Whether fuel injection systems or automotive security systems: plastic parts, whereby even the slightest particle of contamination could lead to their failure, are manufactured by Pöppelmann under increased cleanliness requirements. This is done by specially trained employees in a specifically prepared cleanroom using perfectly matched logistics. The gravimetric analysis under clean room conditions confirms it: the particle pollution of the finished parts is less than 1 mg per 1,000 cm² of component surface. The automatic typing using the stereo microscope confirms adherence to specifications with regard to the maximum particle size (reflecting) of less than 150 microns, granule (non-reflecting) less than 300 microns and isolated fibres of less than 2,000 microns.
With Pöppelmann KAPSTO® as your development partner, you have quality and costs under control right from the start. This is because you will find the plastics expertise that you need for your application under one roof with us: from competent advice and fast development tools (such as CATIA V5, 3D tool filling simulation) to in-house tool construction to efficient high-end series production. Innovative technologies such as Rapid Tooling and Rapid Prototyping are also the guarantee of rapid development times, because the use of these technologies means that the initial functional and installation prototypes are already available during the early stages of a project (also in series production material). In this way, ideas and developments are quickly to hand, and you benefit from the time and cost advantages. By the way, one project manager looks after your interests at all times during the entire development period. – giving you a decisive competitive advantage.
