About Updating Existing Ejector Pins
You may want to update a design change after the ejector pins are assembled. Certain design changes, such as changing the cavity plate thickness or changing the reference model shrinkage require an update to the ejector pin length.
Click EMX Components > Ejector Pin > Update existing ejector pins. The Update Existing Ejector Pins dialog box opens. The dialog box contains a tree table with all assembled ejector pins and the related instances.
The table columns list the following information:
Order number
Quantity
Current length of the pin, which is measured at the time of assembling the ejector pin.
Required length of the pin, which is measured when the Update Existing Ejector Pin dialog box is opened.
The length values are measured for each ejector pin from the selected reference point to the reference surface.
The values are different in case the mold base design has changed in a way that either the reference point or the reference surface has changed their positions.
Status
If the Current Length and the Required Length are different, is displayed.
If the lengths are same, is displayed.
To Update the Ejector Pins
Click Update. For all ejector pins that are designated to be updated, a new instance is selected, which exceeds the Required Length. The Current Length and the Order Number are updated.
