Gibraltar TPL-323 Taper Lock Interlock Punch Die Hardware

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR TPL-323 is a taper lock and interlock mold blank and punch die set hardware component used in precision tooling assemblies. It accepts a 10-24 thread and is built to integrate into die cast and injection mold setups where repeatable, secure component locking is required. Measuring 1.38 inches in height, 1.38 inches in length, and 0.5 inches in width, this compact hardware piece weighs approximately 0.5 pounds. Toolmakers, moldmakers, and die maintenance technicians install this type of component during mold build or repair operations requiring precise interlock positioning.

The TPL-323 is suited for industrial tooling environments where die cast molds and injection molds require standardized hardware inserts. It is used in both new mold construction and retrofit or replacement applications. The taper lock and interlock design ensures consistent seating and alignment during repeated mold cycling. This hardware is typically selected when an OEM-specified or standard replacement interlock component is needed to restore or maintain mold geometry and function.
