Mold Injection Oxnard When he moved to Los Angeles 60 years ago, Ray LaPorte had no intention of becoming one of the leading molders of electrical connector insulators for the military. All La Porte really had in mind when he moved his family west from Rhode Island back in 1951 was to be his own boss. Thus, with a $22,000 machinery investment, he set up shop with partner Karl Bischoff, whom he had met while working as a machinist at a jewelry manufacturer in Providence. From this partnership, RAKAR was born. Rakar continues as a family owned & operated business with Walter’s son Daniel Pittman, functioning as the companies Vice President & Operation Manager. Daniel has been at Rakar since 1994. In the past 16 years, Daniel has worked in every department of the company. While working full-time, Daniel completed his MBA in 2006. Rakar maintains their roots as an insulator specialist however; the company is branching out with new proprietary products currently under development!
Thermoplastics & Thermoset Materials
Rakar has the knowledge & capability to mold many types of thermoplastic materials. We typically use engineering grade resins ranging from Nylon & Polyester to high performance resins such as PEEK & LCP. Having produced small, medium & large production runs of thousands of different products, Rakar can meet your specific injection molding requirements from simple to complex sizes, shapes & tolerance. Thermoplastic Resins having specific properties are compounded with additives such as reinforcements (glass or carbon), U.V. inhibitors, flame retardants, conductive elements, lubricants or toughness agents, to attain desired properties.
Molding Services A manufacturing process for producing parts from both thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. Material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed & forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the mold cavity. Injection molding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of parts, from the smallest component like small Lego accessories, to entire body panels of cars. Injection molding is used to create many things such as wire spools, packaging, electrical connectors, bottle caps, pocket combs, and most other plastic products available today. Injection molding is the most common method of manufacturing parts. It is ideal for producing high volumes of the same object.
Capabilities Insert molding is a valuable, yet comprehensive process, that should only be trusted to a quality molding company. This meticulous, custom molding process has many variables to consider. One question molders are often addressing is how to keep inserts, which may need a specific orientation, from spinning or moving as the material is injected into the mold. Our team here at Rakar has tackled & achieved success over all Insert Molding issues we have faced for the past 60 years. Part of our success is all of our molded parts are continually checked throughout the molding process. This in-line continuity testing ensures that quality, durability, and tolerance are never compromised. In addition to In-Line Testing, the parts are sent back to inspection for “Final Shot” approval.
