Polyfab uses process monitoring systems from Kistler based on cavity pressure measurement to sustainably optimize the high-volume production of plastic parts for various industries. Thanks to them, it was possible to reduce the number of faulty parts in injection molding to a record-breaking 1 PPM (parts per million).
Since 1971, Polyfab Corp. has been a custom thermoplastic injection molder. The American company supports the plastics molding industry needs of four major markets: medical, packaging, industrial, and commercial. In order to remain competitive in the ever-changing plastic molding industry, they must continuously adapt their monitoring processes with the ultimate goal of producing zero-defect quality assured parts.
Brian Burhop is a Project Engineer with over 16 years of experience at Polyfab Corp. located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. He takes the quality of their molded parts seriously. Monitoring the molding process for suspect parts prior to packaging or assembly easily with guaranteed results is key. For nine years now, cavity pressure technology with sensors and systems of Kistler have provided a highly effective, reliable basis for automated inspection.
