QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE HTS Edge Gate Manifolds
D-M-E Introduces World-Class Micromolding Hot Runner Systems for Edge Gating Applications HTS edge gating systems are naturally balanced and perform well in the most challenging micromolding situations, including electrical/electronic, transportation, medical, health care, agricultural and industrial applications. HTS edge gate manifolds are pre-engineered for 2x2 through 2x16 layouts. Operation is extremely simple and up to 32 cavities can be molded with only two control zones. A sealed edge gate design allows for processing engineered resins and rapid color changes.

1) For all manifolds with an OAL = 130.0mm/5.12in, use standard gate detail shown in Fig. 11 for all gate positions. 2) For all manifolds with an OAL = 200.0mm/7.87in, 250.0mm/9.84in and 300.0mm/11.81in, use standard gate shown in Fig. 11 only for gate locations that are 40.00mm/1.575in or less from the center of the manifold. For all gate postions that are more than 40.00mm/1.575in from the center of the manifold, use the slotted gate detail shown in Fig. 12. Please note that in this case, all gates could be slotted. NOTES: ♦ The gate diameter is to be opened to suit. ♦ The minimum gate diameters that are possible are as follows: RESIN TYPE Unfilled
MIN GATE Ø 0.71mm/0.028in
Glass filled
1.00mm/0.039in
♦ The land shown in Figs. 13 and 14 may be reduced to a sharp edge, if necessary,
to minimize vestige height, resin drool or stringing. ♦ Maximum part weight (per gate) recommended:
15.0 grams/0.05 ounces

If there is a need to slot differently than Fig. 12, a minimum of 0.127mm/0.005in of clearance between the side of the tip and the land should be maintained in both cold and hot conditions. This is based on using a land of 0.20mm/0.008in and calculating the exact position of the tip in hot and cold position for each gate.
