With the explosive growth of the global VR gaming market, Sony, as a leading game equipment manufacturer, faced a dual challenge with the production capacity and quality of the key silicone face cover for its PS VR headset. The existing supplier encountered issues with excessive flash (greater than 0.05mm) and insufficient daily production capacity during mass production, which directly impacted delivery times and user experience.
In the initial discussions with Sony, Yejia proposed using LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) injection molding technology combined with a dust-free spraying process. Although Sony was initially skeptical about the complex LSR mold design, Yejia stood firm, believing that only high-precision LSR molding could meet both the client's quality and production demands. The mold was designed with ejection and four-sided slider structure, successfully achieving the required precision.
After successfully testing the first set of molds, Sony immediately ordered nine duplicated molds. Yejia helped Sony meet tight deadlines and deliver on time. During the trial, Sony's designers humorously referred to the mold structure as "Transformers," highlighting the complexity and innovation of the process, a testament to Yejia's technical expertise.
When Sony began developing the second generation of PS VR, they once again turned to Yejia for assistance. Considering environmental concerns, Yejia proposed replacing the original spraying process with a UV-activation process. This new process not only effectively prevents dust accumulation but also retains a matt feel, further enhancing the user experience. After multiple trials, the new UV treatment process successfully met expectations and received high praise from Sony.
Through its advanced LSR injection molding technology, dust-free spraying process, and innovative environmental solutions, Yejia successfully addressed Sony's challenges with the PS VR face cover project. Yejia not only met the mass production needs but also helped elevate product quality and environmental standards.
As a result of Yejia's exceptional performance in quality, production capacity, and innovation, Sony officially recognized Yejia as its green partner in 2022 and entrusted the production of the PS VR second-generation face cover and the front and rear silicone components to Yejia. As a long-term supplier, Yejia not only contributed to Sony's product quality and environmental standards but also built a significant presence in the global VR industry.
Yejia continues to deepen its focus on consumer electronics silicone accessories, offering customers around the world a comprehensive one-stop solution from design validation to bulk delivery. We welcome inquiries for custom silicone products and exclusive technical solutions.
