Conveyor equipment OEM required a guide rail component with DIN 53516 abrasion loss <100mm³, dimensional stability under continuous 80°C ambient temperature, and 6-month minimum maintenance interval.
Selected Ether-based TPU 95A compound for optimal hydrolysis and abrasion resistance. Optimized mold gating and cooling for <0.3mm warpage. Validated DIN 53516 abrasion loss and creep at 80°C.
DIN 53516 abrasion loss 68mm³ (target <100mm³). Warpage 0.22mm over 500mm length. Zero replacement required across 8-month field validation.
DFM Analysis: Gate positioned at neutral axis of part to minimize post-mold shrinkage warpage. Cooling channels designed for uniform 45°C mold temperature.
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.
Physical test results from production samples — available with every shipment on request.
