Guill Tool, West Warwick, RI, offers a new rubber/silicone extrusion crosshead with mechanically assisted gum space (MAGS) adjustment. The 500 Series is designed specifically for the flow characteristics and unique processing challenges of elastomeric compounds. The MAGS adjustment method allows the operator to make an adjustment from a single point using a common socket wrench. A visual indicator on the core tube allows the operator to see how far the gum space has been moved, making adjustments much more accurate and repeatable. The crosshead has a Center-Stage concentricity adjustment system that reduces pressure on the tooling, allowing easier and more precise concentricity adjustments without loosening the face bolts.
