Project InTrance
Component Marking and Control of the Drive System
Problem / Solution approach
At present, components of injection moulded products are marked in a downstream manufacturing processes. The object of research of this project is the integration of an in‐situ produced individual marking technology. Different marking methods are investigated to apply an individual component marking to the component during the injection moulding process. In this regard, the planned structure is to be similar to a data matrix code or QR code. Other focus areas of the research include thermal simulations, coding of the relevant production data, software development and the integration of a functional pattern into a manufacturing tool.
