longitudinal connecting rods

Introducing a novel mold design for inline-boxer engine's connecting rods: longitudinal rods suitable for inline boxer engines with eight cylinders (4 sets of 2 cylinders). To ensure efficient folding, a parallel stroke opening of 4-6 mm is required - similar to beverage bottles, albeit using the same PET plastic concept. Post-folding, the mold opens like a pincer to eject the completed casting rod and extraction becomes seamless. The casting mold remains horizontally positioned for perpendicular filling, ensuring streamlined production.
