INTERLOCKS
Please read carefully before installing components.
Installation Instructions:
1. Four D-M-E Top Interlocks must be used in each mold application. When in operation, the
interlocks contact the edges of the machined pocket to maintain parting line alignment. The
cap screws are only utilized to reta in th e interlocks to the mo ld base.
2. To main tain alignmen t, it is reco mmended th at th e mold b ase asse mbly be clamped tog ether
and machined in assembly to insure proper parting line alignmen t.
3. Machine the interlock pockets accurately in assembly. Locate each interlock pocket on the
centerline of the mold. The location is critical to avoid misalignment problems which could
result from uneven thermal expansion of the separate mold halves.
4. Mount the female interlock on the half of which will have the highest operating temperature.
Normally, this will be the “A” side of the mold. This procedure is critical to insure that the
male interlock does not grow larger than the female interlock if uneven mold temperatures
are p resen t. Place the female interlocks so the relief slot are at the bottom of the pocket for
easy interlock removal. Place the male interlock with the release side facing the pocket
bottom.
5. Place both male and female interlocks into the pockets while the mold is clamped together
then threa d i n a nd tight en sc re ws.
6. Torque the mounting SHCS to:
x 7.8 N x m [ 5.7 FT x LBS] for M4-0.7 SHCS
x 16 N x m [ 11.7 FT x LBS] for M5-0.8 S HCS
x 27 N x m [ 19.8 FT x LBS] for M6-1 SHCS
x 65 N x m [ 47.7 FT x LBS] for M8-1.25 SHCS
x 130 N x m [ 95.5 FT x LBS] for M10-1.5 SHCS
7. After installation, open and close the mold on the bench to insure proper alignment.
