The Purdue project team is developing a fully automated machine to assemble a small, custom, two-piece, plastic injection molded replica of the Purdue hammer. Since the initial application submission, the team has been hard at work refining the designs, specifying the needed equipment and defining the overall control strategy for the project. The progress the team has made to date is as follows: Refinement of all conceptual designs into full working designs including the — parts feeders, assembly fixture, machine layout, injection molds, and the robot pick and place device. The completed fabrication includes the machine cart/stand and two key components for the parts feeders. Additionally, the full control scheme has been defined and the associated controls components from Phoenix Contact have been ordered. Since it is still early in the development process, the only real problem that we have encountered is an early design problem with our pick and place robot. The solution to fix this problem is currently under review. The next steps the team will be taking includes: Redesign of the pick and place robot, fabricating the remaining components, acquiring, setting up and programming the controls and pneumatics systems, mounting all machine components, testing and debugging.

The phoenix nanotom® m is a nanoCT® system for scientific and industrial computed tomography (micro ct and nano ct) and 3D metrology on a wide sample range. With its special designed 180 kV / 15 W high power nanofocus X-ray tube with internal cooling and temperature stabilized digital detector, the system realizes a unique spatial and contrast resolution on a wide sample and application range – from small biological and geological samples to medium sized industrial components like injection nozzels or injection molded plastic parts — also with metal inlays. Fully automated execution of CT scan, reconstruction and analysis process ensures its ease of use as well as fast and reliable CT results. Once scanned, the fully three dimensional CT information allows many possibilities for analysis, eg non-destructive visualization of slices, arbitrary sectional views, or automatic pore analysis. Since the whole geometry of the object is scanned, precise and reproducible 3D measurements of complex objects and even the automatic generation of first article inspection reports within an hour are possible.

Sneddon & Kingston Plastics: Custom Injection moulding. This video demonstrates our ability to achieve flexible automation solutions to reduce costs of producing high volume products and assemblies.

At Metro Mold & Design, we have an impressive range of capabilities in custom plastic injection molding. We have two fully equipped molding facilities with state of the art machines that reliably produce custom plastic injection molding of small to large molded parts. For high volume injection molding opportunities we can also automate production for maximum efficiency that never compromises accuracy.
