For years now, my husband and I have felt connected to the men and women who serve our country in the Armed Forces.

The moldmaking industry takes part in a movement to bring the gift of technology and communication to our Wounded Warriors.

It is time to begin to rebuild capacities and get the highest utilization out of your current shop equipment.

A group of 11 dedicated employees—several with more than 10 years with the company—are able to keep overhead costs down and pass those savings onto its customers.

In 2004, Industrial Molds Group took the first steps toward integrating automation to reduce both costs and turnaround times.

With an average leadtime of eight weeks, Mold Craft, Inc. (Willernie, MN)—this year’s Small Shop Leadtime Leader Award Winner—builds tight-tolerance, high-volume, multi-cavity and multi-mold projects that produce small, intricate, precision plastic parts.

The use of automation continues to rise as mold manufacturers respond to industry demand of constantly shrinking leadtimes. Manufacturers and suppliers have taken action with better, faster equipment and processes.

 Advances in EDM technology—including increased automation and combining machining processes to get the job done as efficiently as possible—help EDM stay afloat and keep moldmakers successful.

Erowa Technology (Arlington Heights, IL)—a major North American manufacturer of standardized workholding and robotics systems for the machining industry—will unveil its Erowa Robot Compact.

After standardization, automation will create the largest increase in profits that any one area can produce.

Automation is coming into the forefront as moldmakers are on the hunt to automate with software and equipment to streamline processes for optimal productivity—and quality.

EROWA Technology’s (Arlington Heights, IL) Fine Tooling System (FTS) provides a high precision chuck and pallet system in a small compact design for today’s micro machining needs.

EROWA Technology (Arlington Heights, IL) would like to introduce it’s Fine Tooling System (EROWA FTS) which provides a high precision chuck and pallet system in a small compact design for today’s micro machining needs.

EROWA Technology (Arlington Heights, IL) has designed the perfect cell to deal with those heavy work pieces by integrating their ROBOT Easy, EROWALift 250 and Modular Work Holding (MTS). The Robot Easy accommodates pallets from 50mm to 500mm and weights up to 550lbs.

Creating a powerful manufacturing cell from a one-minute palletization solution.

EROWA Technology will display the perfect cell to deal with those heavy workpieces by integrating their ROBOT Easy, EROWALift 250 and Modular Work Holding (MTS) at IMTS.

EROWA Technology (Arlington Heights, IL) introduces its Fine Tooling System (EROWA FTS) which provides a high precision chuck and pallet system in a small compact design for today’s micro machining needs.

This moldmaker’s decision to venture into the rapid tooling market added up to rapid growth—and the winning of the 2006 Leadtime Leader Honorable Mention: Small Shop for the second year in a row.

Using a group rather than one person and changing the order of inspection is a win-win for this moldmaker—repeatable results with no rework.

EROWA Technology (Arlington Heights, IL) will highlight its many automation solutions.

EROWA Technology, Inc. (Arlington Heights, IL) has expanded its manual lifting device product line with the introduction of the EROWALift 250, which offers the same dependability and flexibility of the original version, along with several added benefits.

Wherever metal is cut in production, there are chips.

EROWA Technology introduces the versatile ITS Chuck 100P.

Macro pallet-mounted gage balls reduce overall costs in electrode machining/manufacturing and reduce leadtime by 25 percent.

Hermle (Franklin, WI) and Erowa will highlight the latest in automation technology at the Wisconsin Manufacturing and Machine Tool Expo at their exhibit (Booth #1321). It will feature a Hermle C 30 U in conjunction with an Erowa Robot Easy™. The machines will not be connected, so as to permit close-up viewing by show attendees who can then discuss their individual needs with booth personnel.

EROWA Technology (Arlington Heights, IL) offers the ProductionChuck 210 to increase productivity on machine tools such as lathes, mills and grinders.

Innovation in both the design and moldmaking processes has helped one moldmaker stay ahead of the game.

A moldmaker and its automation supplier team up to create a global competitor.
