Injection Works celebrated the arrival of four new replacement and one new additional molding machine to our Mount Laurel, NJ manufacturing facility. Presses sized 190-ton, 190-ton, 240-ton and 420-ton serve as replacements of retired assets, while an additional, fifth 120-ton press brings our total work cell count up to 21. The company expects to offer customers improved service levels based on the enhanced reliability, repeatability and efficiency that these investments will provide. The company’s Value-Adding Secondary Operations Department gains further capability with the addition of two new sonic welding units, one that features a 2,000 watt generator, and a second unit with an even larger 3,000 watt power generator. These new assets will allow Injection Works to provide customers a greater range of size and complexity of components that integrate sonic welding of features such as threaded inserts into their design.

The Injection Works Tooling Department recently installed an advanced, user-friendly tooling management software package from industry-leader ToolingDocs. Using this sophisticated software, Injection Works collects basic data from each production run from every mold such as start and stop dates and times, operating interruptions and part quantity produced. Additional valuable features that directly benefit our clients include prompting our staff with detailed preventive maintenance service reminders, including a variety of pre-set scope-of-work levels. As an added benefit, the system monitors inventory levels of specific mold service components – reducing asset downtime.
