How widespread is in-mold molding technology in plastic injection molding?
It is remarkable. Even an outsider to the world of plastic molding like myself
The revolutionary technology and its immeasurable impact on the production line,
It shows well. The beauty of their moldings and the wide variety of color options are just
I think it is fair to say that it is revolutionary.
The greatest weakness of in-mold molding is the removal of foil burrs.
Of course, it is not limited to in-mold molding, but also to general precision plastic injection molding.
The situation is the same. Deburring has become a major problem in production control.
(We have also developed deburring technology in this field, and are delivering equipment in turn.)
The more excellent the in-mold molding technology is, the more difficult it is to remove foil burrs,
This will be a major challenge. Solving this problem will make a significant contribution to cost and quality control.
Currently, foil burr removal is basically done manually and dry with a brush or similar tool.
Labor costs for deburring have skyrocketed, partly due to the influence of precision, and with it, the defect rate has increased, and the foil burr dust in the work environment cannot be completely removed.
The perfection of deburring technology is necessary for the development and stabilization of in-mold molding technology.
Star Cluster (Pleiades) has perfected and commercialized foil burr removal technology based on the cooperation of its customers.
We believe that the perfection of this foil deburring technology will lead to further development of in-mold molding in a large part.
Next, I will explain the ultrasonic foil deburring technology developed by Star Cluster (Pleiades).
The following equipment is an example of an automatic and ultrasonic foil deburring cleaning and drying system.
Our foil deburring equipment includes both automatic and manual devices.
Automatic is one of the VEGA series of multi-purpose and standard cleaning and deburring machines,
Become a dedicated machine for foil burr removal.
In-mold for cell phone cases, DVDs and other information equipment, etc.
The molded products are placed in special cassettes. The cassettes are placed on a conveyor at the entrance.
When placed, the cassette is automatically introduced into the ultrasonic deburring tank, and the ions
The water is immersed in water that has been removed.
The Star Cluster (Pleiades) has a unique feature of powerful ultrasonic irradiation.
The foil burrs are crushed and cleaned to the base, and the fill is removed. Here, the foil burrs are ground down and cleaned to the root, and the fill is removed.
The water is collected by the
This ultrasound was developed by the Star Cluster (Pleiades) and is used in the development of car engines.
to various automotive parts, computer parts, and other metals and ceramics.
It is a unique ultrasonic wave that is active in deburring.
Cassettes are then transferred to a drying tank where they are air-blow dried and conveyed to the outlet conveyor.
It comes out of the ar…
Processing time is about 2 minutes for a sample after one cassette is UV cured. A cassette of
The sizes are L type (400mm x 300mm) and LL type (600mm x 400mm).
Depending on the experiment, the number of pieces stored will vary. The workpieces can be placed vertically or horizontally.
Consumables are mainly water and electricity, which are easy to manage.
Because it is not a dry process, defects due to foil burrs and dust do not occur.
No change in quality. Very stable and controllable.
In places where labor costs are relatively low, manual machines, not automatic ones, are lined up between cassette tanks.
Only the movement should be done by humans.
The manual machine is lined up and uses our standard deburring device, PERION.
The following is a manual deburring device PERION.
