Teciman collaborates in the improvement and research of plastic parts for a company specialising in renewable energy sector structures.
The client decides to replace some metal parts with others made of a specific polymer that he has designed and manufactured, with the aim of improving the performance of the entire system.
3D measurement of plastic parts
Our metrologists carry out the 3D measurement of the first prototypes of plastic parts in our Metrology Laboratory to check that the parts are correctly manufactured. We use the Coord3 Universal machine, with electronics and sensors Renishaw and software TouchDMIS.
Based on the measurement results obtained, the client redesigned the plastic parts and made the relevant modifications to the mould to avoid any deformation, as shown in the report.
Fracture and fatigue tests of plastic parts
We also carry out Static behaviour and fatigue tests of the piece together with the Structural Integrity Laboratory of the University of Burgos. Our engineering department carries out the design and manufacture of tooling for the execution of these tests, in addition to advice on their definition.
Participating in projects of this type is doubly enriching, both because of the satisfaction of a good result and because of the different areas of knowledge that are present in the process (3D measurement, design, etc.).
