Progressive Components has expanded its offering of injection mold standards with the addition of the Versa-Slide product line of slide action , which is purchased from OMNI Mold Systems in January 2025.
Versa-Slides are kitted slide action units, pre-engineered and available off-the-shelf. Assembly units begin very small (¾ × ¾ × 1") with a maximum size reaching nearly 10" in width, with optional machinable slide faces available.
The company says the modular assembly speeds mold design, simplifies mold and makes mold more consistent and predictable.
Product features include assemblies which are available in nine different series with travel ranges from ¼ to nearly 2", and offered in standard and high-temperature versions.
In addition, grind stock is provided for final adjustments to the mold base, while optional slide faces are available for all series, ready for mold details. CAD geometry is also available in multiple formats, including SolidWorks, NX, VISI, Parasolid, ACIS and IGES.
