Mammography Machine Plastic Paddle Support Frame Mould and Moulding Service | Renovator Appliances Ltd

Product Overview

Renovator Appliances Ltd manufactures precision Plastic Injection Moulds and provides injection moulding solutions for Mammography Machine Plastic Paddle Support Frame components used in designated mammography compression-paddle assemblies. The support frame provides structural support and an attachment interface for the compression paddle and associated positioning mechanism.

The mould is developed according to the required frame dimensions, paddle mounting arrangement, structural geometry, load requirements, positioning features, wall thickness, reinforcement requirements, and surrounding assembly clearances. The frame can be customized with mounting bosses, locating features, reinforcing ribs, guide sections, clips, screw holes, pivot interfaces, and other product-specific details.

Industrial Applications

Manufacturing Process

1. Product Design & Development

The Mammography Machine Plastic Paddle Support Frame is developed according to the customer's CAD drawing, 3D model, physical sample, compression assembly, or equipment specifications. The design is reviewed for frame dimensions, paddle mounting points, expected mechanical load, movement range, wall thickness, reinforcement requirements, and clearance from surrounding components.

The frame geometry is coordinated with the compression paddle and its positioning mechanism to maintain accurate alignment during assembly and operation.

2. Plastic Mould Design

The injection mould is designed around the support-frame geometry and its functional mounting features. Suitable parting lines, draft angles, gate locations, cooling channels, ejector arrangements, cores, inserts, and shrinkage allowances are incorporated.

Mounting bosses, screw holes, locating ribs, guide features, pivot interfaces, retaining clips, and reinforcing sections are integrated according to the complete assembly. Mould-flow and cooling considerations help reduce warpage and dimensional variation.

3. Mould Manufacturing

Mould components are manufactured using suitable mould steels such as P20 Steel, H13 Steel, or S136 Steel, depending on production volume, expected mould life, selected plastic material, surface-finish requirements, and component complexity.

CNC machining, EDM, drilling, grinding, polishing, precision fitting, and mould assembly are used to achieve accurate cavity geometry and dimensional consistency.

4. Injection Moulding

The selected plastic material is processed under controlled injection moulding conditions. Injection temperature, filling speed, pressure, holding pressure, cooling time, and cycle time are adjusted according to the selected plastic grade and support-frame geometry.

Controlled processing helps maintain frame dimensions, mounting-interface accuracy, structural rigidity, and repeatable fitment with the compression assembly.

5. Finishing & Assembly Preparation

After moulding, the support frames are inspected for flash, gate marks, sink marks, short shots, sharp edges, warpage, and surface imperfections. Mounting bosses, screw holes, locating features, ribs, clips, pivot interfaces, and guide sections are checked before assembly.

Where required, the moulded frame can be prepared for installation with the compression paddle, paddle holder, and designated positioning mechanism.

6. Quality Inspection

Finished Mammography Machine Plastic Paddle Support Frame components are checked for overall dimensions, structural geometry, mounting-interface accuracy, paddle alignment, surface finish, and fitment with the associated compression assembly.

Trial assembly can be performed to verify secure attachment, positioning, movement clearance, and compatibility with the complete paddle-support mechanism.

Raw Materials

The final plastic grade should be selected according to mechanical loading, repeated movement, wear, operating temperature, cleaning and disinfectant exposure, dimensional stability, patient-contact proximity, flame-performance requirements, and applicable medical-device specifications.

• Mounting-hole position and diameter

• Mounting-boss dimensions

• Locating-feature accuracy

• Reinforcing-rib dimensions

• Guide-feature dimensions

• Pivot-interface dimensions where applicable

• Clip and snap-fit accuracy

• Paddle alignment

• Structural deformation inspection

• Warpage inspection

• Sink-mark and short-shot inspection

• Flash and burr inspection

• Surface-finish inspection

• Colour consistency

• Paddle support-frame trial assembly

• Paddle retention and positioning verification

• Batch-to-batch dimensional consistency

Buyer Guide

When ordering a Mammography Machine Plastic Paddle Support Frame Mould and Moulding Service, buyers should provide the complete paddle-support design, CAD drawing, 3D model, physical sample, or compression-assembly specifications. Important requirements include:

• Compression paddle dimensions

• Paddle mounting-interface dimensions

• Support-frame dimensions

• Required structural profile

• Expected mechanical load

• Mounting-hole dimensions and locations

• Screw, clip, snap-fit, or pivot requirements

• Required retaining method

• Reinforcing-rib requirements

• Guide and locating requirements

• Movement range where applicable

• Internal component clearance

• Required wall thickness

• Plastic material and grade

• Cleaning and disinfectant requirements

• Operating temperature

• Surface texture and finish

• Colour requirements

• Expected production quantity

• Required mould life

• Prototype or mass-production requirements

• OEM or ODM assembly requirements

For mammography equipment, the Paddle Support Frame should be validated as part of the complete medical-device assembly for mechanical strength, paddle positioning, repeated-use durability, movement, cleaning and disinfectant exposure, material compatibility, patient-contact proximity, and applicable medical-device and regulatory requirements. The plastic frame should not be assumed to provide radiation shielding unless specifically engineered, tested, and validated for that function.
