Customer Story: Innovating Vision Inspection for Defect-Free Gaskets and Seals
Aug 27, 2024

We recently faced a unique challenge when Vitesco asked us to produce T76 filter plates for automotive transmissions. These plates are crucial components, and Vitesco needed them to be entirely defect-free. However, the plates' black-on-black design made it difficult to spot defects using traditional inspection methods.

Overmolding: When to use Adhesive Coating
Feb 14, 2024

Overmolding is a specialized manufacturing process that results in a seamless combination of multiple materials into a single part. Some overmolded seals use a physical bond, while others require a chemical bond. For overmolded seals that require a chemical bond, specialized adhesive coatings are often used due to several key reasons.
