Smart Molding International 1-2025

21 www.smart-molding.com molds and tooling HASCO developed new French monocoupling system As a pioneer of mouldmaking with over 50 years of experience in the field of cooling technology, HASCO supports tool- and mouldmakers worldwide in the efficient cooling of injection moulding tools. By extending the product portfolio with the new monocoupling system with French profile, HASCO offers even more service for its international customers. Modular system for maximum flexibility The new monocoupling system Z 800550ff/… is noted for its blocking function on one or two sides, thereby offering maximum flexibility to meet the demands of precise and efficient mould cooling. Optimised flow rates and ergonomic operation A special feature of the new French system, which is available in the sizes 9 and 13, is offered by the special valve technology, which guarantees a minimum flow resistance. Excellent flow rates, which are up to 30% above the usual standard on the market, increase the performance and ensure more efficient cooling, a reduction of the downtimes and an increase in overall productivity. A further highlight is the ergonomic one-hand operation, which considerably facilitates and speeds up the coupling and separation of cooling circuits. High-grade materials, a variety of connection options When developing its monocoupling systems, HASCO opted for high-grade sealing materials that guarantee excellent temperature resistance. The system is designed for use at temperatures of up to 150°C for water and up to 200°C for oil. Apart from that, the imperial cylindrical outer threads are equipped with an additional sealing ring to ensure safe and reliable sealing. The monocoupling system also offers variable connections, including inner thread, outer thread and bushing, which enables a high level of adaptability to different cooling circuits. Comprehensive cooling programme for modern mouldmaking HASCO offers the most comprehensive range of products for cooling in mouldmaking, extending from nipples and couplings to bushings and hoses. The exceptional diversity of combination possibilities within the range opens up future-oriented solutions for all tasks in cooling technology. With the launch of the French monocoupling system, HASCO is extending its portfolio and ensuring that customers worldwide can have access to the latest and most efficient technologies. HASCO www.hasco.com Progressive introduced new runner components Progressive Components has added new runner components with the introduction of a Gate Insert and Runner Turn Off as standardized items for controlling a mold's runner system. Progressive's new Gate Insert offers a compact, off-the-shelf solution to address the issue of abrasive materials opening gates. Gate Inserts are serviceable from the parting line, can be replaced, and provide an option to adjust gate size without re-EDM'ing the gate diameter. Progressive's Runner Turn Off (RTO) provides a reliable method to block or redirect material flow within the runner, which is especially common with family mold tooling. The RTO offers precise, click-in- place positioning at 45° increments and is conveniently held during the machining of the pre-hardened 420 SS assembly, which is then located into position with a press fit flat. RTOs are available in styles both with and without a center ejector pin. Gate Inserts and Runner Turn Offs may be used together or independently, as required by the mold's design.
