Micro-Precision Components with Integrated Lubrication
Our client required extremely precise button components with integrated grease channels for smooth operation and extended lifespan. The tolerances were critical - even minor variations could affect tactile feel and operational reliability.
The components needed specialized grease channels that would distribute lubrication evenly while preventing contamination. Traditional machining methods were too slow and expensive for the required volumes.
Quality control was paramount, as these components were destined for high-end electronic devices where button feel directly impacts user experience.
Micro-Injection Molding with Integrated Channels
Stone Plastics developed a micro-injection molding process using POM (Delrin) material for optimal wear resistance and dimensional stability. We created ultra-precise tooling with integrated grease channel formation.
Our process includes specialized injection parameters optimized for thin-wall sections and micro-features. Advanced quality control systems verify dimensional accuracy and channel integrity on every part.
The solution included: • Micro-injection molding with ±0.001 inch tolerance • Ultra-precise tooling for grease channel formation • POM material selection for wear resistance • 100% automated dimensional inspection • Specialized grease application and testing • Clean room manufacturing environment
Key Outcomes
500,000+ button components per month
±0.001 inch dimensional tolerance achieved
100% pass rate on tactile feel testing
Integrated grease channels eliminate assembly step
50% cost reduction vs. machined alternatives
The precision and consistency of Stone Plastics' button components has been remarkable. The integrated grease channels have significantly improved our product reliability and user satisfaction.
