Riggers from Guy M. Turner are shown here moving in one our two new Roboshot injection molding presses.  These new machines are replacing 230 Ton presses.  Both presses were installed and ready on 12/27/20 by the combined efforts of our maintenance team and Neal Atkinson with Diversified Electric.  Thanks to Milacron Marketing for providing the equipment.

As a part of our continuous improvement we offer Moldflow® analysis to simulate theoretical filling patterns, pressure gradiants, and plastic material behavior in molding.  This allows us to optimize gate location and part design to help avoid sinks, weld lines, gas burns, short shots and other common undesirable characteristics.  This detailed analysis can also lead to lower costs and faster lead time.  Additionally, the part can be evaluated for its theoretical cycle time, carbon footprint, embodied water and other factors. It is important that we provide the software with good data input and use our experience and training to interpret the results.

Our Milacron Roboshot machines are equipped with AI mold protect which automatically senses changes to torque used to close and open the mold and alerts if any plastic or other lubrication/mechanical problems are present that might damage the mold under high clamp pressure.
