East End Moulds

	In modern Mould Making technology the trend continues towards higher availability with more flexibility. In order to position ourselves as a leader in technology and offer our customers the highest standards in quality and precision we have recently purchased three specialized machines.
	In November 2001 we purchased the Roboform 35P with a 16 piece tool changer. This made East End Moulds an around-the-clock working shop. This machine has allowed us to increase our EDM Sinking time dramatically.
	In May 2001 we bought one of the first F1440 Charmilles Wire EDM Machines in Canada. This machine is very versatile and accurate. The machine is equipped with Hirschmann Tooling so that we can go direct from the Wire EDM to the Sink EDM or CNC Mill using the same tool holder and saving valuable set-up time.
	In May 2003 we acquired a high speed Milling Machine, a Mikron HSM 400 with a 7-Pallet Changer Unit. Our plan is to increase our electrode manufacturing so that we use valuable EDM time to its maximum. Because of the 42,000rpm Spindle, we are capable of cutting hardened tool steel. Cores can be finished in this way right on the Milling Machine and cavities can be machined closer to their finished sizes. This all leads to further time savings and speed efficiency which allows us to be competitive in the North American marketplace.
