A mold is automated by use of a slide and cam to remove the tool from the undercut in the part. Once the slide that forms the undercut is out of the way, the mold is free to open and eject the part. Tool automation is very expensive and time consuming to design, however, when annual volumes and production rates are high, the cost is easily absorbed because of a much lower per piece price. Our quote engine and engineers will decide what the most cost-effective approach is for your project.
