Productivity doubled and scrap virtually eliminated in plastic part production

摘要

Gloucester-based Stratos Precision Engineering Ltd specialises in making high-quality plastic and non-ferrous components from a range of engineering plastics, including nylon, acetal/delrin, PEEK, PTFE, polyethylene, polypropylene and PET-P. When the company won a contract to produce 5,000 acrylic manifold blocks for a flow control device, it decided to invest in a modern clamping system based on a four-sided tombstone and indexing trunnion, supplied by Salisbury-based 1st Machine Tool Accessories.
