New England Molding
From Molded Part to Finished Product: Secondary Operations
A finished component often requires more than molding. NE Molding provides secondary operations that help move your parts from production to a finished product under one roof.
Our capabilities reduce supplier handoffs, simplify project management, and help maintain consistent quality throughout your program.
Secondary Operations Capabilities
- Assembly: Component assembly and subassembly integration
- Sonic welding: Precision joining of compatible plastic components
- Heat staking: Secure installation of inserts and fasteners
- Pad printing: Application of logos, text, and graphics
- Painting: Protective, functional, and decorative coatings
- EMI/RFI shielding: Conductive coatings for electronic components and enclosures
- Metallization: Decorative, reflective, or conductive finishes
- Custom packaging: Protective and branded packaging tailored to your requirements
- Inserting: Installation of threaded inserts, fasteners, and other hardware into molded plastic components.
- Machining: Precision drilling, tapping, trimming, and modification of molded parts to meet final specifications.
- Deburring and deflashing: Removing excess material and improving finished edges
- Drilling and tapping: Creating precision holes and threads after molding
- Bonding: Joining components that cannot be mechanically fastened or welded
- Labels and nameplates: Installing product, warning, compliance, or identification labels
- Gasket installation: Applying seals, O-rings, foam, or adhesive-backed gaskets
- Functional testing: Verifying fit, operation, sealing, or electrical performance
- Kitting: Packaging multiple components together for production or final use
- Bagging and labeling: Customer-specific packaging, barcodes, and lot identification
Full Automation or Semi-Automation for High-Volume Programs
When production volume supports the investment, we can develop fully custom automated molding cells with robotics integrated directly at the press. Automation can improve cycle times, consistency, handling, and overall production efficiency while reducing repetitive manual operations.
Our team evaluates each program to determine where automation can provide the greatest quality, capacity, and cost benefits.
