Medical device maker expands micromolding machinery

Dynomax Inc., Wheeling, Ill., recently expanded its micro molding and tooling machine fleet to better serve the tight tolerance requirements of its medical, aerospace and defense customers, the company announced in a Dec. 14 news release.

Dynomax purchased all-electric injection and insert-molding machines employing 6-axis robots for repeatability of plus or minus 0.0001", and micro-injection units with 0.6 oz. shot sizes for near 100 percent accuracy and repeatability, according to the company. The investment also included several Swiss-style turning machines for manufacturing components from titanium, stainless steel and other metals, and enhanced EDM machines that employ advanced Swiss technology. The new machines can hold tolerances of plus or minus 0.0002" for micro-injection molding and turning, and plus or minus 0.0001" for thin-wall molding.
