Vuteq Canada Inc - Injection Molding Machine Mold Vision System

由于汽车零部件制造商越来越需要尽可能具有成本竞争力，因此制造商需要消除任何可能影响其满足客户需求能力的停机时间。Vuteq Canada通过真空成型和定制装配生产汽车内饰，玻璃装配。停机时间的最不可预测且最昂贵的来源之一是真空成形/注射模制过程中的故障，其中来自模型和模具的顶出销在顶出新形成的部件之后不能正确地缩回，这导致在模型/模具闭合时对模具和有缺陷的部件的损坏，从而弯曲/压碎这些销。这会导致昂贵的停机时间来修复模具表面，以及在检测到问题之前变形零件的损失。Conestoga的研究团队将研究一些技术，以提供一个非缩回顶针的早期预警系统，使成型/成型过程在模具损坏发生之前停止。这将最大限度地减少停机时间，并确保Vuteq仍然是一个极具竞争力的高质量汽车零部件制造商。

Due to the ever-growing need for auto-parts manufacturers to be as cost-competitive as possible, manufacturers need to eliminate any potential source of downtime that would affect their ability to meet the demands of their customers. Vuteq Canada manufactures automotive interior trim, glass assembly, through vacuum forming and custom assembly. One of the least predictable, and most costly sources of downtime are failures in the vacuum forming / injection molding process, where ejector pins from the forms and molds do not retract correctly after ejecting a newly formed part, which results in damage to the molds and defective parts when the form/mold closes, thereby bending/crushing these pins. This results in costly downtime to repair mold surfaces, as well as losses in malformed parts prior to detection of the problem. Conestoga's research team will examine a number of techniques to provide an early warning system of non-retracted ejector pins, to allow the forming/molding process to be halted before damage to the mold occurs. This will minimize downtime and ensure that Vuteq remains a highly competitive, high quality manufacturer of automotive parts.
