Built from the part up

As your robots tend their molds, the tooling in between decides how well the bay runs. True North designs and builds that tooling from the part up — modeled to your specific mold and press rather than adapted from a clamped system. You get a tool that fits the job, comes apart the way your team expects, and can be rebuilt from files you own.

Most of our EOAT work is for injection molders, from simple mold-tending vacuum tools to tools that degate, load inserts, sense parts, and present to laser-mark or post-mold processing right at the press. Vision inspection and positioning, when a cell calls for it, are programmed by our controls partner Kyle Israels of KAI Enterprises.

Speed matters for your press and the program it supports, so we keep lead times competitive and can turn an urgent tool in as little as 2–3 days (3–4 weeks is our preferred standard). Every tool ships with its full design and replacement-part files — so when something wears, you can make your own spares instead of waiting on us. If a tool needs one of us there at startup, we come out. Each one is backed by a one-year warranty under normal use.
