Carts with textile interiors designed to separate and protect components during internal handling. Compartments, materials and configurations are defined considering part geometries, finishes and conditions of use.
Painted components, design parts and aesthetic surfaces require attention even in the phases before assembly or delivery. During internal handling, loading and picking, contact and rubbing can compromise the finish. Protecting delicate components is therefore a requirement to consider in the design of the system that holds them.
Surface-Safe integrates custom textile compartments to separate the parts and protect their surfaces. Dimensions and layout of the compartments are developed considering the geometry of the components, the contact points and the methods of insertion and extraction.
The discussion starts from the product and its use: which surfaces must be preserved, how many parts must be held and how they are handled by operators. This information helps define a custom protection solution consistent with the needs of the application.
Custom protection requires assessing together the component, the material that comes into contact with its surface and the system that holds it. The characteristics of Surface-Safe are defined according to the project requirements and the conditions of use.
The case of automotive lamp covers shows how surface protection can guide the configuration of the system. Component geometry, finish and how the parts are handled are the elements to link to design choices.
Headlamp covers, class A components with complex geometry and non-standard dimensions, generated scrap not in production but during internal handling: micro-scratches from friction, deteriorated single-use packaging, too few parts per cycle compared with volumes.
Surface-Safe solution tailored to the geometry of the cover. Tyvek® pockets that wrap the component without direct contact between surfaces. Number of parts per cycle optimized, dependence on single-use packaging eliminated.
Handling scrap eliminated. More parts per cycle. Recurring logistics costs reduced with the elimination of single-use packaging.
Describe the component, its finish and how it is handled. Indicate which surfaces must be preserved and how loading and picking take place.
Photos, drawings and dimensions help us understand the need and identify the technical aspects to explore for custom protection.
Tell us which parts must be held, which surfaces require attention and how the system will be used. You can attach photos, drawings or technical specifications to help us assess the Surface-Safe configuration.
