Cooling Added to Compact Slide
NPE2024: CUMSA adds cooling to the Compact Slides (CS) line launched last year.
CUMSA is adding a cooling system to its Compact Slides (CS) with a floating insert, helping molders optimize the cooling process, lower cycle times, decrease energy consumption and improve plastic part quality. This cooling system design, combined with the insert, eliminates the need for a high-precision pocket. Available in three standard sizes — CR42, CR52 and CR62 — the cooled, compact slides feature an insert with predrilled holes to ease finishing the cooling circuit once the insert detail is machined. The three sizes have three, four and five predrilled holes, respectively.
Helping remove heat during molding, these cooling systems target difficult-to-cool areas in the CS line. The inserts have a 1/8 GAS-threaded hole on each side to connect the cooling hoses, which are sold separately, directly to the waterlines. The compact slides have strokes ranging from 9 to 22 mm, with ±0.05 mm horizontal movement to ease installation.
