Chrysler B Pillar Door Tool Modification

Scope: This particular mold produced a fiberglass tool that held the door ajar for a painting robot on a chrysler vehicle. The two inner slots slid over the B pillar frame and the extruding slot held the door. The customer wanted the mold modified to slightly move the door slot outward as well as adding a handle to grab the tool from the door.

  • Looking at the mold, the bottom right side needs to be machined differently. Working with hbkenterprise, we came up with a proposal to machine out a rectangular area and insert an aluminum block with the proper geometry. This block would be bolted in from the front side as top allow easier machining in the future and the ability to switch out inserts.
