Camoplast’s Polymer Solutions group is a leading provider of thermoplastics and Thermoset systems, as well as components for premium manufacturers and motor vehicle OEMs. Camoplast’s Roxton Falls division was looking for a quality control solution for its drilling jigs during production to ensure compliance on a regular basis.

Camoplast’s objectives:

  • Control jig bending and wear
  • Target potential bending areas caused by production forces
  • Detect drilling issues at the source of the problem
  • Minimize part inspection costs and timeframes
  • Avoid transportation between production and metrology sites

Challenges:

  • Very short turnarounds (measures are taken during 15- and 30-minute breaks in the course of a non-stop, 24-hour production cycle)
  • Need for accurate and quick results
  • Harsh conditions (dust, heat and limited space)
