| Making tools 'by halves' saves time and money | dpa magazine editorial |
| Toolcraft recently came up
with novel way to reduce the complexity of injection mould tools
and thus save money for its client, Golf-Tech. The original design of the injection mouldings for the golf ball server would've needed withdrawing parts in the tool, adding cost to the injection moulding tool. Instead, Toolcraft split the mouldings into two half cylinders, made them as tool inserts which fitted into one of their standard bolsters and also allowed for the potential to double throughput. The final mouldings were joined by ultrasonic welding. |

Toolcraft
recently made tooling for a drain pan pump which empties 14
litres of water per hour from air conditioners through small
bore tubes Toolcraft responded quickly to their client & via interactive design software quickly evaluated & resolved initial design problems. The water level in the condensation tray initiates the pump action so the unit had to be submersible. Low tolerance tooling & choice of suitable plastics were essential for a high integrity enclosure Alloy mould tools reduced manufacturing times & parts were made in just weeks. |

| Online selection
of injection mould tools The range of injection mould tools manufactured by Toolcraft Plastics of Swindon, UK, can now be viewed in abbreviated form on the web. Toolcraft's web site gives help on the different types of injection mould tools available with guidelines on typical applications and cost, together with help on when to use alloy rather than steel mould tools, which can cut costs of injection mould tools significantly. |

Toolcraft
designed & manufactured a 16 impression tool with removable
inserts in 8 weeks to enable its client to keep ahead of foreign
competitors Forced by instrumentation technology changes, production economies were made on associated injection mouldings (bosses etc) by making this versatile mould tool. Having more than 1 insert for each part, Toolcraft enabled production quantities to be matched to requirements, whilst retaining volume economy & tight tolerances. |
