When cavities and cores are to be inserted into blind pockets, or machined directly into the A- and B-plates, the B-Series Assembly is used. The Top Clamping Plate and Support Plate are omitted from the assembly.

The most frequently used Standard Assembly, the A-Series Mold Base is available in 43 sizes from 7 7 / 8 × 7 7 / 8 to 23 3 / 4 × 35 1 / 2 . or complete information.

The AX-Series Assembly is used when the mold requires a floating plate to remain with the upper or stationary half of the assembly. It is basically an A-Series Assembly with a floating plate (X-1) added.

The T-Series Assembly is used for top runner molds that require two floating plates (X-1 – runner stripper plate, X-2 – cavity plate) to remain with the upper or stationary half of the assembly.
