The Situation
Our customer was experiencing high scrap cost from complex 3 pc BOM sub-assembly of a small-sized seal & mesh stack. Errors in the unit were not detectable until final system assembly test. This small subassembly represented a very high pain point for the customer’s build.
The Ask
Mold thru to combine mesh element with D profile seal.
The Solution
Darcoid reached out to our broad network of specialty manufacturing partners. Extensive expertise was required to overmold the low melt-point mesh element with an elastomer compound offering suitable compression set properties.
The Success
A 13% final test scrap rate reduction of the finished product plus a 1min 45 sec takt time reduction
