Might as well get it out there. Minor disaster has struck and we have had a small delay. We hate Murphy….

Last week the housing mold was damaged when setting up for the volume production run. We had hoped the repair would not be too bad and spent the last week trying to get it done, but it has turned out to be a total loss and part of the mold has to be re-cut completely. For those that understand injection molding this is not a process that can just be hurried with extra effort. It can take literally weeks to cut a detailed mold. It is a tedious process, but it is a local vendor and they will press hard for us. It will be at least 2 to 3 weeks before we can get the tool back on the machine and make some parts. On the bright side that is closer to when the motors will be available so we will have systems not long afterwards.

No one is more annoyed than I am. At least it is not a technical problem and is just an oops. We press on and still will be within a reasonable amount of time of the original estimate for release.
