Abstract:
A multi-material runner gate system allows effective de-gating of elastomeric materials that would otherwise stretch and/or flex reducing de-gating forces at the gate upon separation of the molds.
A loader plate attaches to a cliche used in transfer pad printing to provide an extension surface from which a sealed paint pod may be introduced to the cliche allowing the cliche to remain in registered position while transferring paint pods. A magnet system allows simple clamping of the loader plate to the cliche to simplify operation by a single user.
