Mold manufacturer, injection mold protection and maintenance
Date: September 6, 2024
The protection and maintenance of injection molds are important issues that injection molding factories must pay attention to. As the core of production tools, injection molds directly affect the quality and appearance of products. The protection of molds is crucial because molds have characteristics such as specificity, precision, and vulnerability. To protect the mold, attention should be paid to rust prevention, anti-collision, deburring, missing parts, anti pressure, and under pressure. Especially, attention should be paid to preventing situations such as needle breakage, failure to retract properly, residual products in the mold, and missing parts, as these are the main causes of mold damage.
In order to avoid production delays and high maintenance costs caused by mold damage, some companies have developed mold protectors, namely mold monitors or mold electronic eyes, through research and improvement. This product can be inspected for product quality during the operation of the injection molding machine to prevent mold damage. The mold protector can detect abnormal situations such as plastic residue or slider misalignment, and automatically prevent mold closure and issue an alarm when problems occur.
When repairing molds, it is important to avoid collision and water damage, and to move smoothly. In addition, the hot mold should be sprayed with a small amount of release agent, and the mold should be thoroughly inspected and treated for rust prevention. Moisture and debris should be removed, and rust inhibitor and butter should be sprayed.
Mold maintenance is also crucial because during continuous operation, the mold may experience wear, lubricant deterioration, water leakage, and plastic material compression damage. Mold maintenance is divided into daily maintenance and lower mold maintenance. Daily maintenance includes regular rust removal, re lubrication, and replacement of easily worn parts. And the maintenance of the lower mold requires professional maintenance personnel to remove the mold for professional testing and protection.
In summary, the protection and maintenance of injection molds are important tasks that injection molding factories must pay attention to. Only by strengthening the protection, maintenance, and upkeep of molds can we ensure their normal operation, improve production efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and make the injection molding industry develop more steadily.
