Do you have any concerns in the manufacturing of plastic products? "When I sent the molded parts to the painting shop, there were a lot of appearance defects due to dust and particles..." "The molding manufacturer and the painting manufacturer are blaming each other for the defects, and no countermeasures are being taken." "I am required to meet high standards for appearance quality and color matching for automotive and camera parts, but the yield is too low." Kobatec's "Integrated Production Service for Molding and High-Quality Coating" fundamentally resolves these issues. 【Three Strengths that Solve the Challenges】 Integrated production in a clean environment: Direct connection between the painting line in a clean room with a class of 10,000 or lower and the molding machines, physically blocking the attachment of dust and particles during transport. Zero cause investigation with responsible quality: One-stop service from mold making to injection molding, painting, printing, laser processing, and assembly. In the event of defects, we can immediately identify and improve the cause in-house. High-quality decoration cultivated in automotive and camera parts: We have numerous achievements in high-end products that require subtle color matching, deep black coating, and ultra-thin coatings, all of which demand high design and durability. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study of "Reducing personnel and achieving high-quality multi-material molding through two-color molding" that our company conducted. In the resin insert molding process, it was a semi-automatic molding, requiring one operator to be dedicated to the molding machine, resulting in unstable product quality. By switching from semi-automatic molding with a single-color machine to two-color molding, we were able to achieve automatic molding, reducing the workload by approximately one operator. Quality also stabilized, achieving a 4% reduction in process defect rate. 【Case Overview】 ■ Challenge: Operators were dedicated to semi-automatic molding, leading to unstable product quality. ■ Solution: Transitioned from semi-automatic insert molding with a single-color machine to two-color molding. ■ Effects: - Enabled automatic molding, reducing the workload by approximately one operator. - Quality stabilized, achieving a 4% reduction in process defect rate. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case of "laser coating removal on 3D shapes" that our company conducted. There was a challenge in wanting to remove the coating from the top and sides of a circular product with multiple 3D protrusions, which required five processes per location. Additionally, the cost of the fixtures needed for the protrusions was significantly high. We created a rotating fixture and adjusted it so that the surface to be laser processed would be horizontal when rotated. This allowed for a significant reduction in initial and processing costs, resulting in cost savings. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges/Background: Five processes required per location, leading to high fixture costs. ■ Solution: - Created a rotating fixture to ensure the processing surface was horizontal. - Enabled continuous processing by linking the laser machine with the fixture. ■ Results/Effects: Achieved significant reductions in initial and processing costs, leading to cost savings. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a development case of the "Painting Masking Jig" that our company has worked on. The product has a masking area at the intermediate position inside its cylindrical shape, while all other areas are within the painting range, making it difficult to secure the jig. Additionally, a size equal to or larger than the product's inner diameter was required, which posed a challenge for insertion. We successfully enabled attachment and detachment by utilizing deflection and managed to close the gap between the product and the jig. As a result, we were able to mask the targeted masking area, and the attachment and detachment process was carried out smoothly. 【Case Overview】 ■ Challenges/Background: There is a masking area at the intermediate position inside the cylindrical product, making it difficult to secure the jig. ■ Solution: Enabled attachment and detachment using deflection and closed the gap between the product and the jig. ■ Results/Effects: Successfully masked the targeted masking area and carried out the attachment and detachment process smoothly. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
