JDS Technologies, Inc. is an ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and API Q1 certified provider of rubber and plastic molded products for a wide range of markets and industrial applications. We proudly maintain a clean, modern manufacturing facility with the latest, most technologically advanced rubber and plastic molding machinery available. Our three rubber and plastic molding competencies include: Compression Molding, Transfer Molding, and Injection Molding.
JDS Technologies, Inc. has almost 25 years of experience specializing in manufacturing molded rubber and plastic products, including seals, gaskets, o-rings, hoses, and custom products in various rubber, plastic, and elastomer compounds. Our company’s reputation for distinction and quality is built on our ability to provide valued customers with the most effective design, engineering, and manufacturing solutions. JDS Technologies, Inc. is committed to consistently providing custom precision-molded rubber and plastic products that meet all your blueprint and tolerance specifications.
This molding method uses a press, heat, and pressure to compress loaded material into a mold. The process fills the mold cavity and holds it until cured. It’s cost-effective and widely used in the rubber and plastic industries for low- to medium-volume parts where faultless finishes and the tightest tolerances aren’t required.
For vertical integration, we make all compression-molding rubber prep/preforms in-house using roller mills, pre-formers, and extruders. We cool, dry, and separate the prep/preforms using cooling towers (VibraCools) to ensure production efficiency at the molding press.
This molding method also uses a press, heat, and mold pressure; however, a plunger forces loaded material through a passage into the mold cavity until it’s cured. While typically more costly and time-consuming than compression molding, transfer molding is preferred when the customer needs a complex product with tight tolerances while still maintaining needed production volumes.
This method of molding involves feeding material into a press, which is then heated and injected into the mold cavity until it’s cured. It’s considered the most cost effective and best choice for high volume production runs of small product sizes which require tight tolerances and little to no finishing.
JDS Technologies, Inc. uses a non-abrasive finishing method called cryogenic deflashing to remove excess flash from rubber products. Flash typically forms where the mold comes together, and excess molded material escapes the cavity during production. In this method, the cryogen, usually liquid nitrogen, cools the rubber product until the flash becomes brittle and falls off during tumbling. Cryogenic deflashing is a versatile, effective finishing method that maintains part integrity, critical tolerances, extends mold life, and reduces per-piece cost.
JDS Technologies, Inc. offers customers high-speed product identification through our laser marking system. Industrial material applications include various rubbers, plastics, and anodized metals. Virtually any text, bar codes, logos, and graphics can be delicately and accurately marked with this technology. This value-added process helps set our customers’ products apart from the competition.
JDS Technologies, Inc. also offers Inkjet and custom ink stamp identification markings when laser marking is not applicable or high-contrast text is required.
