Application of Mold Monitoring System in Acoustic Part Injection Molding

Smartphone has become the necessary part in modern life this day, no matter in work or entertainment. The wide use of smartphone brings the advantages of instant messaging, email sending and video sharing for all people. Two critical factors to bring these advantages to people are acoustics and optical systems. Today, in order to attract costumer's attention and have a ground in smartphone market, the acoustics and optical systems with only basic functions are not enough. Getting ahead of other competitors through improvement on R&D and working methods are vital. By utilizing automatic production line, it could help manufacturer control cost, increase production rate, and assure the product quality.

In Shangdong province, a globally renowned OEM/ODM manufacturer which mainly produces acoustics system has purchased more than 100 sets of mold monitoring system from SHINI to monitor its real-time injection modeling process in 2017. Customer was very satisfied as the product quality and efficiency have been improved.

In this project, the mold structure used for molding acoustics parts by IMM is sophisticated. Before injection molding, some metal parts need to be inserted into mold and it requires visual monitoring system to assure that they can be inserted precisely in multiple positions, and ensure no residual plastic material sticking on the mold surface. For satisfying the costumer’s requirements such as ensuring precise insert molding and protecting the injection mold, SHINI offered the solution that contains 4-6 cameras to monitor simultaneously the molding process, which brings to the customer very satisfactory result.

The features of SHINI’s visual monitoring system includes: High speed image processing (min. processing time 0.02s)、Stable (Linux based system)、Precise (accurate monitoring result)、Flexible (Max. support 6 cameras at same time)、Intelligence (auto calibration for unstable mold opening distance and adapting to ambience light change automatically)、User friendly (easy to use).
