Best practice Latest generation of metal detection coils impresses leading automotive supplier Delays in detecting minute core breakages can prove costly in the manufacture of injection moulding components and machines for automotive electrical engineering products. Key facts Complaints from customers can be extremely unpleasant and expensive, and usually cause considerable hassle. In order to avoid this, several types of machines were equipped with the latest generation of metal detection coils Vistus RS 100 as part of this project. Detection at the very highest level is needed to be able to register and record extremely small core breakages with a diameter of just a few tenths of a millimetre.

Project goal and implementation The aim was to detect core breakages just a few tenths of a millimetre in size inside injection moulding tools as quickly as possible in order to prevent complaints, unnecessarily high costs and loss of time. The metal detector Vistus RS offered a range of benefits for the customer; the sensors are much more sensitive than competing products and they also provide more in the way of statistics. These can then be used for internal quality control and to improve the production process. Production takes place at the customer’s premises on the latest injection moulding...
