Question:
I've heard before that your plates are interchangeable; what does this mean?
Answer:
Each side of our Mold plates have a precision ground finish, enabling us to provide our customers with a plate they can use in almost any Mold Base under any circumstance. If you need a new plate for any reason whatsoever, at any time down the road... You can call us and have a new plate shipped out right away.
PCS can also complete special machining on specific plates as long as we have a file to quote from. This has been a benefit to many of our customers in the past. For example, if in the unfortunate event a plate is scrapped or just needs to be replaced, a customer can send us a file, we can machine the plate, and ship a replacement within 3-5 days (depending on the machine work involved) which can then be placed into the mold.

Question:
Your standard Guided Ejection is installed in the Bottom Clamp plate of your molds. I'd like the pins installed into the Support plate instead. The locations are still ok; I'd just prefer it from the other direction. What type of delivery can I expect for a modification like this?
Answer:
Installing GE in the Support plate will take only 2-3 work days to ship. Specify on your PO or quote request what your preference is and PCS will quote and/or machine to your requirements.

Question:
Answer: Preferred 3D files formats include: 1. Para solid (.x_t) 2. STEP (.stp) 3. IGES (.igs)
2D files can be AutoCAD
format (.dwg, .dxf). Parts list and any other additional information are
useful and appreciated. Providing both 2D and 3D
files increases quote and order turn around and lead-times. PCS also requests final CAD data confirmation with each order, to insure customer satisfaction and accuracy.
