January 2021
Well, as the big ball drops in a lonely Times Square this year, 2021 promises to present many changes. As in most new year’s, there will be some good changes and maybe some not so much, depending on your point of view. One thing for certain, there will be many things that will not change, your customers will still expect on-time deliveries, low ppm, and cost reductions. Every year we strive to find ways we can do more with less.
One of our customers approached us about a project to increase capacity for a part. They were using a single cavity tool and their customer was increasing the demand for this part. They asked if it was possible to make a multi-cavity tool so they can increase their production. Our multi-functional team, the customer, the tool shop, and FISA held virtual meetings over the phone and asked “what if” several times during this project. We eventually settled on an 8-drop manifold system design using our NH2 series hot runners. The tool passed the PPAP trial in full-automatic mode making 8 good parts each cycle. The customer is now ready for the ramp-up of the increased part requirement.
Contact me if you have a new project or an existing one that needs new tooling to improve manufacturability.
Until next month, be safe, have a prosperous 2021, and make good parts.
