APPLICATION & INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS

Undercut & Slide Systems for Demanding Mold Applications

🚗 Automotive

Automotive Connector & Housing Molds

Locking blocks and slides for connector housings and sensor bodies, PPAP-ready under IATF 16949 — in production for TE and Amphenol supply chains.

🔌 Electronics

3C Electronics & Micro-Connectors

Mini slide core units (3–10 mm stroke) release small side holes, clips and snap fits in high-density connector molds.

🩺 Medical

Medical Device & Cleanroom Molds

Oil-free copper-alloy guide rails eliminate grease contamination for clear optical parts and medical components.

📦 Packaging

Thin-Wall & High-Cycle Packaging Molds

Self-lubricating slide systems rated for 500,000–1,000,000+ maintenance-free cycles with engineering resins.

Key Mold Performance Challenges We Resolve:

Heat Fatigue & Thermal Cracking

Vacuum-quenched H13/SKD61 steel prevents thermal erosion in aluminum & zinc die casting.

High Wear & Galling Resistance

Advanced PVD coatings (TiAlN / DLC) extend pin service life by 3x–5x in abrasive glass-filled resins.

Mold Pin Bending & Flash Issues

Strict coaxiality (≤0.003 mm) and rigid alloy cores eliminate flash and core deflection during high-pressure injection.
