Customer 1: Automotive — In-Mold Decoration
An automotive firm was seeking efficiency improvements in their molding and decorating process. The company needed to eliminate staging and moving parts around the facility, and to be able to print parts directly at the mold.
EPS provided a fully automated KP-08 with multiple independent heads, automated loading and unloading, and parts buffer capability integrated with the customer’s mold system. The solution also enabled efficient image changes for parts used in different applications.
Customer 2: Plastic Injection Molding — Multi-Color, Short Runs
A plastic injection molding firm was transitioning toward multi-color images and shorter print runs. Their existing single-color technology required 30–45 minute changeovers.
EPS provided an industrial inkjet solution delivering no loss in throughput, multi-color capability, reduced ink waste, immediate curing, and job changeover in seconds, not minutes. The system integrated with feeding systems and automated bagging and labeling, allowing the client greater flexibility and responsiveness while reducing labor and material waste.
