Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a garnish for a vehicle. The apparatus may include a movable member configured to form a cavity, a fixed member configured to include a machining part for foaming a thermo plastic olefin (PTO) at a time of being combined with the movable member and a resin supply hole penetrating through the machining part, and a resin supplier configured to supply a melting resin containing a chemical foaming agent to the resin supply hole.
Claims11
An apparatus for manufacturing a garnish for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a movable member configured to form a cavity;
- a fixed member configured to include a machining part for foaming a thermo plastic olefin (PTO) at a time of being combined with the movable member and a resin supply hole penetrating through the machining part;
- and
- a resin supplier configured to supply a melting resin containing a chemical foaming agent to the resin supply hole.
A method for manufacturing a garnish for a vehicle, comprising:
- preparing a molding to combine a movable member with a fixed member by moving the movable member, to which a PTO foil is fixed, forward;
- supplying a hot blast to the PTO foil so that a portion of the PTO foil adheres to a winding groove of a winding machining block;
- supplying a melting resin containing a chemical foaming agent to a rear surface of the PTO foil;
- releasing the movable member from the fixed member by integrally bonding the PTO foil to the melting resin, moving the movable member backward from the fixed member and taking out a semi-finished garnish from the movable member;
- and
- producing a finished garnish by cutting an unnecessary portion of the PTO foil, to which the melting resin is not bonded, from the semi-finished garnish.
