Unlock Greater Efficiency and Flexibility with PCS Company’s Expanded F.I.T.S. Product Line
In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, adaptability and speed are critical to success. PCS Company’s F.I.T.S. is revolutionizing how manufacturers approach mold building and injection molding. By combining a reusable frame with interchangeable inserts, F.I.T.S. empowers molders, mold makers, and OEMs to optimize processes, save costs, and enhance production capabilities.
Now, with the introduction of new sizes and expanded product options, PCS is taking F.I.T.S. to the next level, offering even more versatility to meet diverse customer needs.
What is F.I.T.S.?
F.I.T.S., or Fast, Interchangeable Tooling Systems, is a modular tooling solution that separates the mold into two key components:
The Reusable Frame: A durable, one-time investment designed to support various projects.
The Insert Assembly: Customizable tooling components that are easily swapped out to accommodate different parts or product families.
This innovative system excels in flexibility, enabling rapid mold changes, quicker prototyping, and reduced tooling costs.
Why Choose F.I.T.S.?
The modular nature of F.I.T.S. delivers unparalleled benefits across the production chain.
For mold makers it offers reduced lead times, thanks to fewer plates and machining details, plus simplified and streamlined manufacturing processes.
For mold operators mold changes are completed in minutes, enhancing operational agility. In addition to significant storage space savings compared to traditional molds; operators receive lower unit costs for molded products, as only the inserts are replaced for each new product.
For OEMs F.I.T.S. offers accelerated time-to-market for new products and lower initial tooling costs, making prototyping and experimentation more affordable. With F.I.T.S. OEMs also gain the flexibility to test multiple product variations or adjust designs based on market feedback.
