Deburring that occurs during the molding of plastic parts, and the joining of plastic parts. Did you know that infrared technology is used in these processes? Many plastic parts undergo deburring during their manufacturing process, but in Japan, it is common to physically cut or grind them. In Europe, infrared technology is being utilized as a new method in that process. The reason is that the method using infrared does not grind away the burrs but instead melts them, resulting in no shavings and preventing secondary scratches or cracks. Additionally, the process can be automated, allowing for consistent treatment.
