The Design Challenge

Mold designers face a challenge when determining how to best eject a part with undercuts. A lifter is often the preferred solution but there is always an element of the unknown. Thermal expansions of the mold plates or any misalignment of the tool either during manufacturing or through the tool’s lifecycle can result in plate movement placing pressure on the lifter causing the lifter to bind or possibly even break.  With its unique multi-axis self- aligning capabilities, the new DME Accualign Lifter solves this problem providing the mold design with more flexibility and peace of mind.

Featuring:

• Carbide ball adapter provides long life with little to no wear.
• The precision dovetail design provides positive union of the adapter and rod with the ability to self-align.
• Available in Metric and Imperial sizes

DME Accualign – A Better and More Versatile Lifter

Unlike competitor lifters, which only move in a 2D plane, the DME Accualign Lifter surpasses all other lifters through its multi-axis self-adjusting system:

This novel solution allows for optimum movement and compensates for any misalignment opposite to the release angle ensuring very low friction and reduced binding
