Latch Locking Units for Precise Control of Parting Planes

HASCO is introducing a new line of latch locking units targeting injection molds with multiple parting planes to precisely control movement of the parting planes during the opening of the tool. Offering flexible mounting and combination options, HASCO says the new latch locking units offer double-sided latch function and assembly options, including the ability to be mounted outside the tool.

The double-sided locking mechanisms in the latch locking units can be activated by either the mold or ejector stroke. They also allow the possibility of working with delayed pulling action. HASCO notes that when the main parting plane opens prior to a second opening taking place, the new Push-Loks are used.

The functional surfaces of the latch locking units are DLC-coated to minimize friction and wear, while extending service life. HASCO says the latch locks are especially suited for use in the food and medical sectors, since they operate without lubricants and can run in clean-room applications.
