, mold mold, name for certain multicellular organisms of the various classes of the kingdom Fungi, characteristically having bodies composed of a cottony mycelium. The colors of molds are caused by the spores, which are borne on the mycelium.  wear, and part-quality problems are all said to be minimized by a new Greaseless Mold Carrier and Alignment System (GMCAS) from Holmes Engineering, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.

, Lawrence, Kan. Built for Holmes by Burger & Brown Engineering, Grandview, Mo., the GCMAS GCMAS Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society  utilizes rollers on wear plates to replace sliding support systems. The saddles of the GCMAS sit on the machine tierods but remain stationary and have bronze support bushings to protect the tierods.

By preventing platen A long, thin cylinder in a typewriter or printer that guides the paper through it and serves as a backstop for the printing mechanism to bang into. It is typically made of a hard rubber or rubber-like material. See carriage and typewriter.  tilt and mold wear, GCMAS reportedly minimizes stuck or distorted parts. It minimizes the need for wear-prone alignment systems in the mold to force alignment each time the mold closes. A quick-change version is optional.

GCMAS is recommended for all molds on presses up to 2000 tons but is said to be especially helpful to align the center section of stack molds, to prevent platen flit with very large molds, and to align multi-cavity molds with critical blank-off areas, such as tools for hinged closures, medical parts, thin-wall parts, and ones with thin cores. Greaseless operation avoids part contamination. Tel: (785) 843-7420 * www.greaselessconcepts.com
