SelfLube manufactures 1 millionth wear plate

SelfLube, a manufacturer of mold and die components in Coopersville, Mich., has made its 1 millionth wear plate. The wear plates guide and control the moving parts in complex tools such as metal stamping dies and plastic injection molds. They come in a variety of sizes to handle very heavy loads.

The wear plates are adjustable by grinding a bit off the bottom. With the addition of graphite plugs, they become self-lubricating.
