General project parameters
The order comprised a tool set of 20 injection moulding tools for the automotive industry. The moulds were manufactured, initially sample-inspected and accepted in China.
Along with the tight time schedule up to completion and stiff requirements placed on tolerances, the global alignment of the project demanded a maximum of planning. Cooperation extended across 3 continents and 5 countries - China, Germany, Great Britain, Morocco and Japan.
Following approval, the injection moulding tools produced in China were sent by sea to Morocco. The Asmoplast project team travelled to Morocco to support the customer to ensure that the series production proceeded smoothly once the moulds were in operation. The outcome was optimal functioning of the series production of the injection moulded parts.
Description - Injection mould
- Tool making in China.
- Manufacturing twenty 2x and 4x point injection moulding tools.
- An HTCS130 steel was used for small, non-cooled deployments of the tools.
- INCOE hot runners were used for all tools.
- Despatch by sea
Description - Injection moulded parts
- The injection moulded parts were manufactured with PP and PA6 plastics.
- In particular, the stringent technical requirements placed on the components had to be attended to at all times.
- Some complex slider separations existed.
- The demoulding inclines - with some only 0.3° - had not to be changed.
- Cable ducts for the automobile industry
