The Situation
A leading manufacturer of LiDAR vision systems experienced reliability problems in their flagship platform due to moisture ingress crashing opto-electronics. Complex QA pressure testing of each unit slowed production output and added cost.
The Ask
Review designed and actual gland conditions and propose a solution sealing reliably under low closure force
The Solution
A hollow profile seal sized to accommodate a wide tolerance stack with deflection properties tuned to the available closure force
The Success
- No more moisture ingress
- Foul weather performance assured
- Reduced final test contributes to 14% faster build assembly and lower cost.
- Ongoing predictable seal performance is assured regardless of influences inside and outside the supply chain by deploying Darcoid’s Seal Performance Creep controls
