Production flow
step
1Meetings
The product and processes are carefully discussed with the customer. This officially starts mold manufacture.
step
2Flow analysis
Cooling, filling, hold pressure and warping are analyzed on MoldFlow.
We work with all kinds of resin and can provide analyses, verifications and proposals for all concerns about molding.
step
3Design
The mold is configured on CAD/CAM. The CAM data is input directly into the machine tools.
step
4Materials preparation
The necessary materials and parts are identified, gathered, sorted. This is a very important step as it serves as the basis for subsequent processes.
step
5Numerically controlled wire electric discharge machining
“Cutting, chipping and carving”
Each part is processed as necessary.
step
6Polishing
Parts are polished on the µm level.
step
7In-process measurement
Dimensions are measured several times while processing is underway to make sure processing is being done right.
step
8Final polishing
Parts are subtly polished under a microscope.
step
9Assembly
Parts are assembled into the mold.
step
10Test shots
Test shots are done on a molding machine at our plant.
step
11Measurement
The products resulting from the test shots are measured using the latest technologies to verify dimensions are accurate.
step
12Shipping
Once all check items have been cleared, the mold is shipped to the customer where it will be used to produce new products.
