Lumenera's Industrial USB 2.0 Cameras -
Protect Injection Molding Machines
Today's plastic injection molding machines can cost from $100K to over half a million dollars, not including molding plates which can add anywhere from several thousand to over $100K. Needless to say, these costly machines need to be carefully maintained and protected.
A well known mold inspection equipment provider has developed a machine vision system that utilizes Lumenera's Lu105M USB 2.0 industrial camera to protect these machines and parts from costly damage, lost production time and delayed deliveries. Lumenera's megapixel USB 2.0 cameras have been implemented to:
Ensure a Proper Seal: Lumenera's industrial cameras are used to detect any piece that remains between the two mold halves and prevents a proper seal. As the pressurized liquid polymer is forced into the improperly sealed mold, it will spray out from between the mold halves, possibly damaging moving parts within the injection machine and potentially causing harm to operators in the immediate vicinity.
Reveal Misaligned Inserts: Misaligned inserts such as the metal shafts on a screwdriver can also cause serious damage to the mold plates, and if the insert is substantial enough it may also damage part of the hydraulic system. Lumenera's USB 2.0 megapixel cameras take an image of the open mold. If a misaligned insert is detected, an signal is quickly issued to prevent the press from closing, avoiding the possibility for extensive damage to the molding plates and machine.
Detect Flash & Short Shots: Lumenera's USB 2.0 cameras are used to detect flash and short shots by taking images of the mold. Flash is a condition whereby the liquid polymer is being forced out of the mold cavity into the space between the mold halves. If a flash is detected, the mold inspection machine is immediately stopped and the condition causing the flash can be remedied before too many defective parts are manufactured. A short shot is a part that is not fully formed. Typically this is caused by an insufficient amount of liquid being injected into the mold. A blocked feed line may be the cause of a short shot. Detecting a short shot condition as soon as it occurs allows the machine to be shut down and the blockage cleared before too many defective parts are made.
By integrating Lumenera's Lu105M USB 2.0 industrial camera into their machine vision system, this provider was able to:
- Prevent serious damage to the injection machine caused by non-ejected parts and misaligned inserts
- Reduce operator labor costs
- Reduce the potential for harm to operators
- Lower scrap costs by monitoring for flash and short shots
- Prevent damage by detecting non and partially ejected parts and misaligned inserts
- Reduce lost production time and delayed deliveries
Other Lumenera cameras that are ideal for this type of application include the Lu175C, Lw235, Lm075 and Lm135.
