“The Ex-Cav fit the package better. It involved less work, was less costly, less complicated and it didn’t require more room than we had to work with. With another type of unscrewing system, we would have had to expand the mold considerably larger, causing our customer to buy a new, larger molding machine."  

~ Glen Casetta, CDM Tool & Manufacturing

“Our customer requested a two-cavity unscrewing mold to fit into a specified press size but the part is large enough that there was a concern about fitting the mold, with rack and gears, into that press size. So, knowing the benefits Collapsible Cores offered, we suggested using them for this project and the customer was willing to try them. The part design was altered slightly, but the customer liked the simplification of it and, in the long run, it also resulted in less maintenance issues for them, not to mention a 20% improvement in cycle times versus an unscrewing system. We were able to provide a lower cost tool that runs more efficiently, requiring less maintenance and less downtime. That’s significant.”

““The last mold we designed replaced a conventional, rack-driven unscrewing mold and the results were better than expected. The original mold was running just over a minute per cycle, but the new collapsible core mold now runs at about 22 seconds. It could have cycled faster, but that’s as fast as the press could go! We appreciate being able to run the tooling on smaller presses – all of this “adds up to huge savings.”
