Single-shot multicolor silicone molding

A patent-pending, single-step LSR technology jointly developed by Toshiba Machine (Elk Grove Village, IL) and M.R. Mold & Engineering (Brea, CA) reportedly allows you to mold multicolor LSR products on a single-barreled press. Originally introduced at Plastec West in February, the technology was again demonstrated more recently in June at Plastec East on a Toshiba EC-NII all-electric. Key to the new technology is said to be Toshiba?s V-30 machine control?s ability to precisely monitor each step of the process. M.R. Mold & Engineering?s molds are specially designed to ensure accurate application of the colors, with neither gaps nor bleed-through.?CK
