OUR IN-HOUSE TOOLING SOLUTIONS

HTI Plastics has a unique advantage that sets us apart from the standard injection molding manufacturer, our toolmakers. Our in-house machine tooling services and die manufacturing department allows us to reduce turnaround time on new production. Our goal is to obtain maximum production with minimum cycle time and prolonged mold life being accomplished in one simple process.

Machines and Services.

– CNC Mills
– EDMs
– Lathes
– Infinity Grade Option
– Care & Maintenance of Existing Molds
– Versatile Mold Bases to Reduce Costs
– Interchangeable Cavities
– Various Types of Prototyping

The result is a mold that effectively withstands the rigorous demands of high-pressure injection molding.

Tool Transfer.

In addition to HTI Plastics’ machine tooling services, we understand it can be a considerable undertaking to transfer your tools to a new injection molder. That’s why we make the process as seamless as possible for your peace of mind. Our tool transfer process includes a full inspection from our engineering and tool room teams upon arrival at our facility. 

In a traditional machining center, the work piece is clamped in a fixed position and the tool is loaded for machining by the tool changer in the main spindle. By contrast, in a transfer center the components can be (milled, drilled, threaded etc.) processed with just one set-up. The processing method of the work piece is therefore the opposite than in a traditional machining center. Work pieces are automatically clamped into position and are then moved, controlled by the CNC, from one tool to another. By this process, multiple work pieces are often machined simultaneously.

It thereby also reduces floor space, energy, servicing and labor requirements. The total costs (TCO) can be reduced significantly with this technology. With fixed-position spindles and by implementing special tools, you can achieve the highest levels of accuracy.
