| T&K pulls from a deep pool of education, experience and diversity to offer a single source solution for your plastics needs. From project management, mold sourcing, validation and timely supply, to plastics molding production and associated logistics and control.
Our team offers the best possible service in the following fields:
- Product development
- Project Management
- Engineering
- Process Development
- Injection Molding
Product development:
T&K firmly believes in early involvement and attention to detail up front for all projects. We have a strong background in the use of preventative tools for a systematic approach to early issue identification and prevention, tool and product design for manufacturability and streamlined value stream mapping. All critical to successful and timely new product introduction (NPI) and considerably improved manufacturability and down-stream savings.
Project Management:
The Projects Management team, at ‘T&K’ has assisted in and managed multiple, multi-tool, simultaneous, trans-continental, product launches with excellent results every time. We understand tight timeline windows and repercussions associated with getting product to market, on time and to budget. The necessity for first time, on time delivery of quality is paramount and to that end, we offer the degree of program management and engineering experience levels necessary to achieve this.
We have the background, we have the structure and we only associate ourselves with a handful of proven, driven and trusted partnerships that have served members of our team over multiple program successes.
We Offer:
Controlled, tracked and timed phase approach Customized phases with defined inputs & outputs to ensure on time first time quality product
Formal Design Review, Requirements Review, Validation Procedures
Customized Reporting System
Scientific Tooling, Molding and Process Optimization
Excellent Transfer Mold Experience
Engineering:
Our background is in Polymer Technology and Plastics Engineering, encompassing all aspects of plastics molding and our manufacturing design structure is primarily driven from vast experience in lean, world class manufacturing environments.
We focus on Safety First (with workplace organization for clean safe operation a priority). Following safety is a commitment to efficiency, economics and best in practice manufacturing processes.
Process development:
When discussing process development we are talking about customizing best in practice technologies, techniques, policies and equipment to the customer and our mutual benefit. Mutual benefit is achieved when we can reduce / eliminate defects occurrence in a cycle time optimized process that consistently ensures highest integrity of product quality, at fast cycle, for the duration of production run – and is then repeatable on subsequent runs for the life of the project. |
We start the process with correct material selection at commencement of project. Tools are designed to suit the material with correct application of shrink rate to enable stable processing from not fighting materials natural flow patterns in order to achieve sizing. Steel safe applications can be identified for highly critical tolerances. With a good tool and the correct equipment – stabilization is so much more easily achieved.
Utilizing Scientific Molding Principals and
Techniques T&K:
- Ensures high quality, repeatable production
- Can automatically screen for anomalies that cause uncommon variation
- Use statistical monitoring for data driven production sorting
- Establish and open process windows to absorb common cause variation in guaranteed quality
- Can fault find for correction and enhance capabilities in older transfer tooling
- Can tailor individual tooling to a repeatable and stable process
- Reduce labor cost, inventory and lead time.
Injection molding:
T&K injection Division is relatively new (2019) nonetheless we are highly organized and comply with all our customers injection molding needs, offering speed, high precision, energy efficiency, noise minimization and repeatable stable quality..
Materials:
Quality assurance begins with qualification of material suppliers to assure compliance with customer requirements. T&K offers decades of injection molded plastic material selection experience. From basic polypropylene, polyethylene, thermoplastic elastomers, polycarbonate and abs through to filled polyamides and peek.
T&K is designed and managed by engineers with a keen eye for Just in time delivery Service. Productivity improvement and handling minimization is a fundamental part of our project design process. The result is a repeatable, reliable, labor and time efficient, clean handling, cavity separation friendly and ultimately cost effective system.
