Traveling Reciprocator
A great solution for limited factory space or when large heavy molds are required
When factory space is at a premium, or when large heavy molds must be used, the Traveling Reciprocator can be the solution. The Traveling Reciprocator is equipment with drive wheels to move the machine over the stationary mold. Material source of gelcoat, resin and chop glass would all travel along with the moving unit. This would include space for solvent, gel coat, resin, catalyst and chop glass. This assembly would straddle the existing stationary molds. Track or guide rails would be placed on each side of the stationary mold. Traverse speed would be linked to the reciprocator application speeds. This would allow application of gel coat or chop lamination directly to the stationary mold below.
