Mold Manufacturing

Introduction KOEI TOOL's mold manufacturing capabilities. Specialist in producing plastic injection molds for machines up to 350 tons.
Leveraging the strengths of seven group factories enables local sourcing and maintenance services.

Full utilization of KOEI TOOL's seven group facilities manufacturing system.

KOEI TOOL's six group

Manufacturing of plastic injection molds.

Manufacturing of plastic injection molds.

Factories in Osaka, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and China; leveraging cross-country manufacturing network and providing new mold construction (mold quotation, design concept discussions, production, trial, and maintenance). Distributing design and manufacturing tasks across factories, able to handle many new mold constructions that cannot be accommodated by a single facility. Tracked records of maintenance and upkeep services at local molding facilities.

Furthermore, production of high-quality molds, particularly for aesthetically-designed resin parts, as well as double-color molds and heat & cool molds that require precise engineering.

Areas of expertise

Polishing

Polishing

Highly advanced polishing skills specialized for molds of exterior parts. The polishing techniques have been applied to numerous products, showcasing the technical prowess. While machining processes may leave machining marks, skilled polishing ensures these marks are minimized. This is crucial in preventing molding defects. Moreover, manual polishing by skilled craftsmen is essential to achieve visually appealing exterior products.

Various tools and techniques are applied, such as diamond paste, sandpaper, felt, rotary tools, and ultrasonic equipment, to polish the metals manually. The polishing time can vary depending on the desired level of surface finish, with some parts requiring more than 10 hours of polishing for optimal results.

Heat & Cool injection system

Heat & Cool injection system

Thailand's factory was introduced with exceptional heat and cool molding equipment, quickly evolving with the latest technology. Heat and cool molding is a technique where the mold is repeatedly heated and cooled during the injection of molten resin into the mold, resulting in improved surface quality of the molded products. This technology contributes to the production of high-precision molds.

Double-color molding

Double-color molding

We are cultivating unique expertise in double-color metal fabrication—numerous tracked records in manufacturing buttons for automotive panels.

It implements a double-color molding machine that can combine two different materials by rotating the movable mold 180 degrees within a single molding cycle. Examples of successfully using this technique for molding products with durable hinges that can withstand folding and stretching, integrating rigid materials with waterproof gasket materials, and achieving integrated molding of materials with and without plating.

3D Cooling Insert

3D Cooling Insert

Possessing metal 3D printers enables manufacturing molds that require 3D cooling inserts. Even easily cracked materials such as SKD61 are now possible to utilize. 3D cooling inserts for die casting and other applications are also available.
