Macchi Plast, located in the province of Como, specializes in plastic injection molding and stands out in the industry for the high quality of its components, particularly those made from nylon. The company is renowned for its technical precision, the ability to customize products according to customer needs, and the integration of the latest Industry 4.0 technologies for monitoring production processes.
Macchi Plast's focus on innovation and quality requires strict control of every production phase, from design to delivery. In particular, dimensional control of molded parts plays a crucial role in ensuring compliance with customer specifications and maintaining high production standards. However, the complexity of certain components, often characterized by intricate geometries and tight tolerances, makes inspection with traditional measurement tools challenging.
The production of nylon components for demanding industrial sectors requires measuring a wide range of dimensional parameters, often on parts with difficult-to-access features or varying sizes. Before the introduction of the IM-7500, inspecting these parts required the use of multiple measuring instruments, each specific to a type of check, resulting in significant time and labor resource expenditure.
For example, to inspect a complex technical component, it was necessary to use calipers for external measurements, micrometers for internal dimensions, and custom tools for hard-to-reach areas. This fragmentation of the process increased the risk of errors and slowed down the production flow, impacting operational costs and delivery times.
The introduction of the IM-7500 optical measurement system marked a turning point for Macchi Plast. With its ability to perform up to 99 measurements in just a few seconds and work with a wide range of components without changing programs, the IM-7500 has streamlined and accelerated the quality control processes.
The system is also equipped with advanced features such as automatic recognition of the position and orientation of parts, eliminating positioning and focus errors, as well as automatic data logging. These data are immediately available for generating detailed reports, facilitating traceability and information sharing.
A spokesperson from Macchi Plast states:
"We chose the IM-7500 after evaluating several options on the market. This system represents an important step forward for us in automation and continuous improvement. Its ability to meet our measurement needs while simplifying the work and ensuring maximum precision has strengthened our competitiveness."
Thanks to the adoption of the IM-7500 system, Macchi Plast continues to stand out as a cutting-edge company in the plastic injection molding industry, offering its customers superior-quality products and increasingly efficient services.
