US FARATHANE is a world-famous auto parts manufacturer, whose products are widely used in cars, consumer electronics, imaging equipment as well as various other industrial products. The company has production bases in Shanghai, Changchun and Taicang, with rich international customer resources, and provides many automotive enterprises with molding solutions for key parts such as battery packs and safety parts.

In recent years, the e-mobility industry has flourished and became a hot spot in the market. It has also driven the rapid development of a large number of upstream and downstream partners, among which USF is one of the best. We have discussed with Mr. Zhang, the deputy director of USF in Taicang, the development of the e-mobility industry.

Walking into the workshop of USF, the Haitian machines are running with highly coordinated automated systems. The market share in e-mobility has been increasing, and the improvement of quality and efficiency is due to this series of automation achievements.

In Mr. Zhang’s words, the initial idea of USF is always be at the forefront of the industry, and the company has long integrated automation into its blood. Highly automated manufacturing boosts higher requirements for the production process, precision, and injection molding machinery.  Haitian International fully meets the needs of the complicated conditions of USF, maintaining a good foundation for long-term cooperation between the two parties.

To match the lightweight orientation, USF has continuously explored the latest injection molding technology and upgraded its equipment, e.g. by implementing a multi-component solution with a clamping force of 1,600 tons from Haitian. The solution includes a horizontal rotation injection molding machine with dual injection components face to face. He told us that the use of Haitian multi-component machinery has doubled efficiency. Originally, each mold needs a machine, but now one machine can install two molds. The whole production process becomes accurate, smooth, high-quality, and efficient. It has broken the traditional way of single production in the past, saving half of the production time and the floor area, supporting the goal of efficiency.

The multi-component injection molding technology is an important process in the field of the e-mobilty industry. With the full support of the Haitian technical team, after several debugging and program optimization, the production cycle has been reduced from more than 70 seconds to about 48 seconds, reaching the international advanced level, and helping USF to gain milestone achievements.

For a long time, domestic multi-component injection molding machinery has been highly dependent on imports. However, after years of operation, Haitian International has convinced USF that the domestic machinery can provide high reliability and stability as well.

As a pioneer in the e-mobility industry, USF will continue to promote upgrading and realize the “smart factory”.

We expect more innovative technologies and advanced equipment to be applied, especially in the e-mobility industry. In the future, Haitian will continue to dig deeper, create a complete set of solutions that meets the needs of the industry, and work with customers to establish a new ecosystem for the prosperity of the industry.
