• Robert Joyce says gas-assisted molding is the best way to solve tough challenges of injection molding wood-plastic composite balluster spindles - the long pieces that run down vertically to support a railing on a deck or stairway. "It's the perfect application for gas," he said Jbne 16 at an open house for Gain Technologies Inc., which is supplying gas-assist technology for the project. Gain could get into the spindle molding business if Joyce wins commercial orders. Gain would handle initial molding at its new, 34,000-square-foot headquarters in Shelby Township, near Macomb, Mich. Gain has six injection presses available for mold tryouts and limited production.
