HASCO InsertKey – for the unquestionable coding of mold inserts

With the new InsertKey Z088/... HASCO offers the possibility for the unquestionable coding of mold inserts in injection molding tools . The system, consisting of the sleeve Z0881/... and the bush Z0882/..., ensures positioning and assembly of the inserts without any risk of confusion, and thus offers clear advantages in process reliability, efficiency and standardization in moldmaking . The use of the InsertKey enables the identical production of mold inserts. Work preparation, storage of spare parts and maintenance work are far more efficient . The coding is achieved by specific rotation in the installation space, whereby, depending on the application, only a single code is required in the mold frame plate for each insert. The positioning of the insert is determined automatically when the InsertKey is installed – reliably eliminating sources of error through mixing up the mold inserts. The scalability of the coding increases the possibilities: through the use of two InsertKey units, each with eight possible positions, up to 64 clearly distinguishable combinations (8²) are created. This means that the system can be adjusted flexibly to any number of cavities and mold concepts – with minimum space requirements, because the InsertKey has no protrusion and no additional space requirement on the mold, and can be integrated in a compact installation space. With the new InsertKey , HASCO is consistently extending its portfolio of practice-oriented standard mold units for modern moldmaking. The system offers clear benefits in standardization and process control and is a further part of the company’s claim to continuously improve efficiency and reliability in the injection molding process through innovative solutions. | As the pioneer of moldmaking with many years of experience in the field of cooling technology, HASCO supports tool and moldmakers in the efficient cooling of injection molding tools. Through the extension of the product range with a new mono-coupling system with a French profile , HASCO has once again improved its service for customers throughout the world. The new modular French coupling system Z8012/... offers exceptionally simple and adaptable solutions for applications in the low-temperature range . The couplings have been specially developed to meet the demands of moldmaking and allow reliable and efficient media throughput – irrespective of whether the work is carried out with hot or cold water, or with cooling oil. Maximum throughput with minimum effort Thanks to the free passage on both sides, the system guarantees optimum throughput rates without additional flow resistance. The proven ergonomic single-handed operation enables fast and reliable coupling and decoupling . The reinforced locking system ensures reliable sealing of the circuit at all times. Safe handling through color coding For maximum process reliability , the plug and socket are available in different colors . The colored rings make it easier to differentiate between the media circuits and minimize the risk of incorrect connections – especially with complex molds featuring multiple cooling lines. Modularity for maximum flexibility The new French coupling system is available in numerous connection types and designs and can be integrated seamlessly into existing cooling concepts. An exchangeable fluorinated rubber O-ring additionally increases maintenance friendliness and ensures a long service life for the coupling, even under demanding conditions. With this extension of the cooling program, HASCO offers a forward-looking solution for precise, reliable and efficient cooling processes – once again underlining its expertise as an innovative partner in international moldmaking.
