Tooling Precision Powers Injection Molding Performance
Quality Magazine recently sat down with Jeff Klabunde, Hoffer Plastics VP of Operations, to gain insight into the importance of maintaining a proactive mold maintenance program.
Klabunde discusses how consistent injection molding performance and part quality begins with proper tooling processes, not just production monitoring. Even minor variations in mold alignment, venting or wear can introduce defects and process instability over time, regardless of industry. By treating molds as long-term assets and implementing proactive maintenance, manufacturers can detect issues early, extend tool life and maintain consistent part quality while reducing downtime and cost.
