MOLD INTERLOCKS LT-Series LifeTime Roller Side Mold Interlock
PARTING LINE ALIGNMENT
Improper mold alignment can cause dimensional problems, flash, damaged components, or even a mold that won’t run anymore. Initial Engagement Interlocks must be able to allow for interference/angled engagement as the movable platen tends to lean forward and sag out of alignment due to mold weight and the toggle function. Also the cavity/core alignment is influenced by the quality/condition and location of guide pins and bushings, if these components are worn or out of place the alignment of the movable and stationary halves will be off.

Early Alignment for Precision Shutoffs Interlocks align mold halves to protect precision tapered shut off inserts from being damaged. This is especially true with cross over telescoping cavity and core inserts. Final Lockup Holding Strength Interlocks provide constrains to counter the pressure produced during injection ensuring the A and B plate do not shift which results in a constant molded part thickness and matched parting lines.
