Three-Plate Latch System Installs and Adjusts Easily
The latch and cam plates separately attach to the mold to prevent over-stroking on the machine.
Designed for simplicity and positive plate pulling, the three-plate latch system from Alba installs easily. The system mounts externally, so the latch and cam plate assembly provide for easy adjustment of plate stroke. External mounting also provides for easy adjustment of positive-plate stop positions. The company says that a socket head cap screw can easily adjust the LS01 and LS02 cam plates while they are still in the machine. Since the latch and the cam plate are separately attached to the mold, there is no possibility of over-stroking the machine and causing mold damage. Alba offers this system in a variety of sizes to meet a variety of applications.
