Know How
Our engineers and designers are experienced in all phases of plastics molding.
They are equipped to work with our customers from the initial conception to the finished part, providing part design assistance,
prototypes, tool design, tool construction, and production parts.
Design
Our CAD system allows us to design tools using the most modern methods. The program that we use is
a 3D wire frame program with solids, IGES, DXF, DWG, Parasolids, Step capabilities. We have translation software
for most design systems. This gives us the ability to electronically communicate with our customer's design staff and
our preferred tooling suppliers. These tooling suppliers are fully equipped, including CAM capability, to produce both
prototype and production tooling and fixturing.
Our thermoplastics injection equipment ranges in size from 17 Ton
to 500 Ton machines with a shot capacity of 1/2 oz to 54 oz.
We produce Phenolic parts
as well as Thermoset injection molded parts. We also have compression and transfer molding capabilities.
Using
a complete line of the latest equipment and molding techniques, we mold all thermoplastic engineering materials and all injection
moldable thermoset materials.
Our injection molding equipment includes machines and auxiliary equipment to
enable us to mold FEP and PFA teflon resins.
Shuttle Molding
Shuttle injection molding
allows us to mold parts with numerous and/or complicated inserts and retain a stable molding cycle.
W-L
Standard Series-Set-up Molding
Standard set-up molding offers a low cost alternative to independent tooling
for parts made from nylon or acetal resins.
Capabilities include:
1 1/2"diameter cavitities
2 1/4"
diameter cavitities
3 5/8" diameter cavitities
4" diameter cavitities
Small Parts Molding
Our Arburg molding machines are excellent for the economical production of small intricate parts.
Multiple overmolding / multiple colors
Thermal Plastic Rubber molded over substrait
produced by W-L Molding.
Secondary Operations
A
majority of the parts that we mold require a secondary operation or are a part of an assembly. For this reason, we have an
extensive secondary and assembly department.
We also build special application equipment
and fixtures to perform these secondary and assembly operations.
Quality
Assurance Department
Our Quality Assurance Department ensures that the parts we produce meet customer
print specifications using integrated statistical process control and the principles of total quality control into every aspect
of the manufacturing operation.
Chemical and Test Laboratory
Our Research and Development
Chemical Laboratory tests and evaluates materials used in production. Incoming materials are randomly tested and checked against
the manufacturer's specifications upon receipt. All material certifications are kept on file and can be provided at customer
request. All regrind materials generated during molding are tested to verify specifications are met before they can be
reused. All hygroscopic materials are tested for acceptable moisture content before beginning to mold parts. Physical properties
of molded parts (color/density,breakage,etc.) can be tested to meet customer specifications. Any customer's questions
involving materials are resolved here, including REACH and RoHS compliance.
Customer
Service / Order Processing & Delivery
Customer service is a daily commitment
to the needs of our customers. Our engineers are available at all times to support our sales staff, providing information
and solving customer problems on both new and existing parts. We are committed to finding ways of improving the tools and
processes to produce parts more efficiently, with higher quality and less cost to our valued customers.
Our customer
service/order entry department, uses a computerized database, that can give our customers whatever information they require
concerning their orders.
