At NPE2018, Zeiger Industries (Booth W4143) will be molding an automotive LED headlamp optic made from Dow’s DOWSIL™ MS-4007 Moldable Silicone on a Milacron – FANUC Roboshot a-S55iA with their new iHMI Controller running an M.R. Mold 2-cavity LSR mold with a single-drop cold runner system. The production cell will utilize an ELMET TOP 5000P dosing system; a Thermal Care air cooled EQ3A01 portable chiller; and a Yushin YC-100S-11-8 robot with an E-Touch Compact controller, a custom engineered end-of-arm tool, and a Yushin indexing conveyor. A virtual molding simulation of the filling and curing process will be provided by SIGMASOFT®.
Zeiger Industries’ LSR Plug-n-Play Conversion Kit is an economical way for thermoplastic molders who have excess capacity to either enter the LSR molding field or increase their LSR machine capacity by simply switching out their existing thermoplastic plasticizing unit with the Zeiger LSR Plug-n-Play Conversion Kit.
Zeiger’s Plug-n-Play Conversion Kit incorporates a Wexco 777 water-cooled barrel, Zpringlok™ LSR pre-closed check ring valve, ZSAR PM zero compression ratio LSR screw and their proprietary barrel/screw sealing device.
The DOWSIL™ MS-4007 material, like the rest of DOWSIL™ Moldable Optical Silicone portfolio, exhibits excellent performance in demanding environmental conditions and enables complex optic design that cannot be replicated with more rigid materials. To purchase this material or for more information, contact RDAbbott.

About Zeiger Industries
Zeiger Industries was established in 1990 because of a growing need for a better performing screw tip assembly. Owner Don Zeiger used his 30+ years of processing experience combined with his frustration with poorly designed products made from the worst materials. This led him to design the original 4-piece screw tip assembly, which evolved to become the highest performing screw tip the world has ever seen. This success lead Zeiger Industries to develop a better way of manufacturing through hardened tool steel screws. From building machines from the ground up, to developing our own computerized design and manufacturing systems, Zeiger will never settle for good enough. Zeiger Industries believes in manufacturing its parts in house which allows them to maintain the utmost in quality control. Visit www.zeigerindustries.com to learn more.
