Development

Eliminate all iterative mold and development tuning cycles to reduce cost and accelerate the mold delivery schedule.

Eliminate Development and Validation Iteration Loops

These flowcharts are for a company that does as much of the developmental work as possible in the Low Cost Country (LCC). In this example the customer is in the High Cost Country (HCC) and the production is done in the HCC.

Development Process Methodology

The Algoryx Mold Characterization Study provides a deep understanding of the relationships between all part dimensions in all cavities.

The dimensional relationships are shown on correlation charts. The correlation charts show the correlation/regression line between the Predicator Dimension and each predicted dimension. There is a separate correlation chart for each predicted dimension.

The regression line represents all possible combinations of press settings. This means that billions of possible combinations of press settings are represented by one straight line! The regression line takes press settings out of the picture. When press settings are taken out of the picture, it then becomes possible to tune the mold and tune design tolerances independently from press settings.

Development Process Benefits

  • Faster time-to-market.
  • Lower risk development.
  • Simulate and analyze optimal mold settings and eliminate mold tuning and validation iteration loops.
  • Reduce the amount of Validation SPC and Cpk analyses by measuring only one dimension in one cavity.
  • Anticipate and account for material variations and tool wear.
