Efficient production of plastic-metal hybrids on turntable injection moulding machines

2019-05-14 07:32:51, 2E mechatronic GmbH & Co. KG

Sensor housings for safety-relevant automotive applications are subject to complex requirements which significantly influence the tool design and manufacturing processes. High availability, the shortest possible processing times and perfect quality, even after millions of pieces, are standard customer requirements. A housing consists mostly of contacts and bushings which are overmoulded with thermoplastics such as PA, PBT or, more rarely, PPS. Stamped parts are supplied on a rolled-up strip. These are then bent and separated directly ahead of the injection moulding machine. To prevent any contamination of the plastic hybrids this is, of course, carried out without the addition of oils, fats or other such lubricants which could infiltrate the machinery.
