Class 8 Level Cleanroom

14 Medical LSR Molding Machines and 5-Axis Robots

 

We have state-of-the-art facilities that boast more than 1,000 square meter of combined cleanroom infrastructure. At our facility, we have a stand-alone cleanroom equipped with 14 medical LSR molding machines 130T. Each machine is situated in its own Class 8 cleanroom and is fitted with a 5-axis robot for efficient automation of the molding process. Our cleanroom environment ensures that your medical components are manufactured in an environment that meets stringent quality standards.

 

Class 7 Level Cleanroom

In an ISO 7 cleanroom, product assembly requires a high level of precision and attention to detail. The controlled environment is designed to minimize the presence of airborne particles and other contaminants that could negatively impact the quality of the finished product. Assembly in an Class 7 cleanroom follows strict protocols to ensure that no contamination occurs during the process. Workers must wear specialized clothing designed to limit the amount of particles they generate, such as gloves, hairnets, face masks, and full-body suits. All tools and equipment used in the cleanroom must be meticulously cleaned and sanitized before use.

 

IQ/OQ/PQ VALIDATION

As part of their training in the latest IQ/OQ/PQ mold validation protocols, the experienced Quality Engineering staff has been instructed on various techniques including First Article Inspection, process DOE, Gauge R&R, CpK Analysis, among others.

 

ISO 13485 CERTIFICATION

Our facility maintains ISO 13485 certification and consistently adheres to the internationally recognized quality standard for designing and manufacturing Medical Devices.

 

INTEGRATED ROBOTICS

Our medical LSR molding machines come equipped with their own 5-axis robotics systems which handle part handling and cavity separation. These systems are integrated with our process monitoring system to eliminate any products that fall outside of our established molding parameters, set during our rigorous mold validation.

 

ADVANCED PROCESS MONITORING

Our Process Engineers employ a scientific molding process, and as an additional measure, we routinely implement cavity pressure sensors and process monitoring technology to ensure 100% monitoring and traceability for patient-critical applications.

 

Custom Silicone Rubber Injection Molding Service For Your Business

Liquid medical silicone injection molding parts have the feature of durability with good tensile strength and are used to high volume, tight tolerance. Therefore it is widely used in various industries especially for medical parts.

 

Here are the advantages of liquid silicone rubber:

 

Excellent insulating properties, good for tight tolerance/precision components

 

Good tensile strength with high/low-temperature extremes

 

Good resistance for water, oxidation also some chemical solutions like acids.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Silicone Rubber Injection Molding Process

Silicone Rubber Injection Molding Process

The silicone dousing unit starts in two parts

 

Composed A and composed B pumps one Part A silicone and one Part B silicone via separate hoses to the static mixer. Cylinder A contains the basic material. while cylinder B contains a catalyst. In addition, color is pumped to the static mixer via another hose. The mixed components are then fed into the throat of the injection molding barrel by way of a shut-off valve. This is the whole silicone rubber injection molding process.

 

Sealing against the Silicone Rubber Molded Parts

 

Once the silicone material is inside the barrel, a shot of the cool mixed silicone advances to the mold as the nozzle seals firmly against the silicone rubber liquid mold.

 

Injection

 

The nozzle shut-off valve opens and a measured shot of cool liquid silicone is injected into a hot (275F to 390F) clamped silicone rubber molded parts.

 

Barrel retracts from the mold

 

The nozzle shut-off valve opens and the barrel retracts from the silicone rubber liquid mold, while the screw begins to build another measured shot of cold liquid silicone.

 

Closes and repeats the procedure

 

After the cycle is complete, the mold opens and the piece and flashing can be taken off automatically or by an individual worker. After that, the mold closes and repeats the procedure.

 

Post-molding process

 

After removing the article from the mold, the post-molding process may include demisting, post-curation, inspection, and packing.

 

Silicone Rubber injection Molding Application

Molding Parts

 

-Silicone rubber injection molding can be qpplied in molding parts. Moulded part is a good way for low quantity production from dozen to hundred of the part even millions of parts. The molding part is better than the part machined by CNC or 3D printing with the same material. The right choice for resin used in the molding part allows for a wide range of properties. Mold is essential medial for the molding part. So molds machined by CNC and Wire cut EDM with high precision and tolerance are enable make thousands of parts.

Advantages Of LSR molding

 

Durable: LSR injection molding produces parts that can withstand elevated temperatures, making them ideal for automotive or aerospace applications. Unlike plastic injection molding, LSR parts are often fire retardant and resist warping.

 

Tensile Strength: Silicone LSR parts are strong, making them suitable for a variety of industries.

 

Flexibility: Silicone LSR parts can exhibit elongation up to six times their original length before breakage, demonstrating remarkable flexibility.

 

Accuracy: The LSR molding process offers a high level of accuracy in production, ensuring precise, high-quality parts.

 

Automation: The LSR injection molding process can run continuously with minimal supervision, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
