Continuous
Strip Molding
Continuous strip molding
(or reel-to-reel molding) is used to efficiently
manufacture and assemble small electronic
components and other parts that combine
tiny metal and plastic components. The process
uses a feed reel and a take-up reel: a continuous
metal "carrier" strip is precisely indexed
off the feed reel, passes through an injection
mold and onto the take-up reel. The molded
parts are delivered to customers still on
the take-up reel, and placed directly in
automated production equipment for hands-off
operations that add more components, install
covers, or form electrical leads, etc.
