UNSCREWING DEVICES FOR MOLDS
TGA - BASIC UPRIGHT UNITS
The Threadformer™
• Powerful Hydraulic Motor• Precision Core stopping • Compact and sturdy design• Unscrews 70 mm
Complete single unit Threadformer installation.
FeaturesThe Threadformer unscrewing devices are precise, sturdy and cost-efficient
• Powerful hydraulic motor for rapid unscrewing action• Repeatable precise core stopping ability within .003” or better• Compact single and twin drive unit designs• Supports long thread depths, pitches, and types• Requires minimal maintenance for high production use• Retrofittable for new or existing injection molds• Demolds both right and left-hand threads• Can be mounted at any angle or within the mold
Our unscrewing devices provide time and cost gains in mold making while reducing production costs for the injection molder by giving reliable, trouble-free service.
SpecificationsThe Superior Threadformer is supplied ready for operation. The fixed thread guide nut comes with factory-machined internal threads matching the pitch of the thread to be molded. Three powerful hydraulic motors to choose from, which can deliver up to 2,450 rpm. Single-drive unit mounts to mold using two M10 SHCS. 24 volt DC high precision proximity switches are included for hydraulic control. All steel parts are hardened and ground with the core holder nitrided for extra wear-resistance.
The Threadformer™Features and Specifications
MADE IN THE USA
To guarantee a precise thread start position, the core holder must run against a fixed stop with its entire front surface area at a pressure not exceeding 40 bar. To increase speed of unit, maximize hydraulic VOLUME instead of pressure.
The flow of hydraulic fluid must be shut off by use of a proximity switch slightly before the core holder touches the fixed stop.
For the core holder retraction movement, the unscrewing pressure must be higher than the screw-in pressure. However, the unscrewing pressure should not be higher than 100 bar.
The retraction of the core holder must again be stopped by a proximity switch. This will involve some after running. Care should be taken to ensure that the core holder does not run up against a fixed stop at this point. In case this has happened, the core holder must be released manually. With through-thread, note that the core holder must not touch but should have up to 0,02 mm clearance upon reaching the thread start position. This amount of play will not result in melt film formation.

Unscrews 70 mm(Standard Version)
Simply install your threaded core into the core holder and secure with two set screws via a common 16mm shank system. Your moldmaker, or Superior Die Set, can fabricate the threaded core. Pitch should include shrinkage. Core locks should always be used when axial pressure is applied to the core, as in blind hole applications.
