Mold Base

Standard and custom mold bases, machined to ±0.005 mm with leader pins, bushings, pockets and hot-runner integration.

OVERVIEW

The foundation every good tool is built on.

LKM, DME and HASCO standard bases plus fully custom plate sets.

±0.005 mm

Machining tolerance

2–4 wk

Typical lead time

2,500 mm

Max plate length

LKM/DME

Standards

A mold base is not a commodity when the cavity tolerances are tight. We machine, stress-relieve and inspect every plate as if the whole tool depends on it — because it does.

We supply standard and custom bases in S50C, 45#, P20, 718H, NAK80 and S136, with CNC pocketing, water lines, ejector holes, leader-pin bores and hot-runner manifold pockets. Flatness, parallelism and bore tolerances are measured and recorded before assembly.

Bases can be delivered as loose plate sets, semi-assembled or fully assembled with leader pins, bushings, return pins, springs and eye bolts. We work to LKM, DME, HASCO or your own drawing standard.

✓ Stress-relieved plate stock

✓ Flatness and parallelism reports

✓ H7 leader-pin and bushing bores

✓ Hot-runner and water-line integration

CAPABILITIES

What we deliver

Practical capabilities, matched to the tooling and the production volume — not a generic menu.

01

Custom mold bases

Plate sets machined to your drawing, with pockets, bores and water circuits.

02

Standard bases

LKM, DME and HASCO configurations, modified to suit the cavity layout.

03

Plate machining

CNC milling, deep-hole drilling, boring, tapping and precision grinding.

04

Hot-runner integration

Manifold pockets, drop bores, wiring channels and junction-box mounting.

05

Flatness & parallelism

Measured on granite with documented flatness and parallelism to 0.01 mm.

06

Assembly & hardware

Leader pins, bushings, return pins, springs, eye bolts and lift straps.

PROCESS

How the project runs

A named project manager, weekly reporting and documented sign-off at each stage.

01

Drawing review

Check plate sizes, pocket depths, bore positions and interference.

02

Machining

CNC milling, drilling, boring, tapping and grinding under one roof.

03

Inspection

Flatness, parallelism, bore diameter and position reported.

04

Assembly & packing

Hardware fitment, rust prevention and export packing.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can you machine a base to our own drawing?

Yes. Send a 3D model or 2D drawing with material, plate sizes, pocket and bore details. We will confirm feasibility and quote.

Do you supply standard LKM or DME bases?

Yes. We can supply standard configurations or modify them for your cavity layout, hot runner and ejector system.

What is the typical lead time?

Simple bases are typically 2–3 weeks; complex bases with hot-runner pockets and many bores are 3–4 weeks, depending on material availability.

Can you assemble the base with hardware?

Yes. Leader pins, bushings, return pins, springs and eye bolts can be fitted and checked before shipment.
