EV & ENERGY DIE / MOLD & PARTS FABRICATION

Solving EV & Energy Tooling Challenges with Precision Engineering

From high-voltage connector inserts to thin-wall battery pack housings and charging infrastructure molds, we solve strict tolerance, thermal deformation, and high-wear challenges for EV OEMs and energy-sector suppliers.

PAIN POINT 01

High-Voltage Connector & Busbar Machining Precision

The Challenge

HV connectors, copper busbars and laminated busbar insulators demand micron-level flatness and burr-free edges β€” glass-filled PA66+GF and abrasive copper alloys cause rapid tool wear, flash, and contact-accuracy drift under high injection pressure.

Our Solution

Jig-ground and wire-EDM inserts holding Β±0.002 mm on critical features, with DLC / TiAlN PVD-coated core pins extending mold life up to 1,000,000+ shots.

PAIN POINT 02

Deep-Cavity Machining & Thermal Control of Battery Enclosures

The Challenge

Large thin-wall aluminum battery pack housings (7075-T6 / 6061-T6) suffer machining stress deformation and deep-cavity tool deflection, while heat build-up in the cavity distorts critical sealing faces.

Our Solution

High-speed 5-axis CNC with stress-relief heat treatment cycles, plus Moldflow-optimized conformal cooling channels for zero-warpage, thermally stable production.

PAIN POINT 03

Thermal Management in Charging Pile & Inverter Tooling

The Challenge

Charging connectors, inverter housings and power module enclosures run in continuous high-heat duty β€” hot-work steel fatigue, heat checking, and uneven cooling shorten mold life and cause cycle-time drift.

Our Solution

H13 / SKD61 hot-work steels vacuum-hardened to HRC 52–56 with balanced cooling circuit design, reducing thermal fatigue and holding stable cycle times in high-volume production.
