2K Epoxy PU Contribution to Part Dimensional Quality Stability in OEM’s Process for Emergent Markets 2016-36-0233
Challenges surrounding OEM′s go far beyond to manufacture and delivery high quality vehicles. A perfect design and performance in the lowest cost possible is extremely essential to delivery to the customer the best vehicles. In order to guarantee all these targets, a robust process must be set to developed and implemented. It is known all process limitations, which faces the emergent markets and the lack of infrastructure considering the developed countries. All this limitations can deeply affect the robustness of the process.
Some innovative solutions are becoming common from the engineering development combined with the manufacturing team to work out these limitations and provide excellent process stability. In this present paper it will be discussed the Bi component structural adhesive (2K PU epoxy) utilization to establish the process in the assembly line, mainly in order to improve parts dimensionally. Data will be shown and analyzed, highlighting all the benefits this solution can contribute to create better vehicles even with a restricted process.
