Capability for multi-material sandwich molding has been added to the TM series of toggle To alternate back and forth between two states.

toggle - To change a bit from whatever state it is in to the other state; to change from 1 to 0 or from 0 to 1. This comes from "toggle switches", such as standard light switches, though the word "toggle" actually refers to

 head with shorter connecting flow channels that provide more accurate injection control. Shorter channels minimize the volume of the melt flowing through the concentric nozzles, increasing speed and accuracy of material changeover (programming) changeover - The time when a new system has been tested successfully and replaces the old system. .

The hydraulic control system has been redesigned so that injection of the core material begins while injection of the skin material is in progress. This method is said to yield blemish-free surfaces and uniform distribution of the core material throughout the flow length. It also ensures constant flow-front velocity without peaks or sharp pressure drops, preventing the appearance of witness marks. An additional pump speeds nozzle shut-off.
