Case Study injection moulding tools from China
General project parameters
The order comprised a took set with a 4x and an 8xt injection moulding tool. Both moulds were manufactured entirely in China. Close consultation was needed in view of the required high level of precision with the small injection moulded parts.
To this end, travelling to China was undertaken with the customer to rapidly and easily coordinate the sealing zones. The tools were very quickly corrected in the sealing zones - partly at night - immediately after on-site samples inspection. Thanks to this procedure, flawless injection moulding tools were quickly handed over to the customer for series production in Switzerland.
Description - Injection moulding tools
- Manufacturing the injection moulding tools in China
- Production of several 4x and 8x tools
- Very tight tolerances since the injection moulded parts also simultaneously take on the sealing.
- All components had to be adapted for all possible cavity pairings to attain the seal tightness of the module.
Description - Injection moulded parts
- The injection moulded parts were manufactured with the following plastics - TPE, PET, LDPE, PE, HD and PP.
- The precision needed particularly in the requirements profile represented a challenge.
- The small injection moulded parts with tight tolerances had to be precisely matched one to the other.
- Dispenser for applying cream
