helps DaimlerChrysler
come clean with
the shipping of
engine components IPR Automation-Sohner Plastics Germany has been working with
DaimlerChrysler engineers in Germany to solve the problem of
Plastic Tray shavings in the shipping of Engine Blocks, Cylinder
Heads, Transmission Rings and other components with sharp,
machined edges. The parts with sharp machined edges were shaving the plastic
shipping trays causing slivers of plastic to attach to the parts
requiring them to be re-cleaned and inspected before final assembly. IPR Automation-Sohner Plastics has developed new Thermoformed
Trays with a special material, ABS/TPU, that cannot be cut by the
sharp machined edges of the parts. This eliminates the need to
clean the parts before final assembly in the engine with great
savings in time and money. This unique material it is co-extruded with a rigid base layer of ABS
and a cut resistant cover of TPU and requires special thermoforming
tooling and techniques. Vibration Test for General Motors
