Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
DEF

A very thin rectangular gate with a length being only a part of the width of the moulding.

CONT

In thermoplastic molding, it is sometimes necessary for the gate to impinge upon a wall. This distributes the material move evenly and improves surface conditions. If walls are not available, a rectangular tab is milled into the piece and the gate is attached there. This is called a tab gate.

OBS

tab gate: term and definition standardized by ISO [International Organization for Standardization].

DEF

A very thin rectangular gate with a length equal to the width of the moulding, situated in the mating surface of a mould.

CONT

Edge gating is the most common. It can be of the large or the restricted type. If the edge gate is spread out, it is called a fan gate. If the gate is extended for a considerable length of the piece and connected by a thin section of plastic, it is called a flash gate. In thermoplastic molding, it is sometimes necessary for the gate to impinge upon a wall. This distributes the material move evenly and improves surface conditions. If walls are not available, a rectangular tab is milled into the piece and the gate is attached there. This is called a tab gate.
