A typical injection moulding part drawing will have a number of First Article & Control Dimensions which need to achieve CPK/PPK values >1.33 (CPK/PPK refer to short & long term capabilities of a process). This can create hundreds of data points across a multi-cavity mould which require presenting in an easy to understand and professional manner. Using Plazology’s systematic approach to sample collection, areas of concern (be it part/process or mould) can be rapidly identified and assessed.

​

Dimension reports generated by Plazology are graphically presented in a way that allow customers to investigate any non-conformities, giving deeper insight within a short time frame. The graphs show patterns in the data which would not necessarily be highlighted in a standard dimensional report. With the in-depth reports, customers can quickly compare different master-batches and polymers against each other, to see which gives better dimensional stability and performance.

​

Plazology also offers Dimensional DOE, a great tool if used correctly, to understand which key parameters are driving dimensional variation in components (this can also be used to reduce quality defects). Plazology support the creation of true SPC for ongoing production monitoring. Plazology’s in-depth knowledge of moulding process set-up with process tolerance control reduces the need for ongoing inline inspection.
