Temperature, insert (bottom) result

The Temperature, insert (bottom) result shows the temperature of the mold surface in the area in contact with the insert in your cooling design.

Note: Results will not be displayed for the element(s) of the insert in contact with the plastic.

Using this result

An insert will only assist heat transfer if a cooling channel is located in or near the insert. Use this result to find localized hot or cold spots on the insert surfaces. A large difference in temperature between insert and mold may mean that heat cannot be extracted efficiently from the insert.

The difference between the temperature across the top or bottom face of any insert surface should not be greater than ±10°C (18°F).

Things to look for

When viewing the insert bottom temperature, look at the following results to check for localized hot spots:

• Temperature, insert (top)
• Temperature difference, insert
