Locating Pins: Precision Components for Injection Molding

Locating pins are essential components in injection molds, designed to ensure precise alignment and positioning of mold halves, inserts, and other elements during assembly and operation. By maintaining exact placement, these pins prevent misalignment, minimize wear, and improve the quality of molded parts.
 
Our locating pins are engineered with exceptional precision, durability, and compatibility, making them ideal for industries such as automotive, electronics, medical devices, and consumer goods.

Key Functions

✔️ Provides precise positioning for mold halves or inserts.
✔️ Prevents misalignment to eliminate defects and protect the mold.
✔️ Reduces stress on components, extending mold life.
✔️ Supports high-speed, high-volume production with dependable performance.

Processing Materials

Our locating pins are crafted with features to meet the demanding needs of injection molding.

Tool Steel

  • A versatile, pre-hardened steel with excellent machinability and consistent hardness.

Stainless Steel

  • Corrosion-resistant, ideal for molds exposed to moisture or corrosive materials.

Hot Work Steel

  • Perfect for high-temperature settings, offering outstanding toughness and heat resistance.

Rapid Prototyping

Fecision offers rapid prototyping for mold components, enabling customers to test and refine designs quickly before moving into full production.

End-to-End Services

From initial design and DFM (Design for Manufacturability) analysis to final mold assembly and testing, Fecision handles every aspect of the mold component manufacturing process.

Process for Manufacturing Mold Components

The process of making a mold component involves several stages, from design to manufacturing and finishing.
The specific steps can vary depending on the type of mold component being created, but the general steps remain consistent across most types of mold components.
 

Manufacturability Evaluation

The initial step involves assessing the manufacturablity of the mold component. If it's deemed feasible, we proceed with production immediately. If not, we will provide a detailed DFM (Design for Manufacturability) report to the customer. If necessary, mold flow analysis is performed to simulate the flow of molten material within the mold.

Material Selection

Next, choose the right material for mold parts. Common materials for mold components include steel alloys, aluminum, stainless steel, specialty alloys, etc. If needed, a prototype may be made using rapid prototyping techniques (e.g., 3D printing, CNC machining) to test the design for fit, function, and manufacturability.

Mold Components Manufacturing

Once the design and materials are finalized, the mold component undergoes CNC machining. If required, the mold component may undergo heat treatment, depending on the material and intended application. For certain components, surface hardening methods such as nitriding or carburizing are applied to increase wear resistance.

Shipping

For molds with multiple components, such as multi-cavity molds or molds with inserts, the individual components are carefully assembled into the final mold system. Once our engineers confirm the product meets all requirements, it will be shipped. We maintain ongoing communication to ensure the customer is fully satisfied with the product they receive.
