Injection
Mould Tools
Carr’s
have been welding and repairing tools for 14 years, and have a
good grounding in the steels used, and why they wear out as well
as, what to do about it.
| Impact
Damage |
A
snapped ejector pin or trapped moulding can cause havoc on
a tool if it closes up again on full pressure.
Carr’s laser weld damaged area’s on tools, with
a similar steel.
Tools can then be re-machined, or if only slight
damage, hand working at Carr’s can complete the repair. |
| Gas
Erosion |
The
gases that are present with some plastic materials can be
very damaging to tool edges.
A flame retardant plastic can erode the edge of a
P20 tool in one run.
Carr’s have to burn off (usually with the laser)
the eroded areas, then restore them for re-machining.
Sometimes a more resistant steel can be added for
extended tool life, dependant on the application. |
