- The mold manufacturing process and product material selection
Slow-Speed Wire EDM
Cell Holder components frequently require micro-holes, narrow slots, and fine features that traditional machining cannot produce with consistency. Ansix's slow-speed wire EDM capability can produce features as fine as 0.03 mm.
Customer Value: This directly addresses the thin-wall deformation risk that plagues conventional machining of delicate features. Every micro-feature is dimensionally exact from cavity to cavity, and the mold maintains this precision over millions of cycles. For Cell Holder applications requiring precise battery cell spacing and retention features, this capability ensures perfect fit every time.
In-House EDM and Electrode Manufacturing
Ansix maintains its own electrode machining center and EDM workshop, ensuring that mold repairs and modifications can be completed without outsourcing.
Customer Value: For customers facing production deadlines, the ability to perform cavity modifications within 24 hours rather than waiting weeks for an external vendor is invaluable. This reduces mold repair lead times, minimizes production downtime, and lowers inventory buffer requirements.
Injection Molding Machine Fleet
Ansix Tech operates 260 injection molding machines across four production bases, with clamping forces ranging from 30 tons to 2,800 tons. The primary machine brands include Japan's Fanuc, Sumitomo, Toshiba, and Nissei; Europe's Engel and Arburg; and China's Haitian and Victor Taichung Machinery.

All machines are equipped with full servo-electric drive systems, delivering stable repeatability at ±0.1% precision.
Customer Value: Batch-to-batch consistency. When a customer validates a Cell Holder design, they need to know that the 10,000th part is identical to the first. Servo drive technology and closed-loop control systems make this a reality. The broad tonnage range also means Ansix can scale from prototyping to millions of units per month without re-tooling or capacity bottlenecks.
Metrology and Inspection Equipment
Ansix's quality laboratory is equipped with coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and optical imaging systems capable of sub-micron resolution.

8407 HRC 46-52 Premium hot-work steel Extended mold life in high-temperature PPS molding
DC53 HRC 58-62 High-hardness, high-toughness Superior wear resistance for intricate core pins and thin-wall sections
Customer Value: Ansix provides mold steel material reports and heat treatment curves with every mold—complete transparency on what goes into the tool that produces their parts.
Mold Life Guarantee
For PPS+GF40 (abrasive glass-filled material): Ansix guarantees 500,000 shots minimum.
Customer Value: A predictable mold life means predictable tooling amortization costs. Customers can accurately calculate per-part tooling costs over the product lifecycle, eliminating the financial uncertainty of premature mold failure.
Achievable Tolerances
Feature Type Achievable Tolerance Customer Value
General structural features ±0.05 mm Reliable assembly fit with mating components
Precision features (critical Cell Holder dimensions) ±0.005 mm Perfect battery cell alignment; no interference, no gaps
Customer Value: Tighter tolerances mean fewer rejected parts, less assembly adjustment, and higher final product quality. For Cell Holders that must position battery cells with exact spacing, this precision is non-negotiable.
Gate and Runner System Design
Ansix employs advanced simulation software including Autodesk Moldflow to create a digital twin of the mold and the plastic flow process. Before any steel is cut, engineers analyze melt behavior to predict weld-line formation, air-trap locations, and pressure distribution.
For PPS+GF40 Cell Holders, this includes:
Optimizing gate location and quantity to ensure balanced filling
Designing runner systems that minimize material waste
Predicting and mitigating weld line positions that could compromise structural integrity
Identifying gas trap risks before mold fabrication begins
Customer Value: Mold flow analysis can eliminate more than 80% of potential defects before mold opening, reducing the number of mold trial iterations and modification costs. For customers, this means faster time-to-market, lower development costs, and fewer surprises during production ramp-up.
Cooling System Design
PPS has inherently low thermal conductivity (approximately 0.5 W/(mK)), making effective cooling system design critical for cycle time and dimensional stability.
Ansix designs conformal cooling channels where possible and employs mold temperature controllers with zone-specific temperature control. For PPS+GF40,模具 temperatures are maintained at 120-150°C.
Customer Value: Effective cooling means:
Reduced cycle times (higher throughput, lower per-part cost)
Minimal warpage and distortion (fewer rejects)
Consistent part dimensions across batches (reduced quality variation)
Mold Delivery Standards
Mold Complexity Standard Lead Time Expedited Service
Simple molds 10 days -
Medium-complexity molds 25-45 days 20 days (validation protocols maintained)
Customer Value: Predictable lead times enable accurate project planning. The expedited service option (compressing medium-complexity molds to 20 days without compromising validation) means customers can accelerate time-to-market when needed.
Part Three: Injection Molding — Process Control That Eliminates Quality Anxiety
Customers fear: shrinkage, flash, dimensional instability, and batch-to-batch color variation. Ansix's process control systems are designed to eliminate these fears.
PPS+GF40 Material Characteristics
PPS+GF40 (Polyphenylene Sulfide with 40% glass fiber reinforcement) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic with exceptional properties:
Property Value Customer Value
Tensile strength ~190 MPa Comparable to many metals at one-fifth the weight
Heat deflection temperature 270°C Maintains structural integrity in high-temperature applications
Continuous use temperature 200-240°C Long-term reliability in demanding environments
UL94 flame rating V-0 Inherent flame retardancy—no additives required
Chemical resistance Excellent Withstands exposure to electrolytes, coolants, and aggressive chemicals
Dimensional stability Excellent Parts maintain critical dimensions over temperature and humidity changes
Molding shrinkage 0.2-0.8% Predictable shrinkage enables accurate mold design
Material Drying and Preparation
PPS-GF40 requires pre-drying at 140-150°C for 3-6 hours to achieve moisture content below 0.05% (500 ppm maximum).
Customer Value: Proper drying prevents hydrolysis degradation, voids, and surface defects that would compromise part quality. Ansix's controlled drying process ensures every shot uses optimally conditioned material.
Injection Molding Parameters for PPS+GF40
Parameter Range Customer Value
Melt temperature 300-340°C Proper melt temperature ensures complete filling without material degradation
Mold temperature 120-177°C High mold temperature promotes crystallization, reduces internal stress, and improves dimensional stability
Injection pressure 50-140 MPa Optimized pressure ensures cavity filling without flash or over-packing
Injection speed Medium-high Balanced speed prevents weld line weakness and surface defects
Process Standardization and Control
MES-Integrated Process Locking: All machines are networked to a central Manufacturing Execution System (MES). Molding parameters (temperature, pressure, speed, timing) are locked in the MES system—only authorized engineers can make adjustments. Every batch undergoes first-article and last-article inspection comparison.
Customer Value: Process standardization means no operator-dependent variation. The part produced at 3 AM on Sunday is identical to the part produced at 10 AM on Monday. This consistency reduces customer inspection requirements and eliminates the "good batch / bad batch" uncertainty.
Dimensional Stability Control
Ansix employs mold temperature controllers with zone-specific temperature control, maintaining core and cavity temperature differentials within 2°C to minimize warpage and distortion.
For PPS+GF40 Cell Holders, key stability metrics include:
Critical hole-to-hole spacing variation ≤0.02 mm across three consecutive production batches
Part-to-part dimensional repeatability within ±0.1%
Customer Value: Predictable dimensions mean:
Parts assemble correctly every time
No manual adjustment or rework
Reduced scrap rates (lower material cost)
