There are many different types of Standard Mold bases.  Specific Mold base applications can be  matched to the need of the intended design.  Significant design time, and costs reduction can be realized by applying a properly matched moldbase to the design.

    Selecting the proper type of the Moldbase depends on knowing part; production, ejection, runner, and gate type among other features of the design.

    Each Mold Base will contain Offsets.  Offsets ensure that the mold can only be put together the same, each and every time by the mold maker.
    Typical offsets are:
    1. At the parting line, one of the guide pins and mating guide bushing will be offset.  
    2. Another offset will occur with one of the Return pins.
