Keyed Ejector Pins accommodate thicker plates.

D-M-E Company    Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
Dec 12, 2012 Made from thermal shock-resistant hotwork steel, EXK Keyed Ejector Pins prevent rotation during injection molding process. Precision machining creates key on head of pin to hold pin in place, eliminating damage to parts being molded or mold base itself. Pre-keyed pins also eliminate need for secondary machining. While core of pins has hardness of 40–45 HRC, OD is nitrided to 65–74 HRC; design withstands stress of industrial use. Pins come in 1/8–1 in. dia and 6–25 in. lengths.

Valve Gate Hot Runner System offers optimized thermal profile.

D-M-E Company    Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
Dec 07, 2012 With optimized thermal heat profiles in nozzle and tip, Zenith Valve Gate Hot Runner System ensures uniform heat to prevent flow channel hot spots in sequential filling and family mold applications. System optimizes part quality and surface finish through elimination of knit lines. Available as hydraulic or pneumatic hot half, Zenith also offers front- and rear-loaded nozzle heater options and works with wide range of materials, particularly amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers.

Standardized Slides aid moldmakers with complex applications.

D-M-E Company    Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
Oct 26, 2012 Available as complete assembly or individual components, Versa-Slide® Standard Slide Assemblies support precise alignment of mold opening and closing functions. With 10 different overall widths, components can be mixed to form thousands of combinations. Sliding mechanics are finish ground, with 0.005 in. grind stock left on overall width, bottom of wear plate, and slide angle.

Hot Runner Controller supports 16 timer-based zones.

D-M-E Company    Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
Jun 18, 2012 Delivering responsive control for precise, sophisticated molding, 16-Zone Hydraulic Valve Gate Sequencer features PLC touchscreen that lets users save and load mold recipes. Visual icons show valve position for each zone, circular log shows last 200 changes, and dual-time functions allow each zone to be programmed with delay-time and on-time. Along with external alarm contact, controller features Manual Mode that can turn all outputs on/off and cycle time on/off.

Part Ejection Tool minimizes mold construction time.

D-M-E Company    Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
May 28, 2010 Able to reduce mold construction time, Quick Strip eliminates need for ejector plates and pins, risers, and clamping plates. Absence of ejector pin holes also lends to cooling systems optimization and accelerated cycle times. Because this tool lifts part from mold cavity without leaving any marks, overall aesthic quality of part is ensured.

Plastic Baffles promote uniform flow of mold coolant.

D-M-E Company    Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
May 28, 2010 Made entirely with engineering grade thermoplastic-glass reinforced polypthalamide, Turbulent Flow Plastic Baffles create turbulence within glycol-based mold coolant, increasing heat transfer and cooling parts evenly and quickly. Baffles can be cut to length with standard shears and are designed to maintain rigidity and other properties at high temperatures over time. Incorporating Turbulent Flow Plastic Baffles into mold's design eliminates stagnant laminar flow.

Mold Dating Inserts provide 6-year coverage.

D-M-E Company    Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
Nov 18, 2009 At 10 mm in diameter and 12 mm high, Dual-Ring Mold Dating Inserts feature both month and date rings for dating plastic parts. Miniaturized units are machined from 55 HRC stainless steel for resistance to corrosion and wear, and do not require O-ring, enabling use in temperatures up to 300°F. Positive-stop, snap-in-place design ensures inner insert remains fixed in correct date position throughout production runs.

Mold Counter monitors mold operation and validates data.

D-M-E Company    Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
Jun 12, 2009 Using non-resettable, mechanical, 7-digit counter, CounterView records accurate number of mold cycles, and relies on sensor that detects when mold has closed. Each mold cycle triggers display to increase or decrease counting mechanism based on user preference. CounterView also validates process monitoring data and assists mold maintenance procedures. Operating to 250°F, product is available in inch and metric standards and features glass-filled nylon housing.

Micromolding Solution offers application flexibility.

D-M-E Company    Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
Jun 11, 2009 Along with conductive tip design and precise heat profiling, Stellar 5000 series has solid titanium point gate retainer that optimizes heat isolation and shielded mini-coil heater that hastens heat transfer for commodity-grade materials. Embedded brass heater is available for use with engineering-grade materials, and thru-hole tip sub-assembly maximizes wear resistance. Round and rectangular multi-threaded nozzle assemblies feature gate detail geometry that promotes application flexibility.

Ejector Blades come in more than 90 size combinations.

D-M-E Company    Madison Heights, MI 48071-2383
Jul 22, 2008 Made of M2 steel and through-hardened to 58-62 HRC for wear resistance, Inch Ejector Blades come in variety of thicknesses, widths, and lengths to fit individual needs of each project. Units feature one-piece construction with annealed heads, and are suited for electrical and electronics applications, such as cell phone covers or electrical connectors.
