Compact Collapsible Core Features Independent Movements
NPE2024: DME’s DURA collapsible core’s two-piece design enables each segment to open and close independently.
DME’s DURA collapsible core offers new options for a wide range of undercut and threaded applications. DME says the two-piece design enables each segment to open and close independently, ensuring there is virtually no stress on either segment, while enhancing the product’s durability. The DURA is compact in size and features a straight driver pin, which improves cooling capabilities. DME says this element ensures the core remains at an optimal temperature, cycle after cycle, enhancing its performance and life span.
In terms of customization capabilities, the DURA core is designed with eight, 10, 12 or 16 segmentations so that whether a small-scale project or a large multicavity application is required, the DURA core can be tailored to the specific application.
For a turnkey application, DME has also developed a special mold base to incorporate the DURA core along with a 4-plate, control-latch lock system to sequence the plates at the correct distance and timing. This standard DURA core mold base eliminates the need for an ejector housing or plate, resulting in an overall shorter stack height.
