate
Integrated hydraulic system to achieve fast mold change and automatic locking, such as hydraulic code, hydraulic chuck.
Combination pressure block
Such as the M10-M30 combination pressure block of the Luomen brand, supports modular assembly and high flexibility.
Classification by material
- Cast steel pressure plate
- Precision forging pressure plate
- Quenching platen
Cast steel pressure plate
Suitable for heavy molds, such as cast steel parallel pressure plate, high strength but high cost.
Precision forging pressure plate
Improve structural density through precision forging, such as precision forging mold code clamp, excellent durability.
Quenching platen
The surface is quenched to improve the hardness, such as Dongbo quenching platen, which is suitable for high-load scenarios.
Special application types
- Quick mold change platen
- Mold clamp/mold coder
- Insulation platen
Quick mold change platen
Combined with automatic hydraulic system, it shortens the mold change time, such as the locking platen of the quick mold change system.
Mold clamp/mold coder
Used for rapid positioning and fixing of injection molding machine molds, such as the bow-shaped mold clamp of Zhu’s/Guan’s brand.
Insulation platen
Such as the high-hardness insulation cloth platen in the cold punching plate, it is resistant to high temperature and insulated, suitable for special processing environments.
Brands and specifications
- Mainstream brands
- Specification range
Mainstream brands
Haichen ,Dongbo, Luomen, Taixingrun, etc. provide diversified platens, such as Dongbo HC platen and Luomen combined block.
Specification range
Covering M10 to M36, meeting the needs of different machine tool models, some support customized thickening or hardening.
In summary, the selection of injection mold platens needs to be combined with mold structure, processing conditions and cost-effectiveness.
Different types of platens have different focuses on shape adaptability, durability and functionality.
