Case Study | BT

British Telecom came to AV Injection for sampling, when we initially opened the tool we noticed that there was a heavy burn stain on the fixed half texture, this sort of stain is visible on the show face of the component. To solve the problem the fixed half was sent away to have a light sand blast to bring back a fresh clean finish to the grain and texture.

                        
                                                

Do the parts consistently match the customers NEW approved sample? Has the burn mark on the tool face shown any signs of reappearing? And finally does it require any further venting etc. At the end of the production run, the tool was signed off, and a setting sheet was filled out so the exact settings can be used next time.

Case Study | Land Rover

This high tech Landrover tool came to AV Injection for initial tool trailing, the tool consisted of two hydraulic side actions/cores, one mechanical core, ten drop hot runner manifold, with a total tool weight of 6.3 tonne.

On initial start up it was apparent that there was a gate in-balance, as one impression was only 80% full. We removed the tool and re-checked the probe heights in relation to condition, seating and height position. We found that on tip was 15,000th too far forward, which restricted material flow to the cavity during the injection phase, which we corrected.

Landrover was on site during the trial and highlighted a slight gas / last point of fill which they wanted improving. We improved this by reducing lock, introducing injection profile, switching over to second stage earlier. We produced 30 samples and for Landrover for them to take away and test , all parts fitted correctly passing their stringent quality control, and we were delighted when we were commissioned for the full production run for the initial pilot build.

Case Study | BBC

We were approached to design a mould tool from the BBC to make a Balloon Knotter component for a very special TV programme, Tomorrows World and one of the presenters was Raymond Burke? The project had to be kept under cover, no one was to know what the component was to be used for, as a consequence confidentiality agreements (now expired) were signed. 

We made the mould tool for the Balloon Knotter in our in house Tool Room tested it and handed over the completed project to the Tomorrows World team at the BBC.

Finally the show aired and as usual Raymond Burke presented and introduce several items and asked the live audience and viewers what they thought the items were used for? No one guessed correctly that the very very secretive product was in fact just a Balloon Knotter!
