EPP sunvisors are a specialty part requiring a unique machine design for efficient production. Some of the requirements are ease of loading insert components. Reproduction of close tolerance parts with zero flash. Blemish free surfaces without core vent marks.

The TVP series vertical machines were developed working with molders to solve the problem encountered in making this type of part. There are more than 60 units in production at traditional molding shops and tier one suppliers.

A relatively new development in sunvisor production is the half visor or "clam shell" design. The half visor design takes a full visor and splits it through the middle lengthwise, allowing the part to be molded without inserts. The inserts are installed after molding in a secondary process. The surface quality and tolerances are similar to the full visor. Teubert developed the TSM series horizontal machine for this process.
