Hasco Unveils Precision Stamps, Space-Saving Insert
Fixed-height stamps with recessed engraving promise consistent quality while compact 12-zone plug insert saves space with full 16-amp capacity.
German mold component supplier Hasco has created a new series of marking stamps (Z48600/-Z48645/) that simplify precision stamping for moldmakers by keeping the stamp height fixed.
With a precise latching function and an accurate axial height position when adjusting the arrow insert, the stamps ensure consistent component quality during the entire production process, according to Hasco. The stamps’ recessed engraving also guarantees a clean and precise reproduction as well as good readability and resistance, the company says.
The arrow inserts can be replaced easily from the parting line, facilitating maintenance and adjustment without the need to completely dismantle the tool. The marking stamps are also suitable for very small installation spaces from 2.6 mm.
Made from corrosion-resistant 1.4112 stainless steel, the marking stamps provide low-wear mechanics and a long service life over many production cycles, Hasco says.
In a separate announcement, the company introduced its Plug Insert H12294/… for 12 control zones that’s designed to optimize space without sacrificing performance. Despite its full 16-amp load capacity, the insert uses half the space of previous six-zone variants. Ideal for small molds or large multicavity tools where protruding boxes pose assembly challenges, the insert also features cables that are fixed by a crimp connection. While the wires are compressed permanently and reliably in the pins, they can be removed from the plug at all times with the necessary tool and be rewired up to 75% faster, according to Hasco.
Coordinated cables, including custom options, are available to integrate with existing control systems.
