FEATURES
Hard Power Infrastructure — Building Customer Trust Through Equipment Excellence
Mold Manufacturing Equipment
Ansix's mold-making capabilities begin with a world-class equipment portfolio. The company operates 5-axis high-speed machining centers capable of achieving 0.002mm contour accuracy. This precision ensures that complex curved surfaces—critical for aerodynamic impeller blade profiles—are machined with flawless surface finishes, resulting in smooth, burr-free parting lines that eliminate secondary finishing operations.
For intricate features such as 0.03mm narrow slots and fine micro-holes, Ansix employs wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) systems. This technology is essential for creating the thin-wall blade geometries characteristic of high-performance impellers, preventing distortion and maintaining structural integrity in delicate sections.
The company's spark erosion machines with electrode automation enable rapid production of complex cavity geometries, while the in-house EDM machining workshop ensures that mold repairs and modifications can be completed without outsourcing, dramatically reducing lead times for engineering changes.

Injection Molding Machine Fleet
Ansix operates a diverse fleet of over 260 injection molding machines with clamping forces ranging from 30 tons to 4,000 tons. This extensive range allows the company to accommodate everything from micro-impellers (25mm diameter or smaller) to large industrial blower wheels.
The machine roster includes premier brands: Japan's Fanuc, Sumitomo, Toshiba, and Nissei; Austria's Engel; Germany's Arburg (specializing in liquid silicone injection molding and two-component molding); and China's Haitian and Victor Taichung Machinery.
All machines are all-electric servo-driven, delivering ±0.1% shot-to-shot repeatability. This means that whether producing the first part or the millionth, every impeller is dimensionally identical—a critical requirement for rotating components that must maintain dynamic balance.
Quality Inspection Equipment
Ansix employs a comprehensive quality verification infrastructure:
Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) for full dimensional inspection against CAD models
Optical scanners for rapid surface and contour verification
In-mold pressure sensors providing real-time cavity pressure monitoring
Ultrasonic wall-thickness monitors for continuous thickness verification
Every mold undergoes a full dimensional report before shipment, with critical dimensions maintained at CPK ≥ 1.33—a statistical measure demonstrating that the process capability exceeds customer requirements by a substantial margin.
Customer Value Translation: This equipment infrastructure means customers receive molds and parts with guaranteed precision, eliminating the cost and delay of post-molding adjustments. The investment in advanced equipment directly translates to reduced scrap rates, faster time-to-market, and predictable production outcomes.
