ADATEX: Custom printed tools and fixtures at the Toyota plant with Zortrax 3D printers
One of the largest car factories in Europe, which deals with the assembly of engines for Toyota cars, has been using tools printed on Zortrax 3D printers on its production lines for many years. Multiple 3D printed gadgets and tools help to optimize the workflow in huge processes that have a significant production output.
Keďže motory sú zostavené z dielov dodávaných z iných závodov Toyota z celého sveta, tunajší technici navrhujú a na 3D tlačiarňach vyrábajú prípravky, nástroje a kryty, ktoré zrýchľujú proces montáže a prinášajú opakovateľné výsledky. Niektorými z 3D tlačených výrobkov pre automobilový závod sú šablóny, ktoré sa používajú na polohovanie a kontrolu, že jednotlivé komponenty zmontovaného dielu sú voči sebe v správnej polohe. Typickým príkladom sú aj 3D tlačené tesnenia či puzdra, ktoré sa používajú na ochranu častí motora, keď sa presúvajú medzi pracovnými stanicami v továrni.
„Prípravky, ktoré sa dnes 3D tlačia v automobilovom priemysle, boli kedysi vyrábané samostatnou nástrojárskou divíziou vybavenou CNC strojmi. V súčasnosti sa však viac ako 95 % prípravkov vyrába pomocou technológie LPD na 3D tlačiarni Zortrax M300 Plus.” hovorí Łukasz Kondek, inžinier 3D tlače v továrni Toyota.

Nástroje a ďalšie náhradné diely môžu byť vyrobené na 3D tlačiarni s dizajnom, ktorý je možné optimalizovať pre danú úlohu. 3D tlačiarne v automobilovom priemysle dokážu vyrobiť takmer akékoľvek geometrie bez obmedzení, čím prinášajú nové možnosti optimalizácie procesu na linke a významné skrátenie času, potrebného na jednotlivé operácie.
