Controller accessories mold
High-transmittance display window molds: Ensure clear, distortion-free images.
Light guide and light diffuser molds: Provide uniform light guidance, eliminating dark areas and bright spots.
Transparent touch panel and housing molds: Strive for a crystal-clear appearance and durability.
Internal precision structural molds: Ensure precise assembly of transparent components with other controller components.
To meet both the precision requirements of controller components and the optical requirements of transparent parts, our molds offer the following outstanding features:
Ultimate Optical Cavity Treatment
Diamond-grade polishing or ultra-high-precision optical coating processes are used to achieve optical mirror-like finishes in the mold cavity, ensuring a light transmittance of ≥92% for the molded product, resulting in a crystal-clear visual effect.
Zero-Defect Molding Technology
Mold flow analysis accurately predicts and eliminates flow marks, weld lines, bubbles, and other defects that may affect optical performance and appearance, particularly at the gate, achieving "scratch-free" injection molding.
Ultra-Stable Temperature Control System
A balanced and efficient cooling circuit ensures a highly uniform temperature field in the mold cavity, fundamentally preventing defects such as ripples and sink marks caused by uneven cooling, and ensuring excellent dimensional stability and optical consistency.
Protective Automated Production Design
The mold structure design focuses on achieving "zero-contact" or "soft-contact" protection for the transparent surface during ejection and demolding. Automated processes prevent human scratches, ensuring product yield from the manufacturing end. III. Our Core Manufacturing Advantages
Advantage 1: Integrated Optical and Structural Integration
We not only pursue ultimate transparency, but also meticulously integrate invisible internal features such as clips and positioning pins into the design. This ensures both perfect optical performance and easy and secure assembly.
Advantage 2: In-depth Understanding of Material Properties
We are familiar with the viscosity, refractive index, and processing window of optical plastics such as PC, PMMA, and transparent ABS. We can precisely set process parameters based on the specific material properties to maximize their potential.
Advantage 3: Dust-Free Production and Full-Process Cleanliness Control
From mold manufacturing, assembly, and mold trialing, we implement strict dust-free management to prevent dust and oil contamination from the mold cavity and the finished product, ensuring that every transparent component is pristine and flawless.
