EJECTOR PLATE
Identical to the “A“ Series, with leader pins and bushings “reversed.“ Specify “AX“ and “BX“ plate thicknesses when ordering (rather than “A“ and “B“). REVERSE “A” SERIES
EJECTOR HOUSING
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 . See pages 52-137 for 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.
