FEATURES

  • Hard Power Infrastructure — The Foundation of Customer Trust

    Precision Machining Equipment

    Ansix Tech's equipment portfolio directly translates to superior part quality and reduced finishing costs. The company operates:

     

    5-Axis High-Speed Machining Centers: Achieving machining accuracy of 0.002mm on complex curved surfaces. For cylindrical battery foam holders, this translates directly to parting lines that are smooth and flash-free, eliminating costly manual deflashing operations. Customer Value: No secondary trimming required; reduced labor costs; consistent cosmetic appearance.

     

    Slow-Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining): Capable of machining features as fine as 0.03mm in width for micro-pores and narrow slots. This is critical for thin-wall sections where deformation must be prevented. Customer Value: Precision thin-wall molding without distortion; consistent wall thickness across millions of cycles.

     

    High-Precision Grinding and Polishing Equipment: Achieving surface roughness values as low as Ra 0.05μm for cavity and core surfaces. Customer Value: Optical clarity for transparent applications; zero adhesion defects; superior cosmetic finishes.

     

    Multi-Stage Double-Taper Positioning Technology: For multi-cavity molds, maintaining perfect concentricity between core and cavity with eccentricity within 0.05mm. Customer Value: Eliminates dimensional "drift" that plagues lesser molds after extended production runs.

  • Cylindrical Battery Foam Holder and Rigid PU Foam Molding — Product Introduction

    Product Overview

    Cylindrical battery foam holders are precision-molded components designed to house and protect sensitive lithium-ion battery cells. These components must provide:

     

    Electrical insulation to prevent short circuits

     

    Mechanical protection against vibration and impact

     

    Thermal management to dissipate heat

     

    Dimensional accuracy for proper cell alignment

     

    Flame retardancy (UL94 V-0 rated) for safety compliance

     

    Rigid PU (polyurethane) foam molding produces structural foam components with a solid skin layer over a microcellular foam core. This technology enables the production of high-quality, durable parts with improved strength-to-weight ratios.

    Ansix's rigid PU foam meets the following technical standards (fully satisfying customer expectations):

    Energy absorption: Reversibly deformable under low forces; greater loads dissipated through cell deformation and heat conversion

     

    Lightweight construction: Improved strength-to-weight ratios reduce material costs while maintaining integrity

     

    Design flexibility: Foaming enables complex and large geometries adapted to available space

     

    Part Three: Mold Manufacturing — Core Competitiveness

    Mold Steel Selection

    Ansix Tech maintains strategic inventory of premium tool steels specific to each application, ensuring material properties match exact service conditions:

     

    Steel Grade Hardness (HRC) Key Properties Best Fit Application

    S136 / S136H Pre-hard: 35-35 / Quench: 48-54 Superior corrosion resistance, ultra-high mirror polishability (Ra <0.05μm), excellent wear resistance Transparent PC/ABS parts, optical-grade surfaces, corrosive plastic materials

    2344 / 8407 / H13 48-52 (Quench & temper) High hot hardness at 550-600°C, excellent toughness, superior thermal fatigue resistance High-temperature engineering plastics (PPS+40%GF, PEEK), high-thermal-load injection molds

    NAK80 37-43 (Pre-hard) Super mirror polish (up to #15000), excellent EDM machinability High-gloss surfaces, cosmetic-grade appearances, fine-textured finishes

    SKD11 / DC53 58-62 High wear resistance, high compression strength Wear inserts, sliders, shear edges subjected to abrasive filled materials

    2343 48-52 Impact resistance superior to H13, good thermal conductivity Complex geometries with extreme mechanical shock loads
