In mold manufacturing, mastering basic technical knowledge and best practices is essential to ensure mold performance and production efficiency. This guide will outline the core technical points of mold design, manufacturing and maintenance to help you optimize the use and management of molds.
Foundation of mold design
Design phase: includes requirements analysis3D modeling, and design validation. Ensure mold design meets product specifications and efficient production.
Material selection: Select the right mold material (such as steel, aluminum, plastic), considering the wear resistance, processing difficulty and cost.
Cooling system design: Reasonable design of cooling channels to ensure uniform mold temperature during the production process to prevent overheating or uneven cooling.
Fabrication process
Processing technology: The use of high-precision processing equipment (such as CNC machine tools) for mold processing to ensure the accuracy of mold size and shape.
Surface treatment: The die surface is treated, such as chrome plating, spraying or nitriding, to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
Assembly and debugging: When assembling the mold, ensure the exact fit of each part, and debug to verify the function and performance of the mold.
Mold maintenance and maintenance
Regular inspection: regular inspection of mold wear, cooling system and lubrication status, timely detection and solution of problems.
Cleaning and lubrication: Keep the mold clean and add lubricating oil to the moving parts regularly to reduce friction and wear.
Maintenance records: Maintain detailed maintenance records, track mold maintenance history, and help develop more effective maintenance plans.
Precautions in production
Operating specifications: Follow the operating specifications to avoid damage caused by mold overload or improper operation.
Quality control: Implement strict quality control to ensure that the products in the production process meet the quality standards and reduce the loss of molds.
