Taking pride in the vehicles you sell to your customers is only part of the story when it comes to the world of #automotives. There is an intricacy that weaves through every aspect of production, and a craftsmanship that even in today’s world of robotics demonstrates itself in the careful attention to detail of each component.
As a key part of this, the extrusion process is one of the most common processes in the production world today, and getting it right can see an evident boost in production, quality, and efficiency.
Essentially a manufacturing molding process that involves forcing base material through a pre-shaped die to create objects with a specific shape and profile, plastic injection molding is the forerunner in this area, and the extrusion process is used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile.
Given that extrusion also aligns the plastic’s molecules to add strength along the piece’s length, this process for creating a long, continuous profile can be very cost-effective. Best imagined as a long line of toothpaste squeezing from the tube, simply the toothpaste is molten plastic, and the tube’s end is created to a defined shape rather than a simple circle.
Used in the auto world in a huge variety of ways from wire coatings to window door casings, choosing the right manufacturer who understands the pros and cons of whether to use the ram, screw, or multi-screw method, and who can advise on hot, warm, or cold extrusion is a significant advantage which can see you receive outstanding quality parts, and in-turn help you deliver outstanding end products to your customers.
