The Customer:

Cost-sensitive customer with high quality requirements

The Task:

Making slidable buttons

The Problem:

The buttons are made as two component parts. They are subjected to 100% testing, which must be cost-competitive.

The Solution:

Set up a high-precision production system with testing by weighing, in a loop that does not impact on cycle time.

The Outcome:

The electronic parts are produced on a KM 80-390 CX. They are demolded by an IR 200 F industrial robot mounted on the floor beside the injection moulding machine. To check that both components have been correctly injected, the robot removes the sprue and then deposits all parts from one shot on the scale. Non-OK parts are diverted to a reject chute. OK parts leave the cell via four, cavity-specific chutes.
