Round & Rectangle Tapered Interlocks
DME Tapered Interlocks provide positive metal-to-metal mold
registry to align mold halves, mold plates or individual cavities
and cores. The larger sizes are generally used with large molds
or plates. The 1/2 and 3/4 sizes are generally used with small
molds or to align cavities and cores. At least two sets are
recommended for small molds or inserts, four for medium-size
molds and six or more for large molds.
The tapered interlocks are intended to seat on the taper,
NOT the face of the interlock. This provides positive alignment
without the need for the face of the male and female to touch.
