CMC choose DaTARIUS for process optimization
CMC, one of the largest global optical media manufacturers, has recently equipped its Taiwanese facility with the MF DisCo mould temperature regulator from DaTARIUS. This follows a period of intensive moulding trials by CMC in conjunction with a team of DaTARIUS process engineers. These trials highlighted the dramatic process optimization advantages provided by the MF DisCo.
CMC, which has been using MF Disco units for the past four years in its pre-recorded DVD production, has now also equipped most of its DVD and DVDR lines with the enhanced version of the MF DisCo 2-loop system.
"Our trials with recordable media manufacture demonstrated a clear improvement of the process control," says Mr Billy Chen, Vice President of CMC. "This now helps us to improve the quality of our product, lower our cycle time, and also to reduce costs in many ways, including lower energy consumption and less waste."
By creating a faster reaction time in the mould cooling process, the MF DisCo system helps to reduce the cycle time by about 40%, and energy consumption by more than 60%. This temperature regulator, designed specifically for the optical media industry, directly benefits various parameters - including Birefringence, Dishing, HF and Jitter - that need to be carefully controlled in order to keep discs within specification and achieve the shortest cycle times.
"We are delighted with CMC's decision to invest in the MF DisCo," says Joan Lu, Managing Director of DaTARIUS Asia-Pacific. "The Asian market is strongly focused on recordable media and manufacturers face a number of challenges, not least of which is the continuing price pressure that requires them to optimize their production processes. In today's marketplace, it is vital to maximise yields without compromising quality."
