After designingPrecision surface grinding in plastic injection mold making is essential in order to produce high quality, high volume molds. Despite the fact that hard machining and WEDM have replaced grinding in many aspects, the need for accurate, detailed grinding remains.

Consider that, from beginning to end, nearly every mold component must be ground. The list could include every plate in the mold base, sprue bushing, leader pins and bushings, core and cavity plates, inserts, lifters, slides, gibs, wear plates, ejector pins, core pins, date wheels and much more.

The surface grinding department in a moldmaking shop is fundamental for the overall success of any injection mold making operation. From beginning to end, the grinding process provides squareness, a high level of accuracy and superior surface finish.

Investing in quality grinders and the necessary accessories is critical to the success of the entire shop. Time spent training personnel is essential in order to achieve the dimensional consistency required for high production injection molds
