Solid-Bronze Gib-Assemblies |
| Custom
Mold Slide |
 |
| A solid-bronze gib assembly in a mold can enable the molding of complex parts.
The L-gibs and base plate provide a low friction surface for guiding the slide's
movements. In operation, the angle-pin and heel-block push the slide to the left to close
the molding cavity when the mold is closed. When the mold is opened, the angle-pin pulls
the slide away from the molded part enabling part ejection. The gib assembly can be
installed in a milled cavity in the mold base. The end of the slide can be machined as
need to form contours in the molded part. Grease fittings or other lubrication means
should be provided for these gib assemblies. |

| Cam
Forming Die |
 |
A solid-bronze gib assembly in a stamping die can form a
sheet-metal part. The L-gibs and base plate provide low friction surfaces for guiding the
slide's movements. In operation, the cam-driver pushes the slide toward the anvil to wrap
the sheet metal under the anvil when the die is closed. When the die is opened, the
return-spring pushes the slide away from the anvil enabling part ejection. The gib
assembly can be installed in a milled cavity in the die shoe. The end of the slide can be
machined to form the sheet-metal part. Grease fittings or other lubrication means should
be provided for these gib assemblies. |
