Date Mark Pin Sets for PL Side Exchange Outer Corner Tapered

This date marking pin set is used in injection mold tooling where molded products require durable year/month/day traceability with repeatable alignment during cycle operation. The PL side exchange approach supports efficient tooling reconfiguration, making it well-suited for production lines that change marking content without extensive disassembly.

• Automotive and industrial components: concave character formatting and the press-fit mounting help maintain stable positioning in core/cavity inserts, reducing the risk of drift that can blur date prints.
• Consumer packaging and labeling-embedded parts: the month is fixed at 10/11/12, ensuring consistent marketing/date-legibility requirements while allowing selectable year formatting.
• High-mix manufacturing cells: the outer corner tapered ring guides assembly at exchange interfaces, improving repeatability when switching the PL side exchange set.

With outer-ring taper geometry and press-fit mounting, this variant is particularly suited for molds that demand quick, reliable date reconfiguration and clean character definition.

The provided product data does not specify a steel grade, heat treatment state (e.g., quenched & tempered, nitrided), or hardness value (HRC). Therefore, material-related performance claims such as wear resistance or toughness trade-offs cannot be accurately stated from the current specifications.

In general practice for date/recycle mark pins, engineers select tool steels based on required cycle life and surface contact conditions. When multiple materials are offered for similar pin sets, the common comparison is between high-hardness tool steels (better wear resistance, potentially lower toughness) and more impact-tolerant grades (better toughness, sometimes lower wear resistance).

• Confirm the actual supplier-provided steel grade for 110200166440 before finalizing cycle-life assumptions.
• Verify the heat treatment and any surface treatment requirements to ensure character edges maintain definition under repeated mold opening/closing.

Selection is primarily driven by the required indication mark style and the pin outer diameter (D). This series supports indication mark variants including Year/Month, Month, Day (1st digit / 10th digit), and year formats for up to 6 years or 4 years. Month indication is fixed at 10/11/12, while the year value is fixed at 26 per the configuration.

• Choose D (outer diameter): select from 4 ~ 16 mm to match the corresponding bore or pocket size in the core/cavity side for the press-fit interface.
• Arrow mark depth: pick Default or Shallow to match visual depth requirements and part legibility constraints.

For press-fit mounting, ensure the pin D is compatible with the receiving feature diameter and housing tolerance band. If you have cavity/core drawings, match the pin outer diameter D to the designed press-fit bore size, accounting for assembly interference and any allowable variation to prevent misalignment at the outer corner tapered ring.
