Ohio-based custom injection molder Venture Plastics has invested in a new press and inspection system to meet increasing demand across multiple industries.
The 55-year-old ISO/IATF 16949–certified molder has installed a Nissei 950-ton injection molding machine featuring Yushin automation and a 600L injection unit with 112-mm screw and 210-ounce shot capacity. This is the 19th press at Venture’s 82,000-square-foot Newton Falls plant, which features injection molding machines ranging in size from 55 to 1,440 tons.
- Quality control of Venture’s processes have been improved with the addition of a Zeiss O-Inspect 543 system, which offers:
- Broad measuring range: 31.5 x 23.6 x 11.8 in. (800 x 600 x 300 mm).
- Precision tactile probing: VAST XXT probing head has a minimum scanning force of 0.92 g for delicate parts and supports stylus heads down to 40 µm.
- Advanced optical sensor: Up to 12x magnification for maximum clarity and minimum distortion.
- Dynamic lighting: Optimal lighting for parts of different colors, textures, and finishes.
Venture purchased the new Zeiss system after installing a Zeiss Mass Accura CMM last year at its El Paso, TX, facility. Venture’s facilities serve industries ranging from agriculture, appliances, and consumer goods to power backup, rail, transportation, telecommunications, and more.
“This expansion allows us to better serve growing demand, particularly in the battery sector, which is seeing rapid growth due to the electrification of vehicles and renewable energy advancements,” said Alan Schultice, vice president of sales and marketing.
