Air conditioner injection mold
The AC front panel serves as both an aesthetic facade and a functional hub. Its core roles are:
Aesthetic & Interactive Interface: It defines the product's visual identity, embodies the brand's design language, and integrates user-interaction elements, such as displays and touch controls.
Structural & Safety Carrier: It provides the supporting framework and protection for internal components (e.g., filters, flaps) while ensuring electrical safety and proper airflow guidance.
Key to Quality Perception: Its fit-and-finish precision and surface texture (glossy/textured) directly shape the user's immediate perception of overall product quality.
Precision molds decisively influence front panel quality:
Accuracy Assurance: High-precision molds guarantee dimensional stability and seamless assembly, preventing visible gaps and misalignment—critical for split-type and embedded data center AC units.
Surface Quality: The mold's polish grade and texture technology are directly replicated onto the panel surface, enabling the precise realization of effects rangeing from mirror gloss to complex grained textures, while fundamentally eliminating defects like weld lines and sink marks.
Efficiency & Cost: Optimized mold design (e.g., hot runner systems, efficient cooling) significantly boosts injection efficiency, reduces post-processing (e.g., painting to hide defects), and lowers unit cost through extended mold life.

The detailed information is as follows:
| Tool Material | 01S50C，NAK80，S2738HH |
| Standard Part | PUNCH, MISUMI |
| Mold Base | GDM Customization |
| Number of Cavities | 1X1 |
| Injection Molding Machine Tonnage | 650T |
| Mold life | 300,000 |
 | 1. Selection of Gate Location and Size for Air Conditioning Panel Molding For air conditioning panel injection molding, the selection of gate location and size is critical. Through CAE analysis, the optimal gate position and dimensions are determined. This proactively minimizes potential molding defects such as weld lines, flow marks, sink marks, and short shots. It also helps optimize injection pressure, facilitating the selection of a suitable injection molding machine. This approach prevents flash on the product, avoids mold damage caused by excessive pressure, and extends mold life. |
| 2. Mastery of Warpage Issues in Air Conditioning Panel Molding CAE simulation analysis is employed to predict the trend and magnitude of product warpage. By reserving material (leaving machining allowance) on the mold steel, the final product length is guaranteed to meet specifications. This prevents assembly issues caused by dimensional deformation. |
| 3. Proven Mold Structure Design The mold design for air conditioning panels follows a mature and proven structure, adhering to strict design standards. This ensures smooth mold opening and closing, as well as ejection, further enhancing mold longevity and reliability. |
| 4. Project Lead Time Utilizing upfront DFM (Design for Manufacturability) and CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) simulation analyses enables the virtual simulation of the injection molding process. Potential production issues are identified and addressed in advance, significantly reducing the customer's project lead time and development cycle. |
