Objective
- Standard shoe last block shapes
- Grading system and toolpath/surface calculation algorithms for CNC machinery
- Injection prototype
- Water cooling system.
This project fits in the shoe last manufacturing sector frame work, and more specifically in Last manufacturing (piece of high density plastic with the shape of the final shoe used to make it by placing the different parts around it). There are specific machines which deal with each of the processes to make a Last. However two problems can be pointed out: Deficiencies in the plastic injection machines (unnecessary oversising of the mould and complete lack of quality control) and the absence of electronic or computer systems which could allow a planning coordination control of the whole process. So we identified three main objectives to be achieved: generation of a new standard in moulds shape and quantity, improvement of injection by closed loop control and quality control, and the integration of CAD/CAM systems using the new standards generated. More accurately it will produce from the industrial point of view: costs reduction in` last injection, time reduction in mould change, quality controls, reduction of plastic residum, increase of production by automatic size change machinery and system planning and production control. From the social point of view it will improve the working conditions (last turning and injection), leaving repetitive and organizational tasks, such as controlling the moulds changes. There are four SMEs involved in this project: two last production SMEs (Eurohorma and Taruplast), one machinery SME which have great interest in solving these problems (Arbo) and one shoe production SME as final user of lasts (Alta moda Calzado). On the Other hand, There are three RTDs a Research Institute whose activity is focused in industrial problems, robotic and artificial intelligence (the Instituto de Automatica Industrial), a company creator of moldflow, which is so far the most complete software for plastic injection and simulation (BSW) and a centre specialised on industrial automation and control (API Center). The spected final results will have to be integrated and improved along the project, so the result methods, programs and machines become indeed and improvement for the industry. This proposal is inclosed in the objectives of BRITE and CRAFT in the item of production technologies and materials and technologies for product innovation: Area 1 (1.1,1.2,1.3) and Area 2 (2.2,2.3).
