Mold manufacturing:
The requirements of mold manufacturer design and manufacture are: accurate size, smooth surface; Reasonable structure, high production efficiency and easy automation; Easy manufacturing, long service life and low cost; The design meets the process requirements and is economical and reasonable.
The die structure design and parameter selection must consider such factors as rigidity, guidance, unloading mechanism, positioning method, clearance size, etc. The wearing parts on the mold shall be easy to replace. For plastic mold and die-casting mold, reasonable gating system, molten plastic or metal flow state, and the position and direction of entering the cavity should also be considered. In order to improve productivity and reduce runner pouring loss, multi cavity mold can be used, and multiple identical or different products can be completed simultaneously in one mold. High precision and long-life moulds shall be used in mass production.
Multi station progressive die shall be adopted for stamping die, and carbide insert progressive die can be adopted to improve service life. In small batch production and trial production of new products, simple dies with simple structure, fast manufacturing and low cost shall be used, such as combined die, sheet die, polyurethane rubber die, low melting point alloy die, zinc alloy die, superplastic alloy die, etc. The mold has begun to use computer aided design (CAD), that is, through a computer centered system to optimize the mold design. This is the development direction of mold design.
