T0601-gate insert

The gate insert, made from GS344ESR material, is a smart and practical design solution for production molds, particularly in high-volume manufacturing. Over time, the gate area of a mold is subject to wear due to the high injection pressures and friction caused by the flow of plastic. By incorporating a gate insert, manufacturers can address this issue effectively. The gate insert acts as a replaceable component, allowing the worn insert to be swapped out with a new one when necessary, without the need to replace the entire mold. This design not only extends the life of the mold but also reduces maintenance costs and downtime, making it an ideal solution for long-term production runs.
