Value-Added Services

We offer a wide array of secondary and value-added services such as Ultrasonic welding, installation of inserts (whether heat or ultrasonic), assembly of both molded and purchased components, pad printing and heat transfer. We strive to provide our customers with the most cost effective solutions.

Finishing equipment is placed press side and done within the cycle of the molding machine. In cases when secondary operations exceed the cycle of the molding machine, secondary operations are moved to the finishing department. PTA has the ability to setup a complete work-cell press side where a multitude of tasks can occur simultaneously. All of the painting, shielding, silk-screening and hydrographics are managed by PTA through an outside source.

To ensure complete consistency, PTA created an electronic job book that is present at every work station. This is home to all information related to the manufacturing of a part, including set up instructions for the molding machine, water diagrams for the mold, work instructions, data collection, packaging and the quality plan. Our electronic job book is tied into PTA’s ERP system and keeps track (real time) of any engineering changes, REV levels, cycle times and scrap.
