Welcome to Changzhou Hongxinyutai Precision Mold Co., Ltd., a dedicated manufacturer specializing in high-precision injection molds for automotive components. Since our establishment in 2017, we have grown into a trusted partner for clients across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Our factory spans 1,000–3,000 square meters and is staffed by 51–100 skilled professionals, ensuring every mold we produce meets rigorous quality standards. Today, we present our Automotive Fluid Level Indicator Clear Tube Mold, engineered to deliver flawless optical surfaces and precision structural tooling for reliable fluid level detection systems.
This mold is designed to produce transparent tubes used in automotive fluid level indicators (e.g., brake fluid, coolant, windshield washer fluid). The key challenge lies in achieving an optically clear, bubble-free surface while maintaining dimensional stability under high-volume production. Our solution employs advanced machining, mirror-polished cavities, and optimized gating to ensure consistent light transmission and accurate level reading. The mold is built with durable tool steel and precision-cooling channels to minimize cycle time and prolong tool life.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Flawless Optical Surface: The cavity surface is polished to a mirror finish (Ra ≤ 0.1 μm), eliminating visible defects like sink marks, flow lines, or haze. This ensures the molded tube has crystal-clear transparency, critical for accurate fluid level detection.
- Precision Structural Design: Multiple ejector pins, slide cores, and undercut solutions are incorporated to handle complex tube geometries (e.g., threaded ends, mounting flanges). Tolerances are maintained within ±0.02 mm for reliable assembly.
- IATF16949 / TS16969 Compliant Process: Our production follows strict automotive quality management principles, including PPAP, FMEA, and SPC. While our facility holds TS16969 certification, this mold is built to meet the stringent requirements of automotive OEMs.
- Durable Tool Steel Construction: We use premium grades like 1.2343 (H13) and 1.2311 (P20) with vacuum heat treatment to achieve hardness of 48–52 HRC. This extends mold life to 1–2 million shots under normal conditions.
- Efficient Cooling System: Conformal cooling channels are machined using 5-axis CNC to ensure uniform temperature distribution, reducing cycle time by up to 15% and preventing warpage.
- Customizable Cavity Configuration: Available in single-cavity, multi-cavity (2, 4, 8, 16), or family mold designs. Hot runner systems from YUDO, HASCO, or DME can be integrated as required.
| Parameter | Typical Value / Range |
|---|---|
| Cavity Material | 1.2343 ESR (H13) or 1.2311 |
| Surface Roughness (Cavity) | Ra ≤ 0.1 μm (optical grade) |
| Part Dimensional Tolerance | ±0.02 mm |
| Cavity Count | 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 (customizable) |
| Expected Mold Life | 1,000,000 – 2,000,000 shots |
| Cycle Time (typical) | 25–45 seconds (dependent on resin & design) |
| Recommended Resin | PC, PMMA, PA12, or other optical-grade plastics |
| Gating System | Hot runner (valve gate) or cold runner (submarine gate) |
Advantages for Your Business
- Enhanced Product Performance: The flawless optical surface ensures that fluid level indicators provide accurate, easy-to-read measurements, reducing the risk of driver misjudgment.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What materials can be molded with this tool?
A: The mold is optimized for PC, PMMA, PA12, and other transparent engineering plastics. We can adjust the cooling and gate design for specific resins upon request. -
Q: How long does it take to manufacture this mold?
A: Lead time depends on cavity count and complexity. Typically, a single-cavity mold takes 30–45 days; multi-cavity molds take 45–60 days. Rush orders are available with expedited scheduling. -
Q: Can you achieve a mirror-like surface without any flow lines?
A: Yes. Our mirror polishing process (Ra ≤ 0.1 μm) combined with optimized gate location and injection speed eliminates visible flow lines. We perform a test shot to verify optical clarity. -
Q: Do you provide mold trial and sample parts?
A: Absolutely. We offer trial runs at our facility and ship 10–50 sample parts (with or without resin) for your approval. Trial reports include process parameters and quality inspection data. -
Q: Is this mold compatible with existing injection molding machines?
A: We design the mold base per your machine specifications (e.g., clamping force, tie bar spacing, nozzle radius). Standard sizes conform to HASCO, DME, or custom requirements. -
Q: What certifications do you hold?
A: Our factory is TS16969 certified, and our quality system follows IATF 16949 guidelines. We can provide PPAP, FMEA, and control plan documentation for automotive customers. -
Q: How do you ensure dimensional precision for complex tube geometries?
A: We use 3D CAD/CAM with simulation software, followed by CNC machining and EDM. Final inspection is performed on a CMM with an accuracy of ±0.002 mm. -
