Induction heating footwear assembly: NikeRecent Research Landscape
Manual assembly of complex footwear geometries increases labor costs and structural variability. These innovations utilize automated gathering systems and integrated side trims to standardize the shaping of wearable articles.
What technical problems is Nike addressing in Induction heating footwear assembly?
Inefficient thermal bonding cycles
(4)evidences
Weak adhesion or structural failure at the interface of multi-component footwear assemblies. Ensuring robust mechanical stability prevents premature delamination and component separation.
Inconsistent upper shape retention
(3)evidences
Uneven thermal energy transfer during footwear assembly leads to poor bonding and material deformation. Uniform heat application ensures structural integrity across complex geometries.
Inaccurate footwear component alignment
(2)evidences
Inconsistent manual material removal during footwear finishing leads to aesthetic defects and bonding failures. Standardizing surface texture ensures predictable adhesive performance and product quality.
