75 Trillion Possibilities - new SelectBase™ Offers Rapid Delivery of Nearly Unlimited Configurations

September 2002 - D-M-E Company's new quick-delivery SelectBase™ offers the industry's greatest variety of mold base sizes, steel types, plate thicknesses, and value-added features. Every SelectBase is built-to-order - not off-the-shelf- but most are shipped in just a few days, and all are shipped within five days. SelectBase provides a unique combination of affordability, quick turnaround and extensive feature offerings, with more than 75 trillion possible mold base configurations available.

SelectBase gives mold makers "made-to-order" flexibility with short lead times, allowing a la carte feature selection without special "feature grouping" and added cost for unwanted "extras." Customers can even specify their desired steel type - at the plate level - to customize a mold base that meets their objectives. SelectBase offers 43 nominal mold base sizes from 0808 to 2435 - the widest range of nominal sizes offered in the industry.

D-M-E Company has always offered many features with its standard mold base product line, including:

• 43 nominal sizes

• nine plate thicknesses

• four steel types

• clamp slot type (A, B, C or D)

• location or omission of locating ring

• sprue bushing and sprue puller pin (with or without machining)

• selection or omission of assembly screws

• stop pins and return pins

• three-piece or welded ejector housing

SelectBase expands this list with additional features such as:

• guided ejection

• pry slots

• leader pin vents

• lifting holes

• ejector housing cover

Each SelectBase includes an ejector housing cover for additional operator safety, as well as ejector and ejector retainer plates.

SelectBase complements D-M-E Company's low-cost MoldBasics line, which offers same-day shipment of mold bases with fewer features, as well as the company's full-custom Quick Delivery Specials (QDS) series for specialized mold requirements. D-M-E Company backs the SelectBase line, as it does all of its products, with expert application assistance and guaranteed satisfaction.

D-M-E Company is one of the world's largest manufacturers and distributors of mold tooling, mold components, hot runner systems, and electronic controls for the plastics industry. A subsidiary of Milacron Inc., D-M-E Company also manufactures and sells standard tooling for the die casting industry.
