CO LL APS IB LE COR ES DT Series Collapsible Cores

Easily mold parts with closures as small as 13mm The Collapsible Mini-Core broadens the applications of collapsible core molds for closures as small as 13mm. Due to the smaller diameters involved, these Mini- Cores employ three larger collapsing segments combined with three narrow, non-collapsing blades, which are an integral part of the center pin. As a result, up to 80% full threads or undercuts can be molded. The function of the collapsing core also permits threads to stop at any point along the molded length – threads need not run out to the top of the core as with unscrewing molds. If a seal is required in the top of the closure, an undercut can be molded into the part to hold such a seal in place. The collapsing action also permits a longer threaded area to be formed, without adding to the cycle time or requiring long rack and pinion mechanisms. In addition to threads, other configurations such as dimples, cut-outs or protrusions beyond the capabilities of unscrewing molds can be successfully molded. Three standard sizes of Collapsible Mini-Cores are available, for 13-16, 17-20 and 21-24mm closures. Full technical details on core grinding and stripper plate mold construction are included in the Collapsible Core and Collapsible Mini- Core Design & Assembly Guide – contact DME for a copy.

The Collapsible Core DT Series provides a more compact and simplified solution to molding challenging internal undercut features such as o-ring grooves, slots and snap-fit designs. Available in four original standard sizes and in customized sizes, the DT Collapsible Core Series eliminates the need for unscrewing mechanisms. Dove Tail Collapsible Cores Enable Application Design Flexibility • All standard DT Series Collapsible Cores offer 360 degree molding of threads or other undercut features • Molded parts are not required to be closed at one end; they may be partially or completely open • DME offers customized DT Cores with pre-machined part detail • A variety of coatings and treatments are available • For an engineering review, email your part drawing or application to dme_mech_eng@milacron.com

NOTES: 1. Cores listed above include core, center pin, positive collapse sleeve, clamping ring and a special, non-bladed center pin arbor required for proper core grinding. 2. Collapsible Mini-Cores with longer molding lengths, special diameters, collapse or number of segments will be quoted on request. For larger diameters (up to 3.535"), see Collapsible Cores.

*To determine maximum dimension of moldable undercut, reduce the amount of collapse per side shown in the table above by .020 per inch of part height requiring collapse.
