Value added services
Injection moulding is not always a fully automated process. Machine operators are often required at the press and additional operations may have to be completed outside of the standard production cycle.
Additional services may be employed to reduce the initial cost to meet a particular budget or to achieve a product feature that cannot be attained in the standard tool configurations. This will be discussed with the injection moulding client throughout.
We offer the following range of secondary operations:
Drilling
The process of adding holes that may be too small to mould or are too costly to include in the tool configuration.
Milling
The process of creating cut outs or hole features that cannot be adequately completed by drilling.
Machining
The removal of surplus stock material to achieve a certain tolerance.
Ultrasonic Welding
An industrial technique whereby high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations are locally applied to workpieces being held together under pressure to create a solid-state weld.
Finishing
For the removal of surplus material by hand or finishing techniques to achieve the final finish required.
Plating
The process of vacuum metallising to produce a metallic coated finish.
Pad Printing
Also called tampography, is a printing process that can transfer a 2-D image onto a 3-D object. This is accomplished using an indirect offset (gravure) printing process that involves an image being transferred from the cliché via a silicone pad onto a substrate.
Full and Sub-Assembly
Our team are able to carry out light assembly duties when a finished component is made up of more than one part that need to be fitted together.
Pick & Pack Service
Bespoke packaging procedures are followed to customer requirements in our packing division.
