Vuteq Canada Inc - Injection Molding Machine Mold Vision System

由于汽车零部件制造商对成本竞争力的需求不断增长，制造商需要消除任何可能影响其满足客户需求能力的潜在停机时间来源。Vuteq加拿大制造汽车内饰，玻璃组装，通过真空成型和定制组装。真空成型/注射成型过程中的故障是最不可预测的，也是最昂贵的停机时间来源之一，在挤出新成型的零件后，来自模具和模具的顶销不能正确缩回，这会导致模具损坏和零件缺陷，从而导致模具/模具关闭时，这些销弯曲/压坏。这导致了昂贵的停机时间来修复模具表面，以及在检测到问题之前畸形零件的损失。Conestoga的研究团队将研究一系列技术，以提供一个不可收放顶销的早期预警系统，从而在模具损坏之前停止成型/成型过程。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.
