Precimold has standardized on
Engel molding machines. Almost all of its Engels are equipped with parts
removal robots or sprue pickers. |

A CNC mill is used primarily
to make EDM electrodes, but also precision machines molded parts. This
picture shows the making of electrodes to EDM cavities for aspherical polycarbonate
lenses. |
|
Precimolds molding machines
include a 300-tonner. This picture shows a new Nissei 7-tonner used for
micromolding. |

An example of an eight cavity
family mold. Each of the eight different parts, designed by Precimold,
required a cam action to interlock with each other. The final assembly
had no screws or other fasteners. The finished product, part of a subway
ticket validation system, also was assembled at Precimold. |
|
Examples of: Two colour molding,
Insert molding and Ultrasonic assembly. |
|
Examples of: Hot stamping and
precision injection molding on computer controlled machines.
Inspection of parts after 4 hours,
24 hours and 7 days guarantee that all parts shipped are to specifications. |

Precision mold making using
modern technologies.
6 cavity mold combining spindle
unscrewing with 24 cams.
Cost and time saving mold inserts,
used in master mold frames for short and long production runs. |
|
Precimold designs and builds
SHARED MOLD FRAME production tools. They consist of standardized mold frames
and core/cavity inserts that can be square, rectangular, or round, like
this one for a glass filled polyester gear. |

MICROMOLDING. The part in the
centre is a wristwatch component. The white parts surrounding it are .0005g
'plugs' molded with a four cavity subgated mold. Surrounding those are
red .0050g 'standoffs' molded with a twenty cavity subgated mold, each
part with a cavity identification number molded in. |
|
Small, precise, complex difficult
parts. |
|
Insert molding. |
|
Hot stamping. |
|
These polypropylene cosmetics
containers are hot runner molded. Precimold runs them with NO taper inside
and NO taper outside. STRAIGHT! |

Top right hand photo shows parts
that each weigh one half of one thousandth of a gram. Below that is a
30 and 25 per cent glass filled nylon bearing retainer where the mold has
run for 20 years. The mold has yet to show signs of wear. |
