Product News – Meusburger Standard Moulds

Wolfurt. The Austrian standard mould specialist Meusburger is extending its range of products. Transport straps, transport locks, ejector covers, safety eye bolts and support bolts are new items on the order list designed to improve safety for man and materials. Also new in the range: lettering dies, special parts for die-casting and two new mould sizes measuring 316x346 mm and 316x396 mm. More products to underpin Meusburger’s leading position in the European mould tool industry.

Only last spring Meusburger launched a series of new products, which were an immediate success. Similarly, the current new range of products is the result of innovative ongoing developments precisely matched to the requirements of our customers: “We know what the industry needs and we are focussed on providing solutions. We believe in listening to our customers – it helps us in the development and implementation of innovative product ideas”, explains Managing Director Guntram Meusburger.

The latest new products at a glance:

Transport strap
A rugged transport strap, with variable suspension, secures the tool in the split line face. Its centre of gravity can be adjusted and fixed. The generous distance between the strap and the mould allows sufficient space for add-on parts such as cooling connectors and plugs.
This unique combination of stationary and transport lock simplifies the setting-up process of the mould. For the moulding production process the transport strap will be removed so as to able to operate freely. The screws to fix the strap are attached to it so they might not get lost.

Transport lock
The transport lock ‘that can’t be lost’ is simply ingenious for securely locking the split line face of standard moulds. The lock can be operated completely without tools and can remain in place for opening and closing. The fact that it only takes up a small space and the open position is very easy to recognise make the Meusburger transport lock an indispensable aid in mould- and tool-making.

Ejector cover
The transparent ejector cover provides effective protection for the ejector package. A magnetically fixed cover protects the ejectors of the tool against loose parts and sprues that may be flying about and thereby ensures a smooth production process for the mould. An integrated air gap prevents the build-up of heat and the transparent material allows an unobstructed view of the moving parts.

Safety eye bolts
Certified safety ring bolts for high loads provide optimal safety when handling heavy loads. The safety ring bolts come in different designs and can be turned and swivelled under load offering much higher load capacities than conventional ring bolts.

Support bolts
Standardised bearing bolts prevent damage to projecting parts of the moulds and are an extremely useful aid for depositing and storing moulds and tools.

Lettering dies
As of now, we can supply three different types of dies for individual marking of mould parts. Each of them is available in eight different lettering styles and diameters. The range comprises a suitable lettering die for virtually any situation in the moulding business, from standard dies to compact versions for confined spaces through to versions without height adjustment.

Die-casting parts
Locating rings with and without bolt holes and thread inserts for the ejector package, specially developed for die-casting.

Standard moulds
Two new mould sizes measuring 316x346 mm and 316x396 mm respectively.
