Progressive has now added hundreds of new cooling items to provide designers with more – and better – options. Of note is the new, exclusive Bubbler Base™, designed for maximum cooling flow rates and ease of mold assembly and disassembly.

Progressive Components first introduced “black and gold” locks nearly 25 years ago. And while others, from Europe to China, have copied the look, Progressive now introduces a series that offers additional features and performance benefits.

Progressive Components, a leading global supplier of components for the production tooling industry, now introduces an electronic mold monitoring device called the CVe Monitor™.

Progressive Components introduces the CamAction 350 Series. Available in both inch and metric sizes, the CamAction 350 Series features a longer travel at ¾” (18mm) than the 300 series.

Progressive's CamActions provide standard solutions for molding and releasing external undercuts. Now, the CamAction 300 and 400 Series are offered with Progressive's SRT Slide Retainers installed, providing a reliable method for maintaining the slide position during the ‘mold open’ stage.

To help minimize costs associated with new product development, Progressive Components has introduced its new ProtoBridge™ standardized tooling kit. The pre-engineered ProtoBridge system is designed specifically for closure manufacturing. The design is flexible and can be used for applications with the DT Series Collapsible Core, as well as jump thread designs. It offers the ability to be converted from one part design to another while the mold is still in the press.

Progressive introduces its new Lifter Blades™, a new method for releasing molded undercuts. The new Lifter Blade offers a compact design that can be utilized where other approaches cannot, provides a parallel lift and positional hold of the molded part prior to release, and is straightforward to machine, easy to install and removable from the parting line.
