The Global Thinswitch~NEW Smartflow® Global Thinswitch® helps prevent accidental mould closing in injection moulds by verifying ejector plate return. The Global Thinswitch is designed for use in injection moulds with 3mm or 4mm high rest buttons. For the first time designed for EURO standard tooloing~NEW PRODUCT Smartflow® Global Thinswitch® helps prevent accidental mould closing injection moulds by verifying ejector plate return. The Global Thinswitch is designed for use in injection moulds with 3mm or 4mm high rest buttons, and where occasional water or oil spray is present. A polyurethane dome covers the actuator spring, protecting internal gold switch contacts from environmental contamination.

A special mounting bracket aids installation from the edge of the mould. The bracket allows moulders to slide the Thinswitch into place without disassembling the mould or using screws to hold the switch in place.

Features and Benefits

Fits behind ejector plate

Over 14 million cycle life

Very economical to install

Requires only 2 screw holes

80°C (176°F) standard temperature rating

Mounting hardware included: M3 x .5 screws and bracket

Prevents costly mould damage only 3mm thick (4mm with spacer)

1mm spacer (included) may be used on moulds with 4mm rest buttons.

3mm thick design fits snugly behind the ejector plate between the rest buttons

Adjustable actuation between 3.2mm and 4mm from the switch base (excludes spacer)

The Thinswitch (Liquid Resistant) - Ejector Safety~The Liquid resistant THINSWITCH® Limit Switch To verify ejector plate return before closing the mould. Mount inside ejector housing and wire to machine controls. Can also be used for core slides or any place where space is limited.  The liquid resistant switch uses the same mounting hole locations as the original Thinswitch.~NEW The THINSWITCH® Liquid-Resistant limit switch

Smartflow® Thinswitch® Liquid-Resistant Limit Switch is designed to verify ejector plate return in areas where occasional water or oil spray is present. The Thinswitch helps prevent accidental mould close in injection moulding applications by providing a position switch that is tied to the injection moulding machine control. The liquid resistant switch uses the same mounting hole locations as the original Thinswitch.

The Thinswitch has been tested for reliability over 10 million cycles without failure. Two switches can be used in series for larger moulds to ensure the ejector plate return, preventing costly mould damage.

SMARTLOCK - Core/Slide Postion Switches~SMARTLOCK® Slide Retainer & Limit Switch is designed for injection moulders to provide switching plus slide retaining in one unique package. The SMARTLOCK® locking function prevents premature slide movement during moulded part ejection while the SPDT switch is simultaneously actuated.~SMARTLOCK® Slide Retainer & Limit Switch  is designed for injection moulders to provide switching plus slide retaining in one unique package.

The SMARTLOCK® locking function prevents premature slide movement during moulded part ejection while the SPDT switch is simultaneously actuated.

The SMARTLOCK® slide retainer and limit switch has been tested for reliability over 10 million cycles without failure. Two or more switches may be used for larger moulds, or moulds with multiple slides.

Increased safety and prevention of mould damage result when the SMARTLOCK® slide retainer and limit switch is installed in a mould. A capture screw holds the plunger in place.

Features and Benefits

New capture screw prevents plunger loss.

Over 10 million cycle life provides long dependable service.

27 pounds holding force: adjustable for optimum operation.

175 degrees F (79.4 degrees C) standard temperature rating allows installation into most moulding applications.

250 degrees F (121 degrees C) high temperature unit provides additional application flexibility.

Superior flush mount switch shielded from damage by mounting inside a protective milled pocket.

Stripped and tinned 6 ft. wire leads make the switch ready to install without modification.

Included mounting screws and wire clips help install the SMARTLOCK® switch neatly and easily.

U.S. Patent No. 6,126,429

Mode of Operation

Installed in the slide, the plunger moves into a recess in the locking plate of the switch assembly, which is installed in the mould plate. The switch actuator, located in the bottom of the recess, closes the normally open switch contacts when the plunger is seated in the locking plate recess. When the break away force is applied to the slide, the lock is released and the switch returns to its normal state.
