CASE STUDY Vi-Technik VI-TECHNIK Plastic automotive parts manufacturer Vi-Technik invests in Kreon measuring arm for continuous quality improvement. Of the many trim parts produced by Vi-Technik, rigid parts place higher demands on dimensional quality than soft parts and require a customised means of inspection. The Kreon Ace measuring arm can meet this demand. VI-TECHNIK Parts produced in-house by plastic injection can present geometric faults, such as voids and distortions that appear during cooling and are likely to render them non-compliant with geometric standards. The Ace measuring arm is particularly useful during the fine-tuning stages, as it makes the faults visible to the naked eye. Injection is a complex process, and the Ace measuring arm ensures that the machine configuration is perfect and the parts series is ready to be manufactured under optimum conditions. Inspections are also carried out during production to make sure that there are no deviations and quality is being maintained. PolyWorks Inspector generates reports for internal use. Data is used for statistical purposes in order to continually improve the production processes. The reports are also used to communicate with customers during the development stages.
