So Chris, if you discounted the Medium Machine molder because they advertised it for "short" runs. I was wondering what about the wholly hand operated and clamped machine at Injectionmolder.net screams "production machine"?
Apples to Apples Machine Comparison: Injectionmolder.net, Medium Machine Shot capacity: 1cu, 3.8cu Tool clamp force: ? (manual screw), 12ton hydraulic piston Injection force: ? (hand lever), 12ton air/hydraulic piston Mold size: 4"x2.6"x2.5", 8"x8"x4" Cost: $1,500, $2,900 Cost per cubic inch shot capacity: $1,500, $763 I am in no means a champion of the Medium Machine molder. It's a bit clunky and I can think of several ways to improve on it's design and cycle times, but it's a Ford production line compared to the Injectionmolder.net hobby machine.
