Market Background:

As one of the important processes of modern manufacturing, injection molding provides various complex injection molding structural parts, functional parts and precision parts for special purposes for automobile electronics, consumer goods, molds, household appliances, food and other industries. Plastic products and injection molds are usually faced with the challenges of diversified materials, complex structures and rapid mass production.

At the same time, the industry applied in injection molding parts is oriented to the C- Side and the product iteration is fast, which forces every link from research and development to processing to mass production to obtain data more quickly, at the same time, the quality protection of product precision and performance is taken into account. In addition, the trend of digitization in recent years is also accelerating.

The emergence of optical measurement has brought a turning point for the above challenges. As a key link in intelligent manufacturing, optical measurement provides effective data support for R & D, design, production quality assurance, etc, and realize the rapid detection of parts.

Hot Topics:

The size of injection molding parts needs to be strictly controlled within the error range, otherwise the subsequent Assembly of the product will be difficult. However, injection molding parts is prone to deformation or rebound. In order to detect such parts, users often need to fix them to the clamping position through measuring brackets to simulate the Assembly state and then measure them. Is there a simpler and more efficient measurement method? For example, virtual clamp? At the same time, for some precision injection molding parts, how to capture areas that are difficult to go deep during detection?

I believe many users still face the following challenges:

√ how to solve the problem of production and manufacturing from research and development to mass production to ensure the quality and production efficiency of parts

√ how to unify measurement standards and reduce the judgment of measurement results by human factors

√ cost reduction and efficiency improvement, how to speed up the measurement workflow through virtual clamping

Zeiss solution:

·ZEISS ATOS (optical measuring equipment) how to quickly obtain the surface data of parts, targeted mold correction, effective product development, unify the measurement standards of upstream and downstream industrial chains, and speed up the measurement efficiency.

·ZEISS INSPECT (software product) can quickly detect GD & T, simplify workflow, and combine virtual clamping technology to virtual clamping in software, simulate clamping status, reduce the time cost of tooling fixture and data iteration.

Exciting Preview:

At 14:00-15:00 p.m. on July 18, 2024, Wei Wei, an application engineer from industrial quality solutions department of Carl Zeiss (Shanghai) Management Co., Ltd, will share the new development of optical measurement application in injection molding industry.
