Introduction:
A key partner encountered recurring cracks in an LCP connector housing, even after multiple tooling adjustments. They reached out for a deeper technical analysis.
Client’s Request :Client’s Request (Anonymized Excerpt):
“The X-ray analysis shows that the material doesn’t mix properly near the injection line. Can you share possible root causes and solutions?”
Problem Identified:
✔ Weld line weakness due to single-gate flow in thin-walled design
✔ Incomplete material fusion, confirmed via microscopy & X-ray
✔ Suboptimal process parameters for LCP material
Our Solution:
✅ Mold Redesign – Recommended multi-gate feeding for uniform material distribution
✅ Process Optimization – Fine-tuned temperature, pressure, and cooling rates
✅ Material Guidance – Advised on LCP-specific best practices
Outcome:
- Defect rate reduced to near-zero in subsequent production runs
- Client gained confidence in long-term manufacturability
