MOLD LOCK INSTALLATION

MOLD LOCKS - TOP 4R INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Four top locks must be used in each mold application. When in operation, the top locks contact the edges of the machined pocket to maintain parting line alignment. The cap screws are only used to retain the top locks to the mold base.

2. Machine the top lock pockets accurately in assembly. Locate each top lock pocket on the centerline of the mold. The location is critical to avoid misalignment problems which could result from uneven thermal expansion of the separate mold halves. 3. Mount the female interlock on the half which will have the highest operating temperature. Normally, this will be on the “A” side of the mold. This procedure is critical to ensure the male top lock does not grow larger than the female top lock if uneven mold temperatures are present.

4. After installation, open and close the mold on the bench to ensure proper alignment.
