New Insulator Block for High Temperature Tools

Innovative Solution Protects Monitoring Devices to 180°C/360°F

Progressive Components announces the release of its new Insulator Block, which installs on the outside of the mold, and is used to protect Progressive’s CounterView and CVe Monitor from temperatures found when molding high-temperature resins.

The maximum temperature for a CounterView is 120°C/250°F, and a CVe Monitor is 90°C/190ׄ°F. When utilizing an Insulator Block, both units will perform with mold temperatures up to 180°C/360°F.Other benefits include:
• Block can be installed on either half of the tool, but for the CVe Monitor, the stationary side is recommended for optimal cable routing
• Available in both Inch and Metric versions, complete with ¼-20 or M6 screws

“More and more molds are running higher temperature materials,” states Glenn Starkey, president at Progressive Components. “Meanwhile, it has become ‘standard equipment’ for tools to have either a CV Cycle Counter or CVe electronic mold monitor. This exclusive Insulator Block removes a barrier to those mold buyers specifying monitoring products on their tools.”
