In the thesis, we faced the problem how to move side sliders on a product (called Superglue Nozzle) that is manufactured by the injection molding process. Due to the product geometry and customer's requirements (injection on the ribs, the position of external thread), we had to develop a new system for opening the side sliders via rack, which is driven by a hydraulic cylinder. In the thesis, we designed the final product, constructed a mold assembly with an added rack, calculated the force with which the polymer melt pushes side sliders and selected a hydraulic cylinder. When testing the mold on the machine, we found that the appropriate hydraulic cylinder was selected and that the function of the mold is as intended.
