Native data with mounting spaces save time

According to Hasco, the fast and consistent availability of CAD data for standard parts is the basic prerequisite for designing tools and moulds efficiently. With the latest update of the Solidworks native database, Hasco now presents an exclusive tool with around 100 additional products as well as the entire K standard parts programme. The parameterised data allow for easy and precise operation.

Native data generated in original CAD systems now additionally include the mounting spaces, which leads to considerable time savings during the design process. With just a few clicks, these could be inserted into the individual design alongside the required contour to be removed.

Even in the event of possible changes, the fully parameterised data offer decisive advantages because the relevant parts automatically adapt to the corrections made, according to Hasco.

The subsequent generation of parts lists increases process reliability and categorically rules out incorrect orders, it is emphasised. The largely automated ordering process allows punctual delivery right at the start of assembly.

If the design data with the additionally considered installation environments flow directly to the machining centre, further savings potentials can also be achieved in the downstream CAM area.

If necessary, Hasco's CAD specialists will of course be happy to help Solidworks users implement the database in their own system.

Pawl pulls safely control parting lines

In injection moulds with several parting lines, such as 3-platen moulds, pawl pulls precisely control the movement sequence of the mould halves during the opening process. The new Hasco pawl pulls with double-sided pawl function impressed with their very high transmittable forces and their reliability. The external mounting on the tool makes the whole unit installation-flexible and offers various combination possibilities, which also include a fastening alternative by means of feather keys, as Hasco says.

Based on the experience with double-acting locking mechanisms in latch pulls, this addition to the range offers completely new possibilities. The different variants can be actuated by the mould or ejector stroke, Hasco continues. They are also intended to open up the possibility of working with or without a delay. Especially when the main parting line is to open first before a second opening, the new pawls are used.

The pawl pulls have DLC-coated (Diamond like carbon) functional surfaces. According to Hasco, this offers the best conditions in terms of minimal friction and high wear resistance. They are therefore also particularly suited for use in the food and medical sectors because they work without lubricants and are therefore suitable for use in clean rooms.

How to properly secure ejector packs

When transporting injection moulds, there is a risk that the ejector package will move and the mould cavity may be damaged by the plunger-like pin surfaces. However, the novel Hasco ejector package locking device Z732/... now ensures damage-free transport of injection moulds by simply and effectively locking the ejector package. The convenient magnetic locking device, which is available in two sizes, can secure and release the ejector package quickly and without tools. It does so by means of the overmoulded locking pin.

To save space, this safety pin is installed in the area of the moulding strips and positioned in the locking position so that it projects into the free space in front of the ejector package and prevents unintentional movement, as Hasco explains. This reliably prevents damage to the mould cavities. The ejector package safety device is individually adapted to each mould by cutting the safety pin to length, notes Hasco. The new ejector package safety device Z732/... withstands temperatures up to 80 °C.
