Micro Moulding A big deal at aki
A recent arrival at aki’s Hereford headquarters is a
Babyplast micro-moulder. The smallest machine to be commissioned on
the site, it gives significant advantages in a number of ways.
Production of very small “micro” components is only one
of its benefits. Fast change over and small tool sizes mean that
some components, previously produced on multi-cavity tooling, can
be brought into production faster, which can be a great benefit for
product development. aki’s new Babyplast micro-moulding
capability has also been put to good use producing small mouldings
that would not have been cost effective to run on a standard
injection moulding machine. These cost savings come from the much
reduced tool fitment and machine set up times, as well as the cost
savings in tool manufacture and material wastage on start-up and
changeover. Smaller economic quantities are also a feature of
this new approach to moulding
The machine can easily, and quickly, be set up in aki’s class 10,000 clean room facility for medical mouldings.
