MGS Events February 2010 --------------------
02-2020: MGS Receives Two Awards for 2009 February 2010: MGS Receives Two Awards for 2009 January 2010: MGS Implements Multishot Molding at Mexico Facility The multishot manufacturing cell was added in September of this year. The cell utilizes a two-cavity mold in a Krauss Maffei machine. Multishot technologies are implemented using a UMS (Universal Multishot Systems™) 32V portable injection unit and 750mm rotary platen. The cell currently produces a two-component housing with a molded-in seal/gasket used in a metering device for the mining and construction industry. Due to increased demand for multishot molding services in that region of North America, the company will expand its multishot molding capabilities at TecStar de Mexico in early 2010. One particular project that is initiating the need to rapidly expand production is a five-tool, two-shot transfer program. The employees responsible for assembling, running, and maintaining the multishot press received extensive training at the company’s molding facility in Germantown, Wisconsin. The Germantown team also traveled to Chihuahua to assist with the set-up of the manufacturing cell and to provide additional training. Along with providing conventional and multishot injection molding services, the ISO 9001:2000 certified facility also offers insert molding, continuous extrusion shuttle blow molding, and value-added secondary operations. --------------------
