Abstract

The demands of the ability of industrial automotive production are rising. The precision positioning is the most important among the manufacturing and measuring. Molds might result in making equipment deviations via poor accuracies on mass production because of the poor design and front processing. It influences the qualities of products, or damages the mold themselves. Based on the Hot-Embossing process, the study designed a set including the Hot-Embossing machine with platform for positioning system holding the mold. The positioning and adjusting function, with X, Y, C axis, separates the Hot-Embossing machine from the traditional one. Taken smart phone case as the experimental designed concept and verified the pressing molds with the final thickness with the before and after correction for lengths, wide, and the error values of horizontal symmetry to investigate the accuracies of positioning capability. Then, verifying the Hot-Embossing machine from reconstruction of the product.
