A mold core positioning device includes a cam member carried by a first mold segment that is configured to engage a cam follower carried by a second, cooperating mold segment. The cam follower is provided on a core slide to which an outwardly extending core member, such as a core pin, is connected. The core slide is movable toward and away from a mold cavity to move the core pin into and out of a position within the mold cavity. The cam member includes an extension cam surface and a withdrawal cam surface. The withdrawal cam surface includes a breakaway cam surface that causes slow retraction of the core pin relative to the molded part, and a retraction cam surface that causes more rapid withdrawal of the core slide and core pin after the core pin has been initially separated from the molded part.
