16. Component Analysis
Lug
The component has two lugs
projecting from the inner wall
of the component.
These create an internal
undercut in the mould.
This necessitates the split core
design.
Parting surface is in a single
plane as shown in the fig.

17. Injection & Ejection Type
Injection
As it is a single cavity mould, a direct sprue gate is adopted
for material feeding.
Ejection
As it is split core design, pin or any other type of ejection is
not possible.
The initial ejection movement is by the movement of the
cores.
The final ejection of the component from the cores is by a jet
of compressed air.
