Does Accudyne support both thermoset and thermoplastic forming?

Yes. Our systems are engineered to handle the different heating and cooling profiles required for both thermoset resins and high-temperature thermoplastics. 

Can automated part-handling systems be integrated?

Yes. We offer custom automation solutions, including shuttle tables and robotic interfaces, to improve return on investment and reduce unit costs. 

What level of thermal uniformity can be achieved?

Through multi-zone heating and precision-drilled platens, we engineer thermal performance around your curing and processing requirements to support tight, repeatable results.
