Challenges Before Implementation<\/strong>
\nA mirror component used to scan objects such as barcodes by scanning laser light.
\nCustomers who have used metal or glass mirrors have been concerned about \u201cmaking their products lighter\u201d and \u201creducing costs\u201d.<\/p>\n

Why TOYOTEC?
\n<\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

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.
\nAnother issue is that in the manufacture of plastic mirrors, the injection molding and coating processes are sometimes carried out by different companies.
\nIn this case,<\/p>\n

\u25cf It is unclear which process is the cause when a part\/product defect occurs
\n\u25cf There is a risk of misalignment or inconsistency between processes, which can lead to a deterioration in parts cosmetic yield
\nand other problems are likely to occur.<\/p>\n

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

Prospects for the Future Based on the Effects and Changes Resulting from the Introduction of the System
\n<\/strong>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.
\nHowever, when molding and coating are carried out by different suppliers, it is common for problems to occur, such as unstable quality and poor yield.
\nToyotec 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.
\nFurthermore, 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.<\/p>\n

Toyotec Solutions<\/strong>
\nWe have a system in place that allows us to provide one-stop molding and coating services for plastic mirrors.
\nThis integrated approach has achieved the following results<\/p>\n

\u25cfProviding lightweight, cost-effective plastic mirrors
\n\u25cfSolving issues with parts cosmetic yield<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3290,"parent":0,"template":"","industries":[31,30,60,53,48],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPlastic Laser Reflective Mirror - Toyotec Solutions<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"TOYOTEC had been consulting with the customer on a number of projects as a partner from conception to design & production realization.
