EZ-LATCH EXTERNAL LATCH LOCK Positive and precise positioning of floating plates
• Ideal for molds with floating plates, including stripper plates & 3-plate molds • Floating plates are positively locked mechanically in place during mold opening and closing, preventing potential mold damage • Reliable long-life performance through its unique design and use of nitride diffused material, avoiding coatings that can wear off during use • Allows faster cycle times due to mechanical action vs. latch locks that rely on springs or friction to lock plates • Simplifies mold design while improving design flexibility • Designed and engineered to hold large loads while saving space inside the mold • Optional long latch bar for greater stroke
