Date Mark Pin Sets for PL Side Exchange (10/11/12 Indication)

These date-mark pin sets are used in injection mold tooling where operators must achieve repeatable, legible date coding on packaged products. In a PL side exchange layout, they integrate into an exchangeable side so the molded characters can be updated or maintained without reworking the entire cavity block.

• Packaging and labeling molds: The fixed 10/11/12 month indication supports consistent date tracking for shelf-life or batch control, while the year 26 setting aligns with standard maintenance cycles.
• Assembly-stable date characters: The press-fit mounting improves retention stability during high-throughput molding, reducing the risk of character drift compared with looser, field-retained inserts.
• Precise arrow mark placement: The variant supports inside arrow only installation, making it suited for molds that require targeted character placement relative to an arrow mark geometry.

Select the 6, 8, or 10 mm outer diameter version to match your cavity/core feature for the intended PL exchange interface.

The provided specifications do not state the steel grade or heat-treatment condition for this pin set. As a result, detailed claims about hardness (HRC), quench & temper, nitriding, or wear-performance trade-offs cannot be confirmed from the input data.

What can be stated from the datasheet parameters is the functional build:

• Press-fit design: Engineered for stable retention in an exchangeable PL side, supporting reliable character formation over repeated molding cycles.
• Component variants: Supports inside arrow only or inside arrow + outside ring configurations, affecting fit and mark geometry rather than documented bulk material properties.

If you need grade-specific guidance (e.g., “H13 equivalent” or expected HRC), request the material certificate or drawing from Axiom Molds so the correct thermal and wear requirements can be verified for your application.

Use the D (outer diameter) value to ensure the pin set matches the mold’s date-mark feature for the PL side exchange module. Available sizes are 6, 8, and 10 mm, and the “applicable date marked outer diameter” is listed as 6, 8, 10 mm—select the version that corresponds exactly to your insert pocket or guide bore.

• Match the molded character interface: Confirm your core/cavity design expects the same outer diameter (6/8/10 mm) for the date mark insert.
• Confirm indication layout: This product includes a fixed month indication (10/11/12) and a fixed year (26); the remaining indication parameters are variable (e.g., day digits), so verify your tooling logic and rotation/selection mechanism.
• Installation compatibility: Choose inside arrow only if your mold uses the inside-arrow mark layout; choose the variant with outside ring only if your cavity geometry provides it.

No tolerance values are included in the input data; therefore, rely on your PL exchange standard and the drawing’s fit requirement for press-fit clearances.
