Z5 latch locks from STRACK!

- Latch lock for opening an extra parting line or for using a stripper plate.

- Z5 doesn't include a locking function as the other latch locks in the series Z3 and Z4. This makes Z5 more cost-effective but it requires without exception planning of a limit mechanism.

The latch locks the mould plate in the selected mould half and, when the desired opening stroke (S1) is reached, is released by the cam plate. The cam plate is adjustable within the housing and determines the point at which the mould is unlocked. The mould moves onwards in the parting plane. When the injection mould has closed again, the leaf springs press the latch lever back into its original position.

- The length of the latch lever and the side track is a predetermined dimension. If this dimension does not correspond to the intended design, it must be shortened accordingly.

- The bearing support and wear plate and, only for Z5-0, the side track are to be incorporated into the mould plates by the dimensions shown in the catalogue. Ensure adequate clearance for the latch lever. After determining the desired mould opening stroke (S1), bolt down the cam plate and, after fine adjustment of all the latch locks, secure with pins.

- If the latch lever is shortened by more than X/2, one of the shorter leaf springs should be removed.

- Mount the latch locks symmetrically, parallel and at right angles to the mould guide. Take care to ensure uniform adjustment of all the latch locks and uniform drawing of the moving plate.

- Perform mounting and adjustment on the assembled mould. Use spring washers or adhesive Z 9092 to secure the mounting bolts.
