We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Injection Moulds",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release UK plastics mould maker expands business from
Amtek Precision Engineers, which we summarised at the time by saying "Manufacturer of multi-cavity plastics injection mould tools has had to expand its workforce to cope with the continued growth of its business".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Moulding software reduces cycle times from
GTMA: "The Hipermoulding module determines which rapid manufacturing technique is best to produce specific component geometry and determine the location and shape of the cooling channels".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Kistler Instruments
concerning its Miniature multi-channel connectors for sensors
- take a look at Sensor installation in injection moulds simplified
which says: "Meeting requirements for more sensors to monitor plastics injection moulding dies' cavity pressure and temperature is much simplified by multi-channel connectors and single cable system".
Take a look also at the news release from Sodi-Tech edm, Machining centre mills to nano level accuracy,
as well as Wind generates more machine tool sales energy from Mike Page - editor's feature articles,
and Aluminium tools reduce volume moulding costs from Keronite.
