Key Takeaways
- Pain Point Solved: Slow cycle times (e.g., 1 minute per part) causing production bottlenecks.
- Core Value: Reduce injection cycle time by 20% and cut mold maintenance costs by 15%.
Step-by-Step Implementation
1. Simplify Cavity Design to Speed Up Demolding
- Common Issue: Complex undercuts add 30+ seconds to demolding.
- Fix: Replace fixed undercuts with "slide cores"—Heya’s DFM team optimizes designs upfront to slash demolding time to under 10 seconds.
2. Position Gates Precisely for Faster Filling
- Mistake to Avoid: Placing gates far from thick sections (causes incomplete filling).
- Pro Tip: Locate gates at the center of thick areas (e.g., bumper thick-walls). Heya’s 5-axis CNC ensures ±0.005mm gate alignment for smooth resin flow.
3. Use 3D Cooling Channels to Reduce Cooling Time
- Traditional Problem: Straight cooling channels create uneven temperatures (≥10℃ difference), slowing cooling.
- Upgrade: Heya’s multi-axis CNC machines "conformal cooling channels" (molded to cavity shapes), cutting cooling time by 25% (e.g., from 40s to 30s per part).
4. Match Surface Finish to Production Needs
- Fast Demolding: Choose mirror polish (Ra ≤0.008μm)—Heya’s in-house polishing eliminates 15 days of third-party delays.
- Textured Parts (e.g., anti-slip interior grips): Use Heya’s 200+ texture library (compliant with automotive interior standards) to avoid rework.
