Insert Molding
Ironwood Plastics has been in the insert molding business since 1980. We have partnered with progressive stampers and screw machine houses to handle the most difficult projects. We are familiar with many types of stamping and plating (including gold, palladium and tin). Ironwood prefers to run projects on a "turnkey" basis, where we handle all vendors involved. Types of insert molding include:
-
Horizontal molds with 6-axis or Cartesian robotics
-
Vertical molds with parting line and sprue injection on rotary tables (1A and 2B sides)- robotic or operator assisted
-
Reel-to-reel molding- discussed on a different page
-
Overmolding- discussed on a different page
-
Insert molding with secondary bending and/or singulating operations
