The research project is also investigating possible ways to automate data matching and the adaptation of neural networks. Manufacturers not only gain the benefit of improved data quality from optical inspections, they can also design their entire process to be as rigorous and error-free as possible, even in complex production environments where a variety of different parts need to be tested.

Additional injection molding machines producing different parts can be integrated into this setup and incorporated into the material flow with the use of autonomous vehicles. In other words, the concept allows for automation of quality control in complex production environments as long as the test cell is equipped with the appropriate inspection programs: The inspection system recognizes the different parts and triggers the relevant test program.

Optimisation, rigorous quality testing, and a professional approach to solving problems have always been our key approaches. Our molds are used worldwide by large medical companies, including Danaher Corporation, Cepheid, Foamtec Medical and Freudenberg Medical. Cleanroom molding and assembly VEM can offer services in design assistance, prototyping, production mold making, injection molding in a white room or cleanroom, component sourcing, assembly, testing and packaging. Both inside and outside our cleanroom, we have room and equipment for various sizes of injection machines. Our cleanroom is built in a modular way, which allows us to be flexible and increase size as quickly as possible according to customers’ needs. Three of our global locations include high-tech tool shops, which enable us to quickly develop molds from prototype to production, as well as perform maintenance and repairs.

Our tool shop in Shenzhen, China, manufactures molds for our medical device clients worldwide.

When starting to design an inspection concept of this sort, the focus initially is on the requirements for the part being tested. The project team collaborates with manufacturers to develop the required quality-relevant test parameters, mostly related to surface defects and dimensional accuracy. They also identity the appropriate test methods. Kistler-developed sensors make it possible to integrate mechanical pressure and force and torque tests. Experts from the company’s competence center then design the test cell accordingly. In addition to determining the number and positioning of camera stations with lighting elements, the key factor at this stage is outlining the inspection path for the part.

The molded parts are serialized using individual QR codes and sorted onto trays. While production is still in progress, Kistler’s ComoNeo system monitors cavity pressures via pressure sensors. With support from appropriately trained AI, ComoNeoPREDICT software generates quality predictions for the individual parts. Driverless transport vehicles convey parts selected for spot checks to the optical test cell. This is the first time autonomous transportation has been used in this context. The parts then pass through the predefined inspection program and are checked for dimensional stability and surface defects as well as injection molding anomalies, such as black specks or moisture splay. Issues specific to plastics processing such as shrinkage due to cooling and crystallization are also taken into account.

The objective is to achieve consistently smooth and efficient part handling throughout the entire test process. Integrated safety concepts monitor the systematic progression of the individual steps in the process — as well as the “handshakes” — to guarantee process reliability while preventing data loss. The automatic system then sends the collected data via an OPC UA interface to the operator's higher-level quality assurance system and to relevant databases for analysis.

Quality control is an essential aspect of the production process, especially when it involves parts used in automotive and medical technology applications. The entire quality control process must be designed to ensure maximum precision and reproducibility, and typically requires reams of documentation. All of this is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and is reliant on expert personnel. Automation coupled with artificial intelligence (AI) may offer an alternative.

The process can be burdensome, as the samples are removed, transported, and tested manually, tying up resources. Moreover, the quality of the data depends on the skills and expertise of the personnel performing the inspections. Critical parts may have narrower tolerances and require more frequent spot checks, increasing the potential for human error. Automated, reproducible random sample testing can optimize the process.

Manufacturers typically rely on statistical process control (SPC) to verify quality. The frequency and scope of sample testing is defined, enabling users to monitor the production process according to predefined quality parameters.
