Smart Molding International 2-2023

27 www.smart-molding.com molds and tooling deliver precise and repeatable processing capabilities that enhance part quality. The nozzles incorporate individual nozzle heaters for individual temperature control. The nozzle heaters are also field-replaceable for quick and easy maintenance. The threaded nozzle base provides integrated leak protection. AXIOM’s independent temperature control provides a wider processing window, faster start-up time and superior reliability compared to the outdated heater-less heat-pipe nozzles that are common in the industry. New Industry Standard Gate Seals The gate-seal design seals on the face of the cavity and is compatible with industry standard cut-outs. This allows the AXIOM TG to easily retrofit into many existing molds. The new gate seal features an easy-to-replace slip-fit insert liner and threaded gate- seal tip. The advanced thermal gate design reduces crystallinity in the gate and prevents stringing over a wide processing- temperature range. AXIOM TG (Thermal Gate) has been created to compliment Mold-Masters’ existing AXIOM VG (Valve Gate) system by offering a new economic option for molders who prefer the simplicity of thermal gates over valve gates and desire a higher level of thermal-gate performance over the limited options available on the market today. AXIOM VG has been a proven solution in single-stage applications for more than ten years.
