Description

Unscrewing molds for threaded caps

A threaded cap cannot simply be pushed off its core: a full, deep thread would be damaged or the part would deform. This PA66 cap is released by an unscrewing mold, in which the threaded core rotates out of the part before ejection. The result is a complete, accurate thread that seals properly on its mating part.

Tool construction

  • Two cavities in DIN 1.2344, a hot-work steel suitable for hardening and long runs.
  • HASCO standard base, cold runner.
  • Rotating threaded cores driven through a gear train; the cavity side holds the part with anti-rotation features so it does not turn with the core.
  • Core and gear components machined and fitted to tight tolerances so the thread pitch and start position are repeatable.

Cylinder or motor drive?

Unscrewing can be driven by a hydraulic cylinder with a rack, or by a hydraulic or electric motor. A cylinder drive gives an exact start and end of rotation and is easy to control, but it needs more space. A motor drive is compact but harder to stop at an exact position because of inertia. We choose the drive based on thread length, cavity count and the press the mold will run on.

Every unscrewing mold is run on our presses at T1 so the thread, sealing face and cycle are proven before shipment.
