Automotive Sensor Housing Tooling

Engineering Challenge

What the project needed to control

• The export tooling scope called for a mold prepared for production at the receiving facility.
• Material requirements created dimensional stability and tooling-wear considerations.
• Critical assembly areas required clear inspection planning before shipment.

DFM & Engineering Review

Risks reviewed before tooling release

• Draft, ribs, shutoffs and tolerance-sensitive assembly areas were reviewed before tooling release.
• Material behavior and wear at critical insert areas were considered in the tooling plan.

Tooling Solution

Manufacturing strategy and mold scope

• The tooling plan addressed insert access, cooling and the defined material requirements.
• Export spare components and the receiving facility requirements were included in the review scope.

Mold Trial & Engineering Corrections

How samples supported tooling review

• Tool trials focused on stable sampling and the dimensions most relevant to downstream assembly.
• Sampling records supported engineering review before export release.

Inspection & Validation

Evidence used for customer approval

• Critical assembly interfaces were included in the dimensional inspection plan.
• The shipment package included trial records, sample inspection information and a spare-parts list.

Project Evidence

Available project evidence

• Available imagery shows the multi-cavity injection mold and corresponding molded housings.
• The project example outlines the intended dimensional-inspection and export-tooling scope.
