Tool/mold transfers involve the movement of injection molds or tools between different machines or production lines. This could be due to various reasons such as changing production requirements, maintenance, repairs, or scaling up manufacturing capacity. Proper execution of tool/mold transfers is vital for maintaining product quality, minimizing downtime, and ensuring a smooth production process.
Tool or Mold Transfers for Injection Molding
Managing the Unpredictable
Why Consider a Mold Transfer?
Imagine a scenario where a vital medical device component’s injection molding process suddenly comes to a halt, causing a ripple effect throughout your supply chain, resulting in delivery delays and resource wastage.
