WHY KOR-LOK?
More than just outstanding performance, KOR-LOK® Side-Action Systems have "user Friendly" Features
USER FRIENDLY FEATURES
Multiple Ports -
Rear ports standard
While only two hydraulic ports are used, we provide 5 SAE ports for maximum choice. All ports are machined in every unit. Using the two rear ports is quite popular.
Multiple sensor locations and guards standard
As sensor location may vary with adjusted preload position, multiple front and rear sensor locations are machined in every unit. Sensor guards are included to protect your investment.*
Direct Wire Relay Sensors
Embedded relay sensors verify "set" and "pull" positions. ** Most importantly, these sensors act as standard dry contact relays to make wiring simple and easy. Simply connect the two press wires to the sensor wires and you're ready to go.
Large Bore Cylinder Option
For deeply penetrating cores in high shrinkage materials, we are pleased to recommend our "LB" option. By adding a larger cylinder section to the standard fronts, pull force is greatly increased for improved core pull. Die casting materials and thermosets are typical material applications.
High Temperature Components/Metal Wipers
Flourocarbon seals (VI) Metal Wipers (MW) and High Temperature Sensors (HTS) provide the enhanced operating range for demanding environments to near 400˚F.
* Due to its small size, the 75 series does not have guards.
** For crash condition cores, we recommend an additional redundant sensor on the core itself to verify core retraction in the event of core to KOR-LOK® separation or false sensor reading if damaged or contaminated.
Multiple Sensor Integration with Switchmax® Sensor Connectivity
Eliminate wiring schematics and troubleshooting problems on all molds.
SWITCHMAX® with PFA KOR-LOK® Side-Action Systems
PFA's new SWITCHMAX® components integrate multiple KOR-LOK® unit sensors and other sensors into a single set and pull input to the press. When used with
KOR-LOK® sensors and other Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switches, the system provides cross checking of proper sensor position, as well.
SWITCHMAX® with other mechanical switches
Integrate almost ANY mechanical relay/dry contact switches (plunger, rocker, PFA mechanical, relay) from multiple cores to an operator side interface for simple one input connection to the press. Full "plug and play" basic operation - NO programming or dip switching required.
SWITCHMAX® with 3 Wire DC proximity sensors and AC power controls
SWITCHMAX® is also available in versions to integrate difficult 3 wire PNP style switch sensors. For AC applications, the addition of the SWITCHMAX® AC Power Adaptor allows connection to machine controls operating with AC inputs.
