Johnson Precision, the thermoplastic injection moulder and medical component manufacturer, has bought three Arburg injection moulding machines.
Two 55-ton models and a 28-ton model will replace existing machinery in the company’s 5,000-square-foot clean room in Hudson, with the 28-ton machine adding micromolding capability.
Replacing its existing injection moulding equipment, Johnson Precision’s new Arburg models highlight the company’s continued drive toward manufacturing excellence. Not only do the new Arburg machines represent a significant technical upgrade from the previous machinery used by Johnson Precision, they’ll also be used to refine standardised process engineering practices and LEAN initiatives used by the company.
“We’re making a substantial move towards using product families in our operations and with the acquisition of our new Arburg injection moulding machines, Johnson Precision has taken a significant step towards streamlining our processes even further,” said Jason Stein, manufacturing manager, Johnson Precision.
