Robotic insert loading and part removal provides:

• Repeatable molding cycles + low part-to-part visual and dimensional variation
• Reduced risk of part damage during handling
• Reduced risk of mold damage from human error
• Faster cycle times, less labor, reduced costs
• Options for part placement in special packaging

Our Engineers will work with you to develop the proper insert tolerances to achieve clean shut-offs and concentric positioning.

2-shot molding provides:

• Increased feature integration into one product
• Reduction or elimination of assembly steps and cost associated with post molding assembly
• Improved quality levels for gears requiring glass filled resins 

What is needed to mold a 2-shot precision plastic part?

• Precision built tools that can create the intricate shut-offs where the two materials meet
• Part design assistance to achieve mechanical or chemical bonding of the two materials

Check out our 2-shot case studies:

• Design required a gear and a reliable water shutoff mechanism 

• Design required a strong gear that would feed paper
