SISTEMAS DE VEDAÇÃO AUTOMOTIVA: variação na carga de compressão apresentada na guarnição de porta malas de EPDM

Abstract

Currently the constant search for new technologies for the materials and processes that improving the weight and performance of car components has been the major engineering challenge in various segments and companies around the world. The study that presented below is directly linked to materials and process engineering, and reports a real problem on an American multinational production line supplier of rubber seals and plastic seals with various applications in the automobiles. The need for the involvement of several engineering related areas highlighting those of materials and processes was fundamental for the choice of the theme, since today faith needed a strong multifunctional group to solve any problem found in products or for the suggestion of improvement in materials, processes, tooling, etc. The study seeks to present the solution to the problem related to variation in the understanding load encountered on the FIAT client production line during assembly tests, thereby eliminating water infiltration into the vehicle by account of this non-compliance and to be able to minimize the scrapping level of parts that present this variation and consequently the complaints made by the customer. The studies were made using Cooper Standard Automotive facilities through laboratory and analysis of the manufacturing process of the compounds. At the end of the work the The results were satisfactory because the substitution of the compound made it possible to eliminate problem and there was a satisfactory evolution in the item approval process.
