Belgium QCMS company development and production of a car steering wheel one integrated assembly of mixed plastic metal airbag cover, which can help to achieve weight loss, save packing space and cost.Use full automatic production, in order to achieve zero defect in the automotive passive safety environment quality and safety.This assembly will be installed on the global car use.

Integration framework will activate the speaker, when the driver presses airbags in the center of the steering wheel cover, to complete the circuit loop.According to this, the module is a safety critical component, so design and manufacturing requirements are very strict.It is by 40% glass fiber reinforced polyamide (PA) injection molding in a precoat stamping sheet metal is made and be become.

Airbag cover include airbag itself and gas generator.Its main function is the airbag is activated when keep the mask shape and integrity.Airbag cover is very important for the design and manufacturing technology.This kind of hybrid structure composed of plastic cover and the metal lead frame set.Development process, in the metal part is inside the plastic parts is the additional stress in the process of export deployment;These is the use of finite element analysis and design changes to eliminate.

Package plastic injection molding is the QCMS teal in Belgium factory specialized production line automatic production.Six axis robot can accurate positioning, put metal in the mould.PA to strengthen material by injection molding.After injection molding production, finished product release, be placed in the adjacent table, for full inspection.Once confirmed, quality products will be assembled by the conveyor belt to the next process.

Plastic metal forming has been replaced complex high cost and heavy metal circuit board assembly, packing space.Ford transit assembled in Turkey for the first time to use this design.Production began in 2012.A successful design is ford introduced four kinds of other models.From the teal's factory, the QCMS this product shipped to Europe, America, Brazil and India to carry out the integration of airbag assembly.

Hybrid integrated framework to conform to the trend of sustainable development of automobile industry, save fuel can not only lose weight, also can leave more space (particularly around the steering wheel for increasingly complex security and entertainment related equipment away space), at the same time also save costs.
