HVAC component manufacturer needed a consistent EPDM flat gasket with ±0.1mm thickness tolerance, stable Shore A 55±3 hardness, and 100% sealing integrity across 500,000 units/month production volume.
Developed multi-cavity compression mold with automated flash trimming line. Implemented 100% optical dimensional inspection with automated reject sorter. All batches tested for Shore A and compression set.
Process CPK 1.89 on thickness. Shore A 55 ± 2 across entire production run. Zero reported field leak failures across 18-month supply agreement.
DFM Analysis: Flash trim path engineered to eliminate micro-burrs that were causing installer finger injuries. Mold cavity surface Ra <0.4μm for clean flash separation.
Our engineers work from your CAD drawings before any tooling begins — identifying potential failure modes, proposing material alternatives, and validating gate/cooling layouts digitally. This eliminates costly mold revision cycles.
