At Southwest Quality Molding, we can produce complex injection molded parts from a wide variety of thermoplastic materials. The part shown here is the bottom of a case that is used by oil companies in a land exploration application. This component is made of 163 grams of high impact nylon with 13 insert molded brass inserts that are used in assembly of the complete case.
The case bottom measures 141.8 mm in length, 57 mm in width, 38.5 mm in height and is produced on a 230 ton Van Dorn injection molding machine. Cam-driven slide core pulls are used to produce the two 15 mm diameter holes that can be seen in the sidewalls of the component. We excel at developing innovative solutions to complex insert molding, overmolding, and coring challenges, while always minimizing costs without sacrificing part quality.
Dimensional and visual inspections were performed to verify conformance to all customer specifications. We can perform inspections and testing, in accordance with all major industry standards and customer specific requirements.
