INTERNAL LATCH LOCK Benefits and Selection Table DME’s Internal Latch Lock Allows Pre - cision Control of Mold Plate Latching

DME’s unique internally-mounted latch lock mechanism adapts to a number of mold base sizes and plate thicknesses. It is available in four sizes to accommodate most standard DME stripper plate mold bases. Two travel ranges and two center puller pin lengths are available for each of the three latch lock sizes. Once installed, DME’s Internal Latch Locks control the sequence of one parting line opening after the first parting line has traveled a predetermined distance. After installation there are no adjustments that can be accidentally changed. The Internal Latch Locks are most commonly used on DME AX-Series stripper plate mold bases but can be used on other DME stripper plate mold bases as well. • Four diameter sizes to choose from – 28mm, 34mm, 45mm and 60mm – depending on the size of the mold and the application • Two travel ranges and two center puller pin lengths to choose from for each of the four sizes • Hardened steel components for longer life • Latching mechanism has built-in travel limitation • When latch is released, latching cams hold released stripper plate in fully traveled position • Easy set-up of timing for latching mechanism • Internal installation avoids interferences with water line connectors and externally mounted components

U.S. Patent No. 5,494,435

DME’s Internal Latch Lock allows control of the mold plate opening sequence on mold bases with stripper plates. It enables one plate or group of plates to be latched together while the first parting line opening occurs. Then, after a predetermined amount of travel, the latch lock releases the latched plate or group of plates for the remaining parting line or parting lines to open.
