What is a slider and what is its application?

Slider is a mold component that can slide perpendicular to the direction of mold opening and closing or at an angle to the direction of mold opening and closing during the mold opening and closing action. When the structure of the product makes the mold in the case of not using the slider can not properly release the mold will have to use the slider. The material itself has appropriate hardness, wear resistance, enough to withstand the friction of movement. The hardness of the cavity or core portion of the slide should be of the same level as the rest of the cavity and core. Slider is widely used in spraying equipment, CNC machine tools, machining centers, electronics, automation machinery, textile machinery, automotive, medical equipment, printing machinery, packaging machinery, woodworking machinery, mold molding and many other fields.

The mold is the production of a variety of industrial products is an important process equipment, with the rapid development of the plastics industry, as well as plastic products in the aviation, aerospace, electronics, machinery, ships and automotive and other industrial sectors of the popularization and application, the product requirements of the mold is also higher and higher, the traditional method of mold design has been unable to adapt to today's requirements. Compared with the traditional mold design, computer-aided engineering (CAE) technology, whether in terms of improving productivity, product quality, or in terms of reducing costs and reducing labor intensity, have great superiority.
