Core Specifications at a Glance

Core Advantages: Precision, Reliability & Durability

1. ProE (Creo) Mold Design: Engineering Excellence for Core Cavity Accuracy

• Parametric 3D Modeling: Enables precise digital prototyping of core and cavity geometries, with real-time validation of draft angles, undercuts, and wall thicknesses. This reduces design errors by 40% compared to traditional 2D methods, ensuring the mold matches part specifications exactly.
• DFM (Design for Manufacturability) Integration: Built-in tools analyze mold flow, cooling channel efficiency, and ejection system performance, optimizing core-cavity alignment to prevent warpage or uneven filling in critical parts (e.g., automotive connectors or electronic housings).
• Data Compatibility: Seamless integration with CAM systems streamlines CNC machining of steel cores and cavities, translating design intent into micron-level precision on the physical mold.

2. LKM Mold Base: Industry-Trusted Reliability for Stable Production

• Standardized Precision: LKM bases (compliant with HASCO, DME, or JIS standards) feature pre-machined guide pillars, bushings, and plate alignments, ensuring core and cavity maintain ±0.002mm coaxiality even after 500,000+ cycles. This stability eliminates part misalignment in multi-cavity molds.
• Material & Finish Quality: Constructed from high-grade S50C/S55C steel, LKM bases resist deformation under high injection pressures (up to 2000 bar), supporting robust performance for thick-walled or high-viscosity material molding.
• Cost & Lead Time Efficiency: Standardized components reduce custom machining needs, cutting mold base lead times by 30% and lowering tooling costs without compromising quality.

3. Steel Core Cavity Construction: Durability for High-Volume Demands

• Material Versatility: Choose from corrosion-resistant S136 (ideal for medical/cleanroom applications), pre-hardened 718H (for general-purpose high-volume molding), or heat-treated H13 (for engineering resins with glass fillers). Each steel grade is matched to your material and cycle count needs.
• Wear Resistance: Hardened to 45–55 HRC, steel cores and cavities withstand abrasive resins (e.g., glass-reinforced nylon) without degradation, maintaining dimensional accuracy over ≥500,000 cycles—critical for automotive or appliance production runs.
• Thermal Stability: Steel’s high thermal conductivity, paired with ProE-designed cooling channels, ensures uniform heat dissipation, reducing cycle times by 15–20% and preventing thermal warpage in large parts (e.g., 500mm+ industrial panels).

Application Scenarios by Industry

Technical Support & Quality Assurance

• Design Collaboration: Our engineers use ProE to collaborate on core cavity design, providing 24-hour DFM feedback to optimize part geometry for moldability and reduce tooling costs.
• Mold Validation: Each mold undergoes 3D scanning (±0.001mm accuracy) and trial runs with production-grade materials to verify core-cavity alignment, cooling efficiency, and part quality.
• Certifications: Compliant with ISO 9001, with full traceability for LKM mold base materials, steel grades, and ProE design files to meet industry audit requirements.
