The Expandable Cavity (EX-CAV) simplifies design and cuts costs to reliably mold and release external profiles on circular plastic parts. The product is ideal for parts such as bottle caps, threads, snap rings, barbs, convex grooves, protrusions, logo details, etc. Expandable Cavities eliminate the need for traditional slide action assemblies, thereby allowing higher cavitation within the same mold footprint to increase productivity. Depending on the part configuration, the Expandable Cavity’s striker insert can be used in the “A” or “B” side of the mold.
1) Expandable Cavities with an “A” side striker insert mold the complete part, enabling details such as an outer thread or a snap
ring to be released from the mold.
2) Expandable Cavities with a “B” side striker insert are for part configurations where undercuts such as barbs and protrusions
are located under the part surface.
