High-precision testing of injection-molded components
MABRI.VISION builds and develops high-quality machine vision solutions and modular inspection systems for your production processes. Errors frequently occur during the production of injection-molded components, leading to defective parts. Our modular inspection systems for plastic and injection-molded parts reliably detect and reject defective components.
What are we testing?
Injection molding defects
Incompletely filled mold part
Using 2D and 3D inspections, we assess the completeness of molded parts in critical areas such as thin spots or points far from the gate. We offer inline-capable inspection solutions even for the smallest structures on precision molded parts.
Entry points
Sink marks and demolding problems can negatively affect the appearance and function of molded parts. Our testing systems use highly accurate surface inspection methods to detect even the smallest deviations in shape during the manufacturing process.
ridge (web membrane)
Due to the nature of the process, burrs and flash can occur during molding processes. Especially in multi-component processes, these effects can negatively impact functionality. Our inspection systems detect critical contours, allowing us to identify burr formation early in the process.
Shape and dimensional accuracy
Form testing, dimensional accuracy
MABRI.VISION offers solutions for 100% inline component measurement of complex molded parts. In particular, components with pins for electronic contact must be checked for dimensional accuracy in shape and position for automated assembly processes.
Structural parameters
Even though injection molding processes result in only slight variations in shape, the smallest changes can have a significant impact on function. Our testing systems allow us to measure structural parameters, such as channel widths for in-vitro diagnostics, in order to minimize variations in flow characteristics and volume.
Defects
A multitude of factors, such as inclusions, diesel effect, dark spots, weld lines, and streaks, can directly influence the functional elements of molded parts. Depending on the inspection task, we capture the surfaces and analyze the data using both traditional and AI-based vision tools to detect even the smallest defects.
3D shape
When the dimensional accuracy of shapes, functional surfaces, or contact points needs to be checked in 3D space, MABRI.VISION offers inspection systems with high-precision profile section sensors. Thanks to a short-wavelength blue laser, the measuring method achieves repeatability of up to 0.3 µm. Virtually any material and surface finish can be inspected in this way.
silicone
Silicone finds many applications in medical technology due to its material properties: highly flexible, long-lasting, and biocompatible. This presents numerous challenges for manufacturing technology. Using our computer vision system, we inspect silicone components for microdefects, shape, and inclusions.
Cavity number, 2D code, Data Matrix
2D Code, Data Matrix
Quickly capturing a large number of 2D codes, such as Data Matrix codes at varying intervals, can be challenging for traditional readers. MABRI.VISION has developed a platform for 2D codes (QR codes, Data Matrix codes) that is optimized for throughput and read rate.
Cavity number
If subsequent production processes or product quality depend on the cavity, the cavity number must be recorded at crucial points. MABRI.VISION offers vision solutions that can reliably record the cavity number using smart lighting concepts and deep learning.
Our solutions for testing injection-molded components
MABRI.VISION specializes in the development and implementation of complete vision solutions for use in production and research. Whether 100% inspection directly on the workpiece carrier system or in a cleanroom: by combining different high-performance optics, we meet your individual inspection requirements.
Inspection of the goods carrier system
Combination of 2D and 3D inspections for comprehensive 100% inline component measurement on the workpiece carrier.
Inline high-speed microscopy
Our high-speed microscopy platform enables the inspection of the smallest injection-molded structures in real time.
Computer Vision 2D / 3D
Are you looking for a solution that can be integrated into your process? We offer a wide range of vision solutions.
Testing on the rotary clock
Our rotary indexing test system enables a wide variety of tests in a confined space, with manual or automatic loading.
Applications and implementations for injection molded parts
Microstructures in Vitro Diagnostics
On injection-molded components for in-vitro diagnostics (digital PCR), we use our high-speed microscope to inspect channel closures, channel structures, continuity, filling points, defects, particle ingress and flatness at up to 1 million test points per component.
Connectors and contacts
In our high-speed production process, we inspect connector housings for potential defects using telecentric matrix cameras. We also record the presence, wobble, and position of contacts at a specific interval. For products with variants, we check the coding and locking mechanisms.
3D component inspection | Medical technology
Using high-precision profile cutting sensors, we capture the 3D shape of medical components during the process and check for micro-defects and the smallest shape deviations.
Microdefects in silicone sealing rings
The sealing properties of silicone rings can be impaired by defects and process-related errors, such as burr formation. Using a combination of 3D profile cutting and camera technology, we inspect silicone rings for micro-defects and dimensional accuracy during the manufacturing process.
Cavity number recording
Due to tooling limitations or the material itself, cavity numbers can be very faint and therefore difficult to read. With optimized lighting and AI, our vision system reliably reads the cavity number during the process, even with the slightest contrast differences.
