What should be paid attention to when protecting and repairing injection molds in injection mold factories?
The protection and maintenance of injection molds are crucial links in injection molding factories, playing a decisive role in ensuring production efficiency and product quality. As a production tool, injection molds directly affect the shape, specifications, dimensions, and appearance smoothness of products. Their materials are mostly steel, usually consisting of a front mold and a rear mold. In the process of protecting and repairing molds, there are some key precautions that need special attention.
1. The protection of the mold is crucial.
Due to the specificity, precision, and vulnerability of molds, a series of measures need to be taken to ensure their safety protection. Rust prevention is one of the important tasks to prevent molds from rusting due to water leakage, condensation, rain, fingerprints, etc. In addition, sufficient attention should be paid to collision prevention, puncture removal, missing parts, pressure prevention, and undervoltage to avoid mold damage. Especially the main reasons for mold damage are the breakage of the top pin, failure to retract in place, residual products in the mold, and lack of accessories, so special attention should be paid.
To avoid production delays and high maintenance costs caused by mold damage,
Some companies have developed mold protectors through research and improvement, which can effectively monitor and protect expensive molds. Mold protectors can check product quality during injection molding machine operation, avoid mold damage, and improve production efficiency.
3. Mold maintenance is also crucial.
When disassembling the mold, it is necessary to avoid collision and water splashing, and the movement should be smooth. Spraying hot molds, spraying a small amount of release agent, conducting a comprehensive inspection and rust prevention treatment of the molds, removing moisture and debris, spraying rust inhibitors, and applying butter are all essential steps.
4. Mold maintenance is also essential.
During continuous operation, molds are prone to issues such as component wear, lubricant deterioration, water leakage, and plastic compression damage, requiring daily maintenance and mold maintenance. Daily maintenance includes regular rust removal, re lubrication, and replacement of easily worn parts, while lower mold maintenance requires professional maintenance personnel to conduct professional testing and protection.
The protection and maintenance of injection molds are essential tasks in injection molding factories. Only by doing a good job in protecting and maintaining molds can we ensure smooth production, improve product quality, reduce production costs, and achieve maximum economic benefits. I hope the injection molding industry can attach importance to mold protection and maintenance work, continuously improve management level, and promote the sustainable development of the industry.
