Challenges Before Implementation
A mirror component used to scan objects such as barcodes by scanning laser light.
Customers who have used metal or glass mirrors have been concerned about “making their products lighter” and “reducing costs”.

Why TOYOTEC?
At Toyotec, we can provide a comprehensive in-house service, from fabricating mold tooling to form the mirror surface of the plastic lens (the process of forming the mirror shape), we can also provide a reflective coating (the process of applying a coating layer that enhances the reflective performance) to the molded plastic lens.

When considering to switch from metal or glass lens to plastic lens, while there are expectations of weight reduction and cost reduction, there are also technical issues such as adhesion strength, parts cosmetic quality and processing difficulty.
Another issue is that in the manufacture of plastic mirrors, the injection molding and coating processes are sometimes carried out by different companies.
In this case,

● It is unclear which process is the cause when a part/product defect occurs
● There is a risk of misalignment or inconsistency between processes, which can lead to a deterioration in parts cosmetic yield
and other problems are likely to occur.

In response to these issues, the customer adopted a proposal from Toyotec’s integrated system.
This enabled the realization of plastic mirrors by making use of the knowledge of molding and coating technologies that Toyotec has cultivated over many years.

Prospects for the Future Based on the Effects and Changes Resulting from the Introduction of the System
Plastic has a greater degree of freedom in terms of component shape than glass lens, and by changing from glass to plastic mirrors, we have been able to reduce the number of components.
However, when molding and coating are carried out by different suppliers, it is common for problems to occur, such as unstable quality and poor yield.
Toyotec solves these issues through integrated production. We prevent problems that are likely to occur in parts cosmetic and environmental testing by carrying out optimal manufacturing in-house.
Furthermore, we have also succeeded in meeting demands for precision (surface precision, angle) that were previously difficult to achieve, and we have received high praise from our customers for this.

Toyotec Solutions
We have a system in place that allows us to provide one-stop molding and coating services for plastic mirrors.
This integrated approach has achieved the following results

●Providing lightweight, cost-effective plastic mirrors
●Solving issues with parts cosmetic yield

Toyotec will continue to work closely with our customers to propose the most suitable solutions. We will continue to meet our customers’ expectations through the manufacture of high-quality plastic mirrors.
