Alignment Locks
Precisely align and lock together your mold halves, so they stay in place during high-pressure injection molding. They're used as the final alignment between your mold halves, after leader pins and bushings (not included) guide your mold halves close together.
Top and side locks install where the two halves of your mold meet, often called the parting line. Top locks require separately machined pockets on each half of your mold for installation. Because you’re machining both sides separately, you’ll need to take extra care to make sure the two pockets are aligned. The pockets for side locks can be machined at the same time by clamping your mold together, ensuring they’re aligned.
Tapered round locks prevent sliding in all directions unlike top and side locks, which only prevent sliding in one direction. Install them where the two halves of the mold meet, often called the parting line. You’ll need to machine pockets in each half of your mold separately, so you’ll need to take extra care to make sure the two pockets are aligned. For a complete pair, you’ll need a male and female lock with matching ODs. The height does not need to match.
Guide locks keep internal cavities and cores aligned as the two halves of the mold come together.
