Customer specified moulds

Building on its extensive experience in developing customer specified moulds, Axxicon Mould Technology is set to use its skills and know-how to develop the best possible customised moulds for high-end disposables, infocom and pharmaceuticals / medical devices.

• High-end disposables

Axxicon Mould Technology is a worldwide supplier of mould systems for the production of high-end disposables, concentrating on supplying bicolour moulds, unscrewing moulds and in-mould closing moulds. In the disposables industry, added product value is dictated by content rather than the component itself so the lowest cost per shot is crucial. Axxicon moulds achieve high mould productivity and the lowest cost of ownership through realising low cycle times, cap closure within the mould as well as high reliability and uptime.

• Infocom

The Infocom market requires complex plastic components with first class cosmetic appearance and critical dimensional accuracy. And product life cycles are extremely short. Axxicon Mould Technology offers effective mould design, engineering and manufacturing of customer specified moulds in an industrial way to help substantially reduce time to market. In addition, Axxicon Mould Technology offers you expertise in very complex moulds for front- and back covers, battery lids and optical parts like windows. Global part-to-part consistency, 100% cavity to cavity interchangeability and repeat mould series for world products.

• Pharmaceuticals/Medical devices

Axxicon Mould Technology has developed high performance multi-cavity moulds for a wide range of pharmaceutical and medical devices. Working in close cooperation with customers from all over the world Axxicon Mould Technology develops moulds for medical devices that comply with the most stringent requirements.

Standardised moulds

In addition to its new focus on customer specified moulds, Axxicon Mould Technology will continue to produce and develop its complete range of proprietary modular mould systems for high speed production of standardised products. Key amongst these are:

• Optical storage
Axxicon Mould Technology is world leader in mould systems for the production of CDs, DVDs and related products for optical data storage. The Axxicon CD mould, first developed in the 1980s, is still setting the standard in disc replication. With strong industry growth and the development of new formats such as DVD, Axxicon has expanded its range of moulds for the production of all types of optical media and data storage systems.

• SmartCards

Axxicon Mould Technology is the world leader in SmartCard moulds and systems for a variety of applications. The proprietary Axxicon SmartCard injection moulding system for 2, 4 and 8 cavities single face as well as stack injection of SmartCard bodies is used extensively in infocom (pay
