    HARDLOCK Set Screws have been adopted as a new solution for holding core pins and ejector pins in place in die casting machines. Previous methods required extensive maintenance or damaged the integrity of molds. HARDLOCK Set Screws can fix pins in under 3 hours and are reusable, preventing pin slackening without degrading the mold. Major automakers and Tesla now use HARDLOCK Set Screws as the standard solution for die casting and injection molding machines.

    Die Casting Machines – Core Pins & Ejector Pins

    Problem Installation time and integrity of Ejector plates used to fix Pins in place.

    HARDLOCK Set Screws have been adopted as the new adaptive solution for holding pins in place.
    Companies such as Toyota, Honda, Suzuki, Nissan and Tesla in the automotive industry have realized
    the potential for HARDLOCK Set screw, reviewing their current Die casting machine designs. One
    example is Tesla’s use of the product in the Giga Press Machine. HARDLOCK Set Screw has also been
    adopted as a standard solution for injection molding machines (plastic).

    Up until now the standard solution was to use Ejector plates fixed with bolts to reduce pin wear and
    obtain proper positioning of the pins. For large molds Ejector plate’s are heavy and take time to install.
    Other methods such as Spot welding were used to hold the pins in place, but reduces the integrity of
    the mold itself, and makes exchanging of the pin extremely difficult.

    HARDLOCK Set Screw acts as a grub screw with an extended tie rod allowing for fixing of pins. The
    HARDLOCK Set Screw consists of 2 grub screws, where the first screw has an extended tie rod fixing
    the pin in place. The second grub screw has a tapered section which is off-centred that joints into the
    first screw. The wedging effect which takes place reduces play and applying friction to the threads
    preventing the screw from loosening. This new solution allows for simple installation and removal of
    the pins without ruining the integrity of the mold. HARDLOCK Set Screw is also reusable.
