| Abstract [eng] |
The master thesis aims to develop quality problem solution for plastic injection moulded water meter housing. In the project, an analysis of similar plastic injection moulding process problems is done. Results of similar problem solution implementations are discussed. Based on literature research and analysis of scientific publications, the most influential moulding parameters are selected for the experiment to find the best parameter setup. The experiment is performed by producing meter housing samples using several different parameter setups. The best parameter setup is applied in the production to increase water meter housing quality. After improving quality in the plastic injection moulding process, testing of the quality increase is done using developed methods. Based on the testing results, a proposal of a new testing bench is made to reduce the quantity of outgoing faulty water meters and increase testing capabilities. Proposed quality problem solution advantages are presented. The cost of solution implementation is calculated together with meter replacement cost. Suggestions for future work are made based on this project results. |
