Automotive Two-Shot Mold Bases

Automotive two-shot tooling requires the base drawing to describe how the molding stations locate and how the moving or indexing interfaces fit together. Send the selected machine and mechanism interface package with the plate drawings. Lichengda reviews the base machining, registration features and any agreed guide assembly; the quotation identifies purchased systems and functional testing separately.

Drawing-Specific Base Machining

Base machining for automotive two-shot layouts, with station-registration, interface and motion-clearance review.

Supply scope
Plate/feature machining
Interface review
Provide the two-station layout, plate stack, reference positions and the controlled interface package for the selected mechanism. Mark registration features, rotation/indexing clearances, guide bores, stops, mounting details and required inspection datums. Identify supplied components, assembly responsibilities, any required motion/functional checks and remaining work before mold trials.
Overall capacity
Footprint up to 1500×1200 mm; approximately 8 tonnes per set, subject to drawing review

Provide the two-station layout, plate stack, reference positions and the controlled interface package for the selected mechanism. Mark registration features, rotation/indexing clearances, guide bores, stops, mounting details and required inspection datums.

Guide assembly refers to the agreed guide pillar and bushing work. Hot runner systems, hydraulic cylinders, rotation hardware and other purchased mechanisms are not automatically included.

Drawing and Quotation Checklist

  • Provide the two-station layout, plate stack, reference positions and the controlled interface package for the selected mechanism.
  • Mark registration features, rotation/indexing clearances, guide bores, stops, mounting details and required inspection datums.
  • Identify supplied components, assembly responsibilities, any required motion/functional checks and remaining work before mold trials.

Include quantity, drawing revision, required inspection documents and delivery destination. Single-piece and small-batch inquiries are accepted.

Machining and Interface Review

Station registration
Define the first/second-station reference positions, locating features and required relationships in a shared datum scheme.
Motion envelope
Show the selected mechanism, motion path and required clearances on controlled interface drawings.
Guides and mounting
Provide matching guide, stop, support and machine-mounting requirements. Confirm the material and condition for each plate.
Supplied systems and tests
List rotation/indexing hardware, guide assembly and functional checks separately so their supply and acceptance can be agreed.

Inspection and Production Planning

Dimensional and CMM reports are available for agreed datums and critical features. The drawing review confirms the applicable tolerances, measurement method and acceptance scope. Overall mold-base capacity is up to 1500×1200 mm footprint and approximately 8 tonnes per set, with height, geometry, access and handling reviewed separately.

Production schedule: 7–15 working days; large or complex projects 15–25 working days. Working days exclude weekends and statutory public holidays in China. The clock starts on the next working day after formal PO receipt, final drawing/specification approval and applicable deposit receipt are all completed. Transport time is separate.

Automotive Two-Shot Mold Bases Questions

What makes a two-shot automotive mold base quotation different?

The drawing package must define station registration and the selected moving/indexing interfaces as well as the normal plate stack, material, features and inspection requirements.

Is a rotary table or indexing system included with the base?

These are not automatically included. Identify the selected mechanism and interface drawings; any purchased hardware, installation or functional testing must be expressly listed in the quotation.

Can two-shot mold base registration features be inspected?

Mark the relevant locating bores, datums and station-to-station relationships on the controlled drawing. Dimensional/CMM reports can cover the agreed features; functional checks are a separate agreed scope.

Does the structural reference photograph define the supplied two-shot configuration?

No. The photograph is a credited structural example. The approved drawing and quotation define the actual two-shot layout, materials, supplied components and acceptance requirements.
