Injection mold for the production of test specimens

Specimen tool for material testing and sample parts

The quick-change inserts for the nozzle and ejector side allow different test specimens to be produced one after the other without any time delays. The inserts are connected directly to the temperature control system via quick-release couplings without any loss of water. The mould for producing test specimens is immediately ready for the next injection moulding shot.

Standardized specimens for material testing
Rheological investigations to determine flow path lengths and pressure losses
Impact bending tests
Sample plates for color and haptic presentation
Special inserts for sampling

International Standard Tool - Material testing and specimen production

The test specimen mould of wf plastic consists of three parts to keep the cavity change for different material tests of the plastic as simple as possible. Thanks to the quick coupling system and a weight of 6kg per insert, the inserts can be changed at any time and at quick notice.

Master Tool

The master tool is for the mounting of the interchangeable inserts. The tool inserts are replaced without timedelay. No screws or temperature control hoses have to be disconnected. The change of the inserts lasts only seconds.

Fixed Mold half side insert (mirror plate)

For most test specimens, the nozzle-side interchangeable insert is a mirror plate. The nozzle-side can also be supplied with pressure sensors or temperature sensors on request.

Moving Mold half side insert

The mould nest for the test specimens is accommodated in the exchangeable insert on the closing side. The ejectors are connected directly to the ejector mechanism of the injection moulding machine. The test specimens can thus be produced free-falling for your material tests or removed by robots.

Versions of the specimen tool

The specimen tool offers a tool temperature of 20...180°C and M12 mounting holes as standard. The dimensions as well as other options can be customised if required.

We have a wide range of inserts for your standard specimens, such as tension rods, bending rods, plates or flow spirals, these can be found in our brochure. If required, we can also construct special designs for your material tests.
