Measurement of Precision Plastic Mouldings

Increasing efficiency of precision plastic moulding inspections

A leading designer, and manufacturer of precision technical mouldings, produce over eight million units per month. They specialise in the provision of high precision, tight tolerance mouldings in engineering polymers often with zero or minimum draft. They have expertise in coil bobbins & electrical insulation solutions for a variety of industries – each with unique measurement requirements.

With long-term experience in the use of vision systems they needed a solution that would allow them to increase efficiency, volume of output and meet the highest level of quality assurance. The AVR300 CNC Vision System from Starrett provides accuracy, reliability, and versatility to meet these demands and can support plans for growth.

Why choose the AVR300 for plastic moulding inspections

Why choose the AVR300 for plastic moulding inspections

The AVR300 stood out due to its versatility, an essential feature for a manufacturer meeting the differing requirements of numerous sectors. The Quality Manager explained that for automotive projects, the AVR300 is essential not only for Initial Sample Inspector reports but throughout the Production Part Approval Process. Black, white, and clear plastics mouldings can be particularly challenging to inspect and measure optically. The precision lens and advanced lighting options create high contrast on surface, edge, and blind hole features. The accuracy of the Starrett Vision range, with capability to measure optical height and depth down to a few microns meets all requirements.

In their own words? “The AVR300 is everything we needed in one machine. It’s invaluable for ensuring part conformance to meet sector requirements.”

The Optimax team with their extensive knowledge and expertise, have proven themselves to be the ideal partner for independent, candid advice. They are a company we can trust to support our metrology and visual inspection needs whether we are purchasing equipment or developing specific metrology instruments for our applications. Their experience and methodical attention to detail mean the outcomes we achieve support our testing requirements.

Dr Andrew Johnson, Assistant Director, RandA

Optimax are a trusted partner! We have been working in partnership with Optimax for several years, to supply us with inspection solutions, service, and onsite calibration to UKAS standards. Their knowledge and expertise is exceptional, they provide honest, independent advice. Optimax are quick to provide options and solutions for our inspection requirements. They work hard to deliver a solution that 100% fits the application rather than just supplying a product. Optimax work with us to ensure we achieve our inspection objectives – they are one of the first companies I turn to.

Bruce Daggett, Senior Aerospace Weston, Inspection Team Leader

For over 14 years Optimax has been providing us with inspection equipment, service and most importantly expertise. We need suppliers that can go the extra mile in looking specifically at our application and then providing a suitable and sometimes bespoke solution, and this is where Optimax have really made a difference

John Harris, Director, Nevo Developments

Optimax have an extensive product range that was very attractive to us. They took the time to understand my requirements and align a solution that fitted into my manufacturing processes. They were very knowledgeable and friendly, I found the virtual demonstration extremely helpful. The outcome of the project has been very successful and performs above expectations. I would definitely recommend Optimax.
