Gibraltar TPL-320 Taper Lock Interlock Die Set Hardware

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR TPL-320 is a taper lock and interlock mold blank and punch die set hardware component designed for precision tooling applications. This hardware insert provides secure locking and alignment in die cast and injection mold assemblies, maintaining consistent positioning under repeated cycling. With a 10-24 thread size and compact form factor measuring 0.69 inches in height, 0.5 inches in width, and 0.69 inches in length, it fits cleanly into standard mold base configurations. Toolmakers, mold technicians, and die cast specialists rely on this type of component to ensure repeatable, accurate mold operation across production runs.

The TPL-320 is suited for use in both die cast mold and injection mold applications. Its taper lock and interlock design makes it appropriate for residential and commercial tooling environments where secure, vibration-resistant hardware retention is required. This component is commonly installed during mold assembly or scheduled maintenance intervals when worn or damaged locking hardware needs replacement. It ships individually, making it practical for targeted repairs without requiring a full hardware kit.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by trained toolmakers or mold technicians during mold setup or maintenance. De-energize and fully lock out all press and mold equipment before handling any internal mold hardware. Use calibrated hand tools appropriate for 10-24 threaded fasteners and verify seating and alignment before returning the mold to service. Follow the mold manufacturer's assembly procedures and applicable shop safety standards throughout installation.
