Larger cooling channels, no rotary seals and the unique clutch design of the
Rotating Ratchet Ring provide faster cycles with less maintenance.
Integrated servo swingchutes for fastest possible cycle times.
UNSCREWING MOLD BASES – ROTATING RATCHET RING
For parts that are unscrewed during ejection, Husky’s Rotating
Ratchet Ring (RRR) mold bases provide a superior alternative
to conventional unscrewing molds. The patented RRR
design uses teeth in the ratchet ring to unscrew the molded
part from a stationary core. The primary benefits of using
a stationary core are larger cooling channels and no rotary
seals. Additionally, the RRR design incorporates a unique
unidirectional clutch on the drive gear. The clutch permits
the ratchet ring to rotate in one direction to eject the part
and allows the ring to idle during rack reset.
SWINGCHUTES
Husky’s patented swingchutes replace costly robotics for
product handling. Swingchutes are actuated by cams or
servo motors and are integrated directly into the mold base.
Suction cups at the end of the swingchute arms grip the
parts, remove them from the mold and place them into a
stationary chute next to the mold.
GATE INSERTS
Properly designed gate inserts improve cycle time and gate
quality. Correctly positioned and sized gate insert cooling
lines provide the widest possible processing window with-
out compromising gate quality. Accurate insert manufactur-
ing and finishing ensures correct nozzle and cavity seal off,
eliminating detrimental resin hang-up spots. Husky provides
standard and custom gate inserts manufactured from
hardened tool steel and designed for easy maintenance and
optimal heat extraction.
