Additional Sizes for Tooling System to Streamline Mold Building

PCS Company introduces a range of new sizes to its Flexible Insert Tooling System (F.I.T.S.) in response to growing customer requests for even more options to enhance and streamline mold building and their molding processes.

Ready-to-use F.I.T.S. inserts offer customers essential components and replacement plates with a range of options. Additional features include guided ejection, tubular dowels for precise alignment with support plates (also called ear plates) and pry slots for working with ease. Plus style inserts include return pins. PCS also offers mini hot sprue bushings that integrate smoothly into a F.I.T.S. assembly. F.I.T.S. inserts are suited for prototyping and short-run applications, providing flexibility and efficiency for quick turnaround projects.

PCS is expanding its F.I.T.S. portfolio to include:

•  T-Style Insert assemblies and replacement plates for the 10/12 and 10/14 series.
• More A-Plate and B-Plate thickness options for the laminated style Inserts of the 10/12 and 10/14 series.
• Sleeve Ejector Plate Sets for 08/10, 84/90, 10/12 and 10/14 series.

For more custom options, customers can share their CAD files for custom machining to their exact specifications. Additional F.I.T.S. benefits and functions include:

• Dual-function stripper bolts: These serve as a stopper in addition to as a guide, limiting ejector plate movement to prevent damage and ensure reliable, safe performance.
• Leader pins for stability: Larger inserts feature four leader pins to ensure smooth operation. Plus Style smaller inserts also utilize four leader pins, rather than two, providing enhanced protection for slender cores and intricate shut-offs.
• Reusable F.I.T.S. U Frame: This long-term investment pays for itself by requiring only the inserts for each new product.

To configure your F.I.T.S. insert, the online PCS configurator calculator lets customers select and order their solutions. The tool’s instant pricing supports informed purchase decisions.

“This product line expansion is happening because we are listening to the voice of customers. Our F.I.T.S. stands out for its comprehensive features and quality support. Whether customers need an additional plate for mold function, a blank replacement or need to avoid holes in standard spots, F.I.T.S. plates have them covered,” says Derrick Jones, vice president of sales and marketing.
