DA / DC / DK Machine Structure Overview

Compare Deboge DA, DC, and DK structure paths before discussing clamping structure, mold access, injection direction, and project fit.

2026-07-13 | STRUCTURE REFERENCE | Online reference

DA, DC, and DK are Deboge structure paths used to discuss different vertical molding needs. The letters should not be treated as a shortcut for final machine selection. The mold, material, insert loading, and injection layout still need review.

DA Series

DA Series Standard Vertical Injection Molding Machines use vertical clamping with vertical injection. This structure is often reviewed for standard insert molding, compact molded parts, and projects where vertical injection layout fits the mold concept.

Useful questions:

  • Does the mold layout match vertical injection?
  • Is the loading area suitable for the operator or fixture?
  • Is fixed platen, slide table, or rotary table more practical?

DC Series

DC Series Tie-bar-less Vertical Clamping Machines are defined by tie-bar-less vertical clamping. The key advantage to review is open mold access. Injection direction depends on configuration and should not be assumed.

Useful questions:

  • Does the product or insert need open side access around the mold?
  • Does the mold require fixture clearance that tie-bars may limit?
  • Which injection direction is being discussed for this project?

DK Series

DK Series Vertical Clamping Horizontal Injection Machines use vertical clamping with horizontal injection. This structure is useful when side injection, barrel layout, plasticizing capacity, or larger shot requirements need review.

Useful questions:

  • Does the mold require side injection?
  • Does the shot size or material behavior point toward a horizontal injection unit?
  • Does the project still need vertical clamping for insert positioning or mold workflow?

How to Use This Reference

Use this page to prepare a focused structure discussion. Do not choose a series only from the product category. Share product details, mold concept, material, loading method, and target production rhythm so Deboge can review the correct path.
