Büchner Kunststoffprodukte is a family-owned plastic manufacturer, focusing on quality, sustainability and constant development of their production processes. With the ongoing support and dedication of all family members, the company has become a powerful producer of injection molded components.
Modern plastic production
Büchner is an established manufacturer for complex injection molding products. During the plastic production, the plastic granulate is melted by heat and friction and then injected into the mold. With good tools, modern machines, and automated processes, they produce high quality plastic parts for their customers more efficiently.
However, they are facing several challenges when it comes to the best possible plastic products:
Technical cleanliness
One recent requirement they have faced is technical cleanliness, which they solve using induced air. This way they ensure particle-free products.
High quality standards
The overall quality becomes more crucial as competition is increasing in the plastics industry. To ensure that injection molded parts are corresponding to the technical drawings of the molds, comprehensive quality assurance of dimensions and internal structures are a must.
The importance of quality and precision
At Büchner it’s all about quality. High requirements from customers mean higher quality standards at the company. They help to set Büchner apart from competition and meet the demands of a wide variety of customers. In order to achieve this goal, accurate and modern tools and machines for manufacturing and precise quality control are needed.
To control the quality of the plastic products, the company uses CT technology, which provides the required precision and measures parts non-destructively. ZEISS METROTOM 1 is the appropriate solution for this task and is being used at Büchner on a daily basis. They can precisely scan several parts at the same time and compare them efficiently. In just one scan, they get deep insights on surfaces, hidden defects and inner structures. ZEISS METROTOM 1 also helps them to draw conclusions about tool wear or other manufacturing problems and therefore significantly improved their effectiveness and quality control workflow.
ZEISS METROTOM 1 has really simplified a lot of processes in the company. Just by measuring the entire surface of the parts, we have become much more agile.
