KOR-LOK™ Side-Action
System provide large pre-loads and thermal compensation
to core slides by use of a dual action locking intensifier
at end of stroke. The threaded housing supports the intensifier
and integral cylinder mechanism and transfers the load
between the mold base and core slide as follows:
| SET |
The
rod is extended using extend pressure. As the slide
contacts the stop at end of stroke, the locking segments
are forced into the rod groove by hydraulic pressure
on the locking slide. As the segments are "squeezed," the
rod and slide are compressed forward against the
stop under very high forces, removing flex and thermal
size variations. Final locking slide movement activates
the set sensor.
|
| PULL |
Retract
pressure forces the locking slide clear of the segments,
allowing them to disengage as the rod and slide are
pulled. When fully retracted, the rear pull sensor
is activated. |
