Viking Plastics of Corry, PA, is a global supplier of engineered, injection-molded and assembled sealing components to many industries. Its products include plastic connectors, closures, clips, brackets, caps and fasteners.
Recently, the company implemented a system that automatically installs rubber seals, called Quad Rings, into plastic caps. The system also detects short-shot caps and verifies the presence of a Quad Ring in a cap. Increased throughput and elimination of visual inspections have considerably improved quality and productivity.
