QUALITY PLASTIC PARTS REQUIRE QUALITY MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
To ensure our custom plastic injection molding meet your quality standards, you need to have the right tools and equipment for the job. At Thogus, we consistently invest in new plastic injection molding equipment to meet the evolving needs and standards of our customers.
Along with the right equipment, using the right plastic resins is critical for part performance and creates the best value. Our material expertise ensures you’re using quality materials for your products.
MOLD QUALIFICATION AND PART VALIDATION PROCESS
Thogus conducts a thorough mold validation process, adhering to FDA or PPAP standards. As part of our validation process, the mold is first taken through an extensive part inspection process, followed by exhaustive process sampling. This allows our team to validate that the mold is designed properly and adjust or send back to the molder (if needed) to ensure a more robust product.
We have an array of gauging and precision measurement tools that help measure your product dimension and quality criteria. These include:
- Calipers
- Micrometers
- Dial Indicators
- TRQ Wrench
- TRQ Tester
- HT Gauge
- Various Threads, Rings, and Plug Gauges
- Starrett Optical Comparator
- OGP Smartscope Flash Optical Vision Inspector
- Nikon MCAx 7-Axis Portable CMM Arm
- Nikon MoldMaker 3D Scanner
Once the mold is verified, our team will then ensure the tool is well maintained.
