TMP adds automated rubber transfer molding system

Technical Machine Products has introduced a fully automatic rubber transfer molding system designed to increase production efficiency. Model T770 was designed to produce a rapid shot size of 20 pounds or higher, but is available in any size, the company said. The 770-ton press, with 32-inch by 32-inch platens, uses servo hydraulics to control the size and velocity of the shot. All areas of the new system are under vacuum and accurate temperature control, including the automated charging system. TMP transfer molding presses can be designed for use with silicone rubber or for a number of other rubber compounds, the firm said.
