Quality improvement of plastic parts at Grupo Arcoiris

Grupo Arcoiris: Quality improvement of plastic parts

With over 40 years of experience, the Mexican company Grupo Arcoiris specializes in the manufacturing of plastic products for various industries.

Leveling up quality control in production

For Engineering Manager Maurice Belmont Wong, the holistic inspection of plastic products is the key to success. Corresponding inspection processes therefore take place throughout the entire manufacturing process. ZEISS T-SCAN hawk 2 is making the inspection of their plastic injection molds easy and intuitive. The hand-held 3D scanner with its powerful laser lines is used directly in production to regularly check and verify the injection molds for wear and tear – before production even begins. However, one quality assurance step is not enough for the company. 

When the inside matters

When the inside matters

To ensure proper functioning of products, ZEISS METROTOM 1 is the perfect addition to their workflows. The X-rays of METROTOM 1 capture plastics from all angles, delivering precise 3D data of external and internal structures. By analyzing the captured information with ZEISS INSPECT, the company detects internal defects or mismatches in the assembly of multiple components which might lead to malfunctioning. With the metrology solutions from ZEISS, the company was not only able to successfully manufacture the products but also to significantly reduce the reject rate.

Get started with tactile inspections

From production straight to inspection: Jooß Mechanik creates efficient quality control using ZEISS coordinate measuring machine.

Get started with tactile inspections

Jooß Mechanik, a company based in Germany, faced a big challenge in the production of turned parts: How could the quality of various complex parts be determined with a very high degree of accuracy? The goal was an intuitive measurement evaluation without long training periods, whilst maintaining comprehensive evaluation options. The company found what they were looking for in the all-in-one solution ZEISS DuraMax with ZEISS INSPECT. It provides quality assurance directly on the shop floor.

Jooß Mechanik now transfers its final products from the manufacturing machine directly to the measuring machine and thus captures precise data for single inspections as well as serial measurements of their mechanical parts more quickly. Materials like stainless steel are measured in one go, making it possible to determine drilling distances and drilling depths as well as geometries. With the operation and analysis software ZEISS INSPECT, the company benefits from extended evaluation possibilities, such as easy part programming, collision-free path planning, and automatic tool selection.
