Euro-Series Mold Bases

Features

Global solutions to regional standards

To meet the emerging need to support regional standards around the world, D-M-E introduces a new family of Euro standard mold bases, available worldwide. D-M-E Euro-Series mold bases offer many inherent benefits, but more importantly enable molders worldwide to employ Euro standard mold bases and components.

Precision t
The common bore alignment design philosophy of the Euro-Series guarantees a perfect fit every time. Centering features ensure precise alignment of mating plates. All plates have clean chamfer, an extremely fine bore finish, and excellent surface finishes.

Modular Features
With its modular, flexible configuration and common bore alignment, Euro-Series plates are completely interchangeable. A single cavity plate can be used as either the A or B plate. The same clamp plate can be the Top Clamp Plate or Bottom Clamp Plate. The same Riser Plate can be used on either side of the housing.

Euro-Series Mold Bases

Offset pin/bushing
The Euro-Series offset pin/bushing design means the offset hole is not out of position. Offset is achieved by the use of a differently-sized pin and bushing, combined with three uniformly sized pins.

Other key features

Euro-Series offers a wealth of other key features, including: Choice of flush or overhanging clamp plates Flexibility to use either a North American or European locating ring as there is no counterbore Wide range of European standard components available off-the-shelf Centering bushing aligns riser and offers easy threaded removal All plates clearly marked with steel type, plate code, and dimensions for easy identification
