SERVICES
Scientific injection molding
We use scientific injection molding techniques to develop process characterizations that guarantee repeatable molding, despite expected variation in materials and processing equipment. Injection molds are put through our rigorous statistical validation process to achieve the same critical molding parameters, regardless of manufacturing location or machine.
Avoid production backlogs and improve time-to-market
Cut production machine downtime in developmental work with our dedicated facility and a focus on lean manufacturing, using electric molding machines and press-side automation.
Cutting-edge injection-molding techniques
The key steps involved in scientific injection molding include mechanical cycling, short-shot analyses and fill studies, viscosity curve and gate freezing, balancing of fills between cavities, high/low challenges, weight studies and use of cavity pressure transducers.
Development of robust processes regardless of manufacturing location
We build entire manufacturing cells in a dedicated non-production facility. These are then delivered to a production plant as a completely automated and validated system.
Ensure high-quality, repeatable production
Scientific injection molding offers consistent product quality, despite expected variations in molding materials and equipment.
Mold-specific rather than machine-specific process development
Our molds are put through scientific process development and validation testing, so that when the molds are sent to a production facility, the process is duplicated rather than developed from scratch.
Proven methodology with rigorous statistical validation
Nolato's systematic approach using the principles of scientific molding, coupled with rigorous statistical validation, ensures a repeatable process for the life of the program.
TECHNOLOGY
Advanced scientific injection molding technology
We use advanced scientific molding technologies to maximize manufacturing efficiencies and offer our customers a one-stop supply chain solution. To reduce costs, improve quality, and streamline our customer's supply chain, we invest in robot-assisted molding technologies for both thermoplastic and silicone injection molding, including multi-shot/multi-material molding, automated insert molding and micromolding.
PRODUCTION
Dedicated SIM facility to support global Nolato manufacturing network
Nolato's process development and training center establishes production processes for new molds to be introduced at our Nolato production facilities. It also supports scientific process development and validation for entire manufacturing cells, including machines, molds and automation.
