rial is missing from the initial shot, or if there is any material remaining in the mold cavity after the mold is removed prior to closing for the next shot. By using this method, Dynomax is
able to maintain a high quality standard for their production by decreasing the number of rejected parts being made. Over the last few years, Dynomax has been investing in automation, including 6-axis Fanuc robots to extract product from the machines. Injection molding of thin wall silicone products does not allow the use of knock out pins or any other standard method of extraction because of the possibility of damaging the finished part. Using robots to remove these parts from the mold guarantees consistent and reliable with- drawal of the parts, maintaining a high level of quality. As a result of the strides Dynomax has taken to increase its capabilities in thin-wall micro-molding, they were able to eliminate the cracking, short shots, and weld lines which were formerly a big issue, and are now able to produce 100% good parts. Because of the non-existent scrap rate, Dynomax has incurred huge time and money savings from the increased rate of production, and the minimized loss of raw material and damage to mold tools. ME
