Why Choose KRMOLD Switch Socket Plastic Injection Molds?
——
Manufacturing plastic switch socket injection molds presents several key challenges. Leveraging its professional technical team and extensive industry experience, KRMOLD can effectively address the following:
1) Complex geometry control for electric switch socket plastic injection mold
Modern outlet panels often feature complex geometries and multiple port configurations, such as five-outlet sockets. KRMOLD plastic switch socket injection mold design achieves an accuracy of ±86 mm within a 0.2 x 86 mm area. To achieve this, KRMOLD employs an advanced beveled ejector mechanism with an angle ranging from 15° to 25° to enable damage-free demolding. The parting line design is also optimized to minimize visible seams and enhance product appearance.
2) Synergy of materials and processes
Polycarbonate (PC) is the preferred material for electric switch socket plastic injection molds due to its high strength and flame retardancy. However, its high melt viscosity and low shrinkage place higher demands on thermal control. KRMOLD uses a dual-circuit temperature control system to reduce warpage from 0.744 mm to <0.25 mm, ensuring switch socket plastic injection mold stability during production.
3) Innovative runner design for plastic switch socket injection mold
KRMOLD switch socket plastic injection mold design also incorporates a hybrid hot/cold runner system, utilizing graphene-embedded runner technology to limit melt temperature variation to ±3°C. This innovative design has achieved a 16% increase in yield in a 98.6-cavity mold, significantly improving production efficiency.
Specify the type of plastic (e.g. PP, ABS) and post-processing requirements (e.g. spraying, silk-screen printing), and provide 2D or 3D plastic part drawings should be provided. At the same time, provide the production volume, appearance requirements, tolerance standards, etc.
Generally speaking, our engineers will start to prepare the quotation immediately after the customer provides the complete production requirements. Usually it takes about 1-3 days.
The lead time for regular injection molds is usually 30-60 days, and may be longer for complex molds. For example, the typical lead time for liquid silicone molds is around 60 days, covering design, manufacturing, mold testing, etc.
High-precision processing technology: High-precision equipment such as CNC machining centers (CNC) and electric discharge machining (EDM) are used to optimize the design process in combination with CAD/CAM software. Quality control: Inspection of key dimensions of the mold by Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) and verification of multiple sample batches during the trial molding stage. Material Selection: Use die steel with high wear resistance (e.g. H13, S136) and surface treatment (e.g. nitriding, chrome plating) for die nuts to extend the life.
After every 50,000 molds, check the guide pillar, ejector pin and other wear parts, and clean up the residual plastic and rust on the mold surface. Use high temperature grease for sliding parts (e.g. tilt top, slider) to reduce friction loss. Ensure that the water circuit is smooth and the temperature difference is ≤5℃ to avoid cracking of the mold due to thermal stress.
Mould cost of materials accounted for about 30-40% (such as 1 ton of P20 steel price of about 20,000 yuan), processing costs accounted for more than 50% (CNC labor hourly rate of about 80-150 yuan / hour). Small batch production can choose aluminum mold or simplify the structural design; more than 100,000 pieces is recommended to use carbide inserts to enhance life!
Mould injection products need to fully meet the design requirements (such as size, appearance), and can be continuous and stable production. Mold marking, inspection reports (such as material hardness test) and engineering drawings should be complete.
Mould steel (such as S136H, NAK80 and other imported materials cost more) and the type of mold embryo (aluminum mold short-term cost is low but short life) directly affect the cost, the use of CAD/CAE/CAM design technology, hot runner system, etc. will increase the upfront investment, but can enhance the long-term benefits (such as reducing the sprues, increase production capacity).
