Injection molds should also pay attention to maintenance when they are in use!

The technical content of the injection mold is very high, and there are many parts. If you do not pay attention to the maintenance and maintenance of each component during use, damage and corrosion will easily occur, resulting in economic losses of tens of thousands or even millions of yuan. Therefore, when the injection mold is in use, we must pay attention to the maintenance and maintenance of the mold.

1. Provide information about finding and solving problems, which can find out the damaged parts and the degree of wear, shorten the trial run time of the mold, and improve production efficiency. 2. Before using the injection molding machine and the injection mold, it is necessary to perform various performance tests on the mold, and then measure the size of the final molded plastic part. After the test, the current state of the mold can be determined. According to the data, it can be judged whether the mold is damaged or needs repairing.

3. Focus on tracking and testing several important parts of the mold. The function of the ejector and guide parts is to ensure the opening and closing movement of the mold and the ejection of the plastic parts. If any of these parts are damaged, production will be affected. After the production cycle is completed, anti-rust oil needs to be applied to the moving and guiding parts. Special attention should be paid to protecting the bearing parts of the gear and rack molds and the elastic strength of the spring molds to ensure that they are always in good working condition.

In addition, the cleaning of cooling channels has a significant impact on production efficiency and product quality. As the production time continues, the cooling channel is prone to fouling, rust, silt and algae, which reduces the cross-section of the cooling channel and narrows the cooling channel, which greatly reduces the heat exchange rate between the cooling liquid and the mold, Increased the production cost of the enterprise. The surface of the injection mold needs to be maintained frequently, because it will directly affect the surface quality of the product, mainly for anti-rust treatment.

After the mold completes the production task, different methods should be used to carefully remove the residual injection moldings according to different injection molding methods. Well-maintained molds can shorten mold assembly and test run times, make production run smoothly, reduce production failures, ensure product quality, and reduce business operating costs and fixed asset investments. When the next production cycle begins, the company is able to successfully produce acceptable product.

Therefore, for injection molding product processing companies, in the current fierce market competition, well-maintained molds can help the company.
