Space-Saving Core Cuts Cycle Times,
Progressive Components has expanded its line of C-Cores with the new DT Series Collapsible Core.
The DT Core is a positive,
mechanically actuated collapsible core that eliminates the cycle times
of complex gear and rack approaches, resulting in a simplified
“open-shut” tool. The maintenance advantage is dramatic due to a
patented quick-lock feature that allows removal and servicing of the
The DT Core’s compact design allows for tighter cavity spacing, which results in the ability to use a smaller press or to add more cavities versus a comparably-sized gear and rack mold base. In addition, by utilizing the mold’s opening for actuation, the ejector system is eliminated, resulting in a very compact height, which is advantageous in stack molds while also allowing installation on the mold’s cavity half. Available in four standard sizes to match common industry cap diameters, custom sizes are also available. The finished thread detail can also be provided to reduce mold building time and expense.
Hasco Microprocessor Control Unit
One special feature is the output level monitoring. Here, through automatic comparison with the last used output levels, deviations are displayed, informing the operator at an early stage of imminent malfunctions, corrosion, soiling or the possibility of a heating failure, even before faulty molded parts emerge from the mold. In the highly compact housing, all the control zones can be seen at one go, while LEDs indicate constantly the operating status.

Very
fast scanning rates ensure precise temperature control
from 2 to 128 control zones with use of Hasco’s new
Microprocessor Control Unit Z1240/…. The PID control
technology is accurate to 1/10 °C and, combined with
fuzzy logic, controls the control systems via either
pulse packages, phase angle or a combination of the two.
It also reliably protects against overshooting, which
could impair the temperature control or, at worst, even
destroy the heating system.
