The Quadloc-Tandem-Index (QTI) system, a new injection molding machinery technology has been introduced by the Husky Injection Molding Systems. This technology is foreseen to enables automotive Tier 1 and OEM customers to manufacture large interior and exterior plastic panels cost-effectively, using multiple materials in one machine. Michigan-based Lear Corporation is considered to be the first to have capitalized on the productivity, lower manufacturing costs and improved aesthetics provided by Husky's new QTI system and is planning to use the equipment for a variety of interior and exterior applications for its OEM customers. Besides this it is also considered to offer improved productivity, improved part quality, production flexibility and reduction in production floor space by more than 40%.
The QTI system considered the latest development in Husky's Quadloc machine line is designed to produce many large interior and exterior components of a vehicle. These are regarded to include body panels, instrument panels, fascias, as well as window and sunroof glazing. The system is gathered to integrate Husky's Tandem two-mold concept with its Index rotating center platen on a Quadloc two-platen press.
