This section introduces our KH Plates, which are high-quality steel plates specifically designed for mould bases. This product group covers plates ready for assembly into mould base. These plates are manufactured using prime-grade steel, typically C 45, to meet standard mould base requirements. However, for projects demanding exceptional performance, we can provide plates and complete mould bases made from higher-grade steel options. All edges are also machined and surface ground. All plates are then finished with operation on a precision CNC machine –‘Deckel-Maho’ imported from Germany or similar. The plates are fully inspected before dispatch.

The KH Plate program is a one-stop shop for all your mould base plate needs. It offers a wide variety of square, rectangular, flat, round, and ring-shaped plates in various sizes. These plates serve as the foundation for your mould base. To further customize and complete your mould base, the KH program is complemented by the SN product group. SN offers a comprehensive selection of parts, components, and accessories that work seamlessly with KH plates. The KH program itself boasts an impressive size range, catering to mould bases as small as 95 x 95 to 796 x 996 are available.

The KH Plate program prioritizes functionality by using C45 steel, a reliable material that fulfils the typical demands of a mould base. This keeps costs manageable. However, if your project has unique needs, we can provide complete mould bases or specific plates crafted from higher-grade steel for enhanced performance.

By specifying standard thicknesses, bore sizes, and tapping dimensions, we can effectively utilize standardized components like locating guide pillars and bushes from our SN range (details provided in respective sections).

We've created a table outlining various plate thickness options. Encouraging your design team to select mould base sizes and plate thicknesses from this table will gradually increase the demand for standard mould bases, leading to improved availability and faster production times.

The PP Plate program offers high-quality, pre-machined and ground plates without holes. These standardized plates come in various sizes and thicknesses, with the maximum dimension reaching a substantial 796 x 996 mm. This ensures consistent quality and fast turnaround times.

However, the program understands the need for customization. If you require holes on the plates, you can opt for the complementary PP Plate option. Simply provide your drawings, and we'll handle the boring and tapping. Combine these modified plates with the versatile accessories from the SN group, and you have the freedom to create a mould-base that perfectly meets your specific needs. This system provides the perfect balance: standardized production on for efficiency and quality, alongside the flexibility for designers to personalize their creations.

The PP Plate program goes beyond just standardized components. It empowers mould makers with the freedom to create custom designs through the complementary PP Plate program. PP Plates, available in the same variety of shapes (square, rectangle, flat, round, ring) as KH Plates, allow you to specify hole locations and tappings based on your unique requirements. This flexibility, coupled with the extensive selection of SN group accessories, streamlines the mould base building process, enabling faster project completion.

But the benefits extend beyond moulds. PP Plates find application in various engineering fields, including jigs, fixtures, and even the construction of specialized machinery. This program consistently saves time and labour across numerous industries.

For temporary applications like fixtures, the program offers a cost-effective option with "M" prefixed machined plates, eliminating unnecessary grinding processes.

The SN Group, an integral part of the Normalien system, provides a comprehensive library of standardized components and accessories specifically designed. This program caters to a wide array of parts regularly used in mould making. From Locating Guide Pillars and Bushes to Locating Units (both flat and round), Ejector Pins, Locating Rings, and Lifting Devices, the SN Group has you covered. Each component comes in various sizes and dimensions. To further enhance your design process, By leveraging these standardized parts, you can significantly reduce design time and associated costs. This frees up valuable resources so you can focus on other crucial aspects of your project.

The SN Group prioritizes quality and performance. Each component is crafted from high-grade steel specifically chosen to match its intended use. This ensures optimal functionality and durability. For instance, high-grade case hardening steel might be used for components requiring exceptional wear resistance, while ball bearing steel provides smooth, precise movement. Hot die steel tackles high-temperature applications, while HCHC and cold working steels excel in specific demanding environments. To empower informed decision-making, most SN Group parts clearly indicate the type of steel used, its tensile strength, and hardness rating.

Furthermore, for seamless project planning and procurement, Normalien offers detailed dimension sheets for each SN product. These comprehensive resources readily outline the standardized sizes readily available from stock. To obtain a dimension sheet, simply visit our website (www.normalientooling.com) and fill out a request form. This eliminates the need for time-consuming dimension searches and ensures you have all the information required to swiftly acquire the perfect SN Group components for your project.
