Denmark Customer’s Unscrewing Mold Inspection at Intertech (2015)

Denmark Customer’s Unscrewing Mold Inspection at Intertech (2015)

High-precision unscrewing • Multi-cavity design • Fast delivery under tight timelines

In 2015, a long-term customer from Denmark (Copenhagen)—a professional plastic & metal molding company—visited Intertech in Taiwan to inspect a set of high-precision unscrewing molds before shipment. The tools were destined for a heavy-industry client developing leather-treatment equipment with large animal-feeding systems (food and drinking troughs), requiring durable, weather-resistant plastic parts molded in POM.

Project Background

Intertech’s export mold service supports customers across Europe and the USA. Most collaboration occurs “geographically far, internet-close” via email, daily calls, and shared dashboards. Orders are confirmed through detailed online communication, and we meet clients face-to-face at major trade shows—Euromold, Fakuma, Formnext, NPE—and during follow-up factory visits.

The Danish customer (A-Jon) has cooperated with Intertech for years, purchasing tools such as PC light cover molds, PMMA light diffuser molds, acrylic lighting molds, then running production for brands like Philips and Thorn. In this program, they brought two new end clients from heavy industry to our factory for on-site evaluation.

Application & Requirements

• End use: components for leather-treatment equipment and large feeding-cage systems.

• Material: POM (engineering plastic) for strength, dimensional stability, and wear resistance.

• Tool steel: H13 / 1.2344, hardened & heat treated (steel certificates from Germany, Sweden, Japan supplied).

• Mold class: High-precision unscrewing molds, multi-cavity design.

• Quality focus: precision, strength, alignment, stability, and long-term consistency under harsh environments.

The Challenge: Short Lead Time Around CNY

The end customer targeted an early-spring 2016 market launch (with patent activity in progress). Despite a 9-day Lunar New Year shutdown in Taiwan (starting Feb 06), the molds had to be built in 4–6 weeks—a schedule most shops would decline.

Intertech accepted and engineered a plan to meet the window while protecting quality.

Intertech’s Engineering Response

1. DFM & Program Plan (Day 0–2)
   Gate, cooling, and unscrewing layout; risk register; cycle/cost model.
   → Start your own DFM within 48 hours: Custom Mold & Design Maker

2. Steel & Mechanism (Day 3–12)
   H13/1.2344 blocks rough-machined; unscrewing drives (servo/hydraulic options) sized for thread geometry; alignment keys and wear inserts defined.

3. Precision Machining & HT (Day 10–24)
   Hardening + tempering; finish machining; concentricity and straightness checks on cores; thread gauges for GO/NO-GO.

4. Mold Prove-Out (Day 22–30)
   T0/T1 trials in POM; cavity balance, gate-freeze study, and cavity-pressure curves to set V/P transfer; dimensional checks on critical threads and sealing faces.

5. Customer Inspection at Intertech (Day 30–33)
   On-site review of:

   • Unscrewing mechanism reliability (torque, timing, lube path)

   • Multi-cavity balance and ejection uniformity

   • Thread integrity and part de-mold behavior

   • Preventive-maintenance plan, spare kits, and documentation

6. Packing & Logistics (Day 34–42)
   Anti-rust treatment, fumigated wooden crates, full documentation and steel certificates for export.

→ On-press validation & run-at-rate: Molding

Communication Model (What Customers Can Expect)

• Daily internet touchpoints (email/phone/video) for design, changes, and approvals.

• Trade-show meetings (Euromold, Fakuma, Formnext, NPE) for project reviews.

• Post-show factory visits for after-sales service and new RFQs—many customers return every cycle with new programs.

Outcomes

• Lead time met despite the CNY holiday window.

• Tight-tolerance unscrewing molds delivered with steel certificates and inspection reports.

• High customer satisfaction and repeat orders based on performance and support.

• Export-ready anti-rust packaging ensured safe arrival and fast start-up at the customer’s plant.
