Video: Quality lab tour
5.31.2016 | A quick one-minute tour of the newly-renovated quality lab at CY Plastics, where four full-time staff cover every shift at our injection molding and blow molding facility in Western New York.
Our main tools include a vision metrology system – using machine vision technology to interpret and analyze the shape of our plastics parts. It is ideal for automatic inspection, and great for qualitative analysis. We have a full range of gauges and fixtures, precision measuring systems including our newest 1/10,000th gram scale, and a CMM system with PC-DMIS software that gives us advanced measurement, analytical and reporting capabilities. The quality lab supports manufacturing, from capability studies through full PPAPs. It’s a key part of the quality process at CY Plastics.
