Customer Name: Yamaha
Component name: Magnet Holder
Challenge:
The customer required a perfect circular magnet holder without any marks on the outer surface. The product was designed in a way that the gate point was positioned on the outer surface. Manual removal of the gate was leading to defects and rejections at the customer end.
Solution:
TPI team decided not to go for a manual gate removal and instead set up a semi-automated system that precisely de-gates the components. This setup had an additional benefit of improving productivity and optimising deliveries as well.
Result:
The customer received components that fit well into his assembly without any rejections.
