YIXUN mold
8480419090
Cavity & Core: They determine the part’s shape.
Gating System: It channels molten plastic into the cavity.
Cooling System: It controls the mold’s temperature to ensure consistent part quality and cycle times.
Ejection System: It pushes the finished part out of the mold.
Guidance Mechanism: It ensures precise alignment when the mold opens and closes.
| Mold Type | Application |
|---|---|
| Single - Cavity Mold | For high - precision, complex parts like medical devices or automotive components. |
| Multi - Cavity Mold | For high - volume, relatively simple parts such as bottle caps and daily necessities. |
| Hot Runner Mold | For high - value, large - batch parts like car interiors and electronics, as it reduces material waste. |
| Stack Mold | For ultra - high - volume, small parts like electronic components, doubling production output. |
P20 Steel: It’s suitable for general plastics and small production runs. It offers a good balance of cost and basic performance.
H13 Steel: It has high resistance to heat and wear, making it ideal for engineering plastics and large - scale production.
S136 Steel: It’s corrosion - resistant and easy to polish, so it’s used for transparent parts and medical - grade products.
Mold Complexity: Designs with multiple cavities or hot runners take more time.
Material Procurement: Special steels may need custom ordering.
Machining Capacity: Advanced equipment like 5 - axis CNC machines can speed up the machining of complex structures.
Trial Runs and Modifications: Fewer design iterations mean a shorter lead time.
Molding Stability: Whether the part’s dimensions are accurate and the surface finish is good.
Process Feasibility: If the injection parameters (like pressure and temperature) are set correctly.
Structural Rationality: If the ejection is smooth and the cooling is even.
Simple molds need 1–2 trials, while complex ones may require 3–5.
Precision: Check if the dimensional tolerances are met and the cavity has the required finish (e.g., mirror polishing).
Stability: See if the part quality remains consistent during continuous production.
Durability: Observe the wear rate of key areas (like the core and cavity) and the mold’s structural fatigue resistance.
Documentation: Ensure there are complete design drawings, material certificates, and trial run records.
Before production: Check the tightness of components and clean the cavities and runners.
After production: Clean the mold, apply rust - proof oil, and record production data (such as the number of shots and any faults).
To extend lifespan:
Use surface hardening methods like nitriding or chrome plating.
Optimize the cooling system to reduce thermal stress.
Set injection parameters properly to avoid overloading.
Arrange regular professional inspections.
3D part models in formats like STP or IGS.
2D engineering drawings with dimensional tolerances and surface requirements marked.
The selected material (e.g., PP, ABS, PA + GF).
The expected production volume (annual output estimate).
Special requirements such as food - grade certification or anti - static properties.
Design reviews to confirm parting lines and gate locations.
DFM (Design for Manufacturability) analysis to optimize the part design for moldability.
The approval of trial samples to inspect the first - shot dimensions and appearance.
Formal documents like design approval forms and sample acceptance sheets help ensure alignment on requirements.
