Profile: Abspi Industrial Co., Ltd specializes in providing plastic injection molding and injection molds. Molds using pin-point gate system are often called three-plate molds. Runners and gates are designed such that they are located on different parting lines. Product is released from one parting face whilst the runner is released from another parting face next to the stripper plate. Due to the extra stripper plate and different open/close mechanism, mold design is generally more complicated, resulting in higher tooling cost & lead time. Molds using three plate type system are often called three-plate molds. In terms of functions, three plate type system is similar to pin-point gate system, with runners and gates located on different parting lines. Therefore, product and gates are released on seperate parting faces. The advantages are similar to that of pin-point gate system. The less complex mold base structure permits greater flexibility in mold design, and in general lower tooling cost.
