Automation and inspection sensor technology ensure high quality and consistent flow of good parts in elastomer processing

摘要

"Automation" and "zero defect manufacturing" are buzz words that are increasingly gaining importance for manufacturers of elastomer products, in particular when it comes to using resources more effectively and improvements in cost savings. The basis of this strategy is the deployment of process integrated control systems using sensors. The motto here is, "more performance and optimal unit costs or higher delivery assurance with fewer process risks." In general, this means reduced costs and increased customer satisfaction. Especially in the case of high volume elastomer parts, automation offers excellent process design and at the same time, through the use of sensors for improved vulcanization processes, a new level of quality. Vulcanization can then truly become an industrial process with a production flow of zero defect parts.
