09 September 2008 : Smart starch cap

This is a fully hardened 2 imp tool, incorporating slides for the embossed engraving. The parts are moulded from high density polypropylene were the colour has been perfectly matched.�The cap incorporates a special sealing rib which stops any leakage from the bottle with out having to use a separate seal. The Mould tool uses a fully automatic unscrewing system. As the tool opens in the moulding cycle the internal cores automatically turn by means of a fixed helix spindle and gears. Once the mould tool is fully open and the internal cores are clear of the moulding the part is ejected by means of two air valves.

08 August 2008 : Micro Moulding

HMT was involved in a project for a new mobile phone camera. The customer had major quality problems with a tiny component they first sourced in China before asking for our help in the manufacturing of the part. The previous toolmakers failed to produce continous quality parts, therefore letting down the supply chain. HMT was producing the small, intricate, overmoulded housing, when approached to see if we could solve the manufacturing problems with this part. The tiny component had to be accurate within 0.01mm. the tight tolerance was important because of the 4 legs which were 0.5 x 0.04mm wide and had to fit inside our plastic housing and move freely without touching the surrounding walls. Within four weeks we had made the tool and supplied over 10,000 parts to America, therefore getting the project back on track.

HMT has invested in a charmiles Robofil 190. This new addition to our machining process allow us to improve on our already quick lead times, and still work within our tight machining tolerances. Wire erosion is a machining process that cuts profiles or holes with a small wire 0.1 to 0.5 mm diameter to a depth of up to 250mm. Surface finish and accuracy are of the highest standard 0.005mm and 0.3ra respectively. Machining can be un-manned allowing 24 hour processing. The Swiss made Charmilles compliments HMT's other Charmille EDM machines giving us the full eroison package backed up the with quality and reliability that comes with Charmilles and our specialy trained staff.
