AI Technical Summary
Hot runner systems with close-pitch nozzle spacing and micro molding applications face challenges due to increased minimum space between adjacent nozzles and side loading issues, which are not suited for industry-standard gate locations in parts requiring multiple gates and well-plates.
A hot runner system design featuring a manifold with a heater, nozzles with extension portions and supports, and a bracing component that allows for lateral fixation and thermal expansion, minimizing tipping forces and maintaining sealing integrity through conductive heat transfer and fluid seals.
The system effectively accommodates close-pitch and micro molding applications by reducing nozzle tipping and maintaining sealing integrity, ensuring consistent material delivery to mold cavities.
