Abstract
A casting tool has a tool part that, in a casting position, delimits a hollow of the casting tool and shapes a negative form of a self-supporting cantilever of a cast part. The tool part is transferable from the casting position along a separation direction into a separation position to demold the cast part. The hollow has an undercut with respect to the separation direction that is shaped by the tool part in the casting position.
Claims18
A casting tool, comprising:
- a tool part that, in a casting position, delimits a hollow of the casting tool and shapes a negative form of a self-supporting cantilever of a cast part, the tool part is transferable from the casting position along a separation direction into a separation position to demold the cast part, the hollow has an undercut with respect to the separation direction that is shaped by a portion of the tool part in the casting position;
- and
- a further tool part delimiting the hollow, the tool part and the further tool part are a pair of casting mold halves, the tool part has a first surface opposite a second surface of the further tool part, the first surface and the second surface are shaped differently, the first surface and the second surface each shape the negative form of the self-supporting cantilever.
A cast part demolded from a casting tool, comprising:
- a connector housing having a contact chamber;
- and
- a self-supporting cantilever having an undercut, the self-supporting cantilever extends from an inner wall of the connector housing and extends into the contact chamber, the self-supporting cantilever having a position in a demolded, force-free state of the cast part that is moved in a direction facing away from the undercut compared to a non-demolded state.
