The "guide post" in the mold is also called "guide post", and its role is to guide. The role of the mold guide device is to guide the upper mold and the lower mold to match in the correct position. The most common guide device is the guide post and guide sleeve. In addition, a large mold may be equipped with a guide plate, and a micro die may be provided with a guide tube, which has the same function as the guide post and guide sleeve. The guide post is the fixing function of the male and female molds. It is a guide element that ensures that the mold can move and guide the mold stroke with precise positioning.
