Help!
I am running a substrate that gets overmolded with a tpe... the substrate was previously more rigid and now is floppy and flashes easily in the overmold. (The substrate looks like a book...
Hello,
New mold design with cashew gates and acetal (Delrin 100 NC 010) ....... this sounds like trouble to me with gates breaking.
Has anyone had success with this combo? or just steer clear?...
Much Appreciated Nikom, thx!
Joel
Any luck on this?...... sounds like it's moisture related if you are inconsistent, as another user pointed to. Try to put parts in 3 different "Lots" ... First lot put parts in bags sealed tight,...
Hello gang,
Wanna poll all you guys here, because I am not the expert with mold flows:
I am being asked to approve a gate design based upon a mold flow analysis, and I don't know how...
Hello everyone,
Looking to see what others have done in regards to Process Control / Process Sheets.
Currently, we have a standard process sheet that has all the inputs and outputs of the...

- Moldflow included?
- Warranty on # of shots
- Parts fall freely or must...

Thanks again,
Joel
Well, I voiced my opinion, and the ship has sailed...... let's see how it comes out.
Thanks,
Joel
Hello all,
So I just sampled this new tool and everything looked great..... well.......until we starting noticing a lot of parts with flakes on them, attached at the parting line. (And looking...

Thanks again,
Joel
Thanks everyone for their replies, and confirming my suspicions!.... Much appreciated.

Hello All!
Hope everyone is safe, and productive.
I got a request to review a new mold being built, and the PM would like to use a cashew gate so that no trimming is required, but the material...
Hi,
Yes there are, I am not the expert, but we have a "water" guy come by every, say every 4 months(?), and test our tower water and add chemicals to it .... our water is still murky looking,...
Hello to all!
A new job has come across my desk, a proposed new mold to be built with a hot manifold, direct gated, using acetal... as I have never seen this particular combo, I wanted to see if...
Thanks Rick, ... will investigate your ideas. Joel
OK Thanks Rick.
OK J
The material is pre-colored grey, thx for the feedback!
Joel
OK, thanks everyone for feedback :D

If I understand this, wall thickness is 2.5-3mm and gate is 6mm, so my opinion is that increasing gate size will not help.
