FEATURES

  •  The Hardware Foundation — Building Customer Confidence Through Infrastructure

    Precision Mold Manufacturing Equipment

    The journey to sensor excellence begins with world-class machining infrastructure. Ansix Tech employs five-axis high-speed machining centers capable of achieving 0.002 mm contour accuracy on complex curved surfaces. This capability ensures that sensor housing parting lines are smooth and free from burrs—a critical requirement for sensors that must seal against fluids and environmental contaminants.

     

    Slow-wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) equipment enables the production of 0.03 mm fine micro-holes and narrow slots without causing thin-wall deformation. For sensor housings that require precise internal cavities for PCB positioning and sensor element alignment, this capability is indispensable.

     

    Ultra-precision machining systems (YASDA ultra-precision CNC, GF+ AgieCharmilles EDM & WEDM, FEMTO laser machining) combined with automated tool systems (EROWA RC80) deliver ±1 μm machining precision.

  • The mold manufacturing process and product material selection

    Injection Molding Machine Fleet

    Ansix Tech operates a comprehensive range of fully servo-electric injection molding machines spanning 30 tons to 4,000 tons of clamping force. This coverage ensures that sensor housings of all sizes—from miniature cylindrical components to large-profile housings up to 7,620 mm in length—can be manufactured on optimally matched equipment.

     

    The all-servo drive systems deliver repetitive precision of ±0.1%, ensuring that every shot in mass production is consistent with the first. This repeatability is the bedrock of sensor housing quality, where internal dimensional accuracy directly determines sensor alignment, PCB positioning, sealing integrity, and cable routing clearance.

     

    Inspection and Metrology Equipment

    Quality verification begins with world-class measurement infrastructure:

     

    ZEISS CT METROTOM 6 3D X-Ray scanning enables non-destructive internal inspection of complex sensor housing geometries

     

    Optical CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines) provide high-speed dimensional verification

     

    Profile measurement systems ensure surface quality compliance

     

    Every mold undergoes full dimensional reporting before delivery, with critical dimensions verified to CPK ≥ 1.33. This statistical process capability index demonstrates that the manufacturing process is not merely capable but robust—delivering parts that consistently meet specifications with minimal variation.
