Sensors are installed to detect the magnet's position and prevent the mold from closing if the magnet is misaligned; an indicator light activates when the magnet is correctly positioned, allowing the mold closing process to proceed.
Flash issues in two cavities are repaired, eliminating rework and enabling the use of the second cavity. This eliminates rework and gains an extra cavity (value: $6,500).
Repairs are performed in-house, avoiding an $8,500 supplier quote.
