It is imperative in today's quick-to-market environment that molds arrive at the customer ready to make good parts.
This is why we test practically all of your new and reconditioned molds prior to shipment. In 2001 we expanded
our facility and added a 2,600 sq. ft. mold testing room and in 2005, we expanded the room to 3,600 sq ft.
The room is equipped with portable dividers to ensure confidentiality if multiple customers are visiting or testing
concurrently. We currently utilize six presses, four of which are Wabash hydraulic presses sized at 30-ton, 75-ton,
400-ton and 500-ton. Our 500-ton press has a full vacuum chamber and can accommodate molds up to 30” x 30”.

In 2003 we purchased a 100-ton horizontal Engel injection machine to further our automated process capabilities.
The machine is equipped to run with a stuffer box or strip feed. The ability to test a wide range of mold sizes is
possible due to the machine’s Tiebarless design. Automated brushing and knockout allow closer simulation of
your automated or semi-automated production environment. This machine is equipped for pneumatic valve gating as well.

In 2005 we purchased a 55-ton horizontal Arburg machine. This machine is used for Liquid Injection Molding. This machine allows us to test small to medium size molds. We also can utilize this press for our quick prototype system. With this resource we can provide sample LSR parts in about 10-14 days.

In 2006 we purchased a 110-ton horizontal Engel E-Motion machine. This machine is a full electric machine. It also utilizes Engel's patented Tiebarless design. This machine allows us to test medium to large Liquid Silicone molds.

In 2008 we added the capability to test LSR tools in a vertical press by purchasing an Arburg 55-ton machine with swivel technology. This technology allows the machine to run both horizontal and vertical applications. This works great for when overmolding is required.

We have also developed relationships with Desma, Maplan, and other press manufactures to where they are placing presses in our facility to allow use of them for customer trials and internal development. These presses usually range from 100 - 200 tons.
