Ampco allows the reduction of the mold wall
difference between fixed part and mobile part.
(from 18.5 to 4.8°C)
Therefore, Ampco allows the reduction of the
warpage of the part in the case of unfilled material.

Steel 940

Ampco allows to reduce deformation problems due to the mold regulation.


In this case, the maximal deformation decreases from 64 mm to 54 mm.
This represents a 15.6% reduction.
