Thickness
This parameter box includes the thickness for each standard plate. The plates are numbered from 1 to 9 and a graphic help is available (See Parameters), in order to see the position of each plate. The scroll buttons on the right-hand side of each thickness enables you to choose different standard sizes from the catalogue. When in the Non-Standard mode you may key-in a value for the plate thickness, which will result in the creation of a non-standard mold base. Extra non-scrollable parameters SA and SB define the space between the main plates, i.e. Plate 2 and Plate 3 and the parting plane.
