Mould management

Customer tools are stored on numbered racks in the mould store, maintained between runs and released to production against a job card. Where a customer funds a mould, that mould is held for their production and is not used for a third party.

Process control

Resin lot, barrel profile, clamp tonnage, cooling time and shot weight are recorded against the production batch. Dimensional checks are taken at first article and at defined intervals through the run, with the results kept with the batch record.
