Sovrin were asked to adopt an
existing mould tool to deliver
improved product quality. The service and quality provided persuaded the customer to place a suite of new mould tools
with increased cavitation.
Project:
-
Provide
dedicated production cell
- Establish
capable in-process quality monitoring
- Meet the
technical challenges of post-moulding product handling
- Prevent the attraction of particulate due
to high static charge emanating from PP components
- Consider the
requirements for mould handling
Outcome:
-
Purchased new 350 Tonne Fanuc
moulding machine with robotic handling
- Completed validation of new 32
cavity hot-runner valve-gated mould tools
- Resolved previous quality problems and reduced cycle time on existing mould tool
- Installation of over-clamp cooling
conveyor resulting in an improvement in product precision achieved
- Ionised air equipment installed to eliminate static electric charge
- Installed
end-of-line automated packaging
- Installed
high-load gantry and hoists in toolroom
and cleanrooms
- Designed and manufactured 32 station
metrology fixtures
