Dashboard Molding Machines: Engineering Excellence for Flawless Automotive Interiors

The automotive dashboard is the command center and aesthetic centerpiece of any vehicle interior, demanding both functional integration and visual perfection. CLF’s state-of-the-art TWII (Outward Toggle) and TPII (Two-Platen) series injection molding machines are precisely engineered to meet the stringent requirements of dashboard molding. These advanced systems provide the control, scale, and consistency needed to produce large, intricate automotive interior components with unparalleled surface quality and dimensional accuracy.

Why CLF Machines are the Premier Choice for Dashboard Production:

• Precision Clamping for Unblemished Surfaces: Our machines feature highly rigid machine structures and clamping units designed for exceptional platen flatness and minimal deflection. The TPII series achieves superior accuracy with its new-generation two-platen clamping mechanism, ensuring uniform force distribution across large dashboard molds. For the TWII series, the innovative outward toggle design guarantees outstanding platen parallelism, which is critical for preventing flash and achieving the smooth, unblemished surfaces essential for automotive aesthetics.
• Dynamic Injection Control for Intricate Details: CLF machines, equipped with advanced control systems like Keba, offer nuanced and dynamic control over the injection process. This allows for precise melt delivery that accounts for the complex geometries and varying wall thicknesses found in dashboards. The TWII series, with its low-friction linear slide injection unit, ensures exceptional injection stability, which translates directly into superior material flow and the faithful reproduction of fine textures and integrated features, eliminating defects like sink marks or splay.
• Optimized Workspace for Large & Complex Molds: Dashboard molds are notoriously large and often require complex core-pulling mechanisms. Both the TWII and TPII series provide generous tie-bar distances and ample mold installation space. The TWII series further enhances accessibility with its extra-long mold opening stroke, simplifying the installation, maintenance, and automated demolding of deep-draw dashboard components. This thoughtful design minimizes setup times and maximizes operational efficiency.
• Smart Energy Utilization for Cost Efficiency: Committed to sustainable manufacturing, CLF machines integrate intelligent energy management. Many models feature servo energy-saving systems and electric servo material-feeding, significantly reducing power consumption during non-injection phases. This targeted energy optimization translates into substantial operational cost savings for high-volume dashboard production, without compromising performance.
• Tailored Configurations for Production Versatility: CLF machines offer extensive customization to perfectly align with your dashboard production needs. Beyond standard variations in clamping force and tie-bar spacing, our TPII series' two-platen design provides enhanced flexibility for specific configurations. Furthermore, the TPII-R series expands capabilities with multi-color and multi-set injection features, allowing for integrated complex designs and material combinations directly within the dashboard part, streamlining your production workflow and expanding design possibilities.
• Enduring Reliability through Superior Craftsmanship: At CLF, durability is built into every machine. Critical components, including mold platens and high-strength tie bars, are manufactured and precision-machined in-house using top-tier Japanese and domestic machine tools. This rigorous quality control ensures the robust construction and sustained accuracy necessary for continuous, high-volume dashboard molding operations, guaranteeing a long service life and consistent output.
