Several elements of safety protection of metal mold material steel

As the most important production tool of the mold factory, it determines the shape, specification, size, and appearance finish of the product. The material of the hardware mold is steel, which is generally composed of a front mold/rear mold.

　　 Mold protection

　　 Because the mold has the characteristics of specificity, precision, vulnerability, etc., it is very important to protect the safety of the mold. The overall summary is as follows:

　　1. Rust prevention: Prevent rusting caused by water leakage/condensation/rain/fingerprints in the injection molding machine mold.

　　2. Anti-collision: Prevent the mold from being damaged due to the breakage of the thimble and the failure to retract the mold.

　　3. Deburring: Prevent mold burrs caused by cloth wiping/material flushing/hand wiping/nozzle pliers touching/knife touching.

　　4. Missing parts: Prevent the mold from being damaged during use due to the lack of tie rods/washers and other parts.

　　5. Anti-pressure: Prevent the mold from being crushed due to the mold being locked due to the remaining product.

　　6. Underpressure: to prevent mold damage caused by excessive low pressure protection.

　　 Among them, the proportion of mold damage caused by broken thimble, thimble not returning in place, residual product in mold, lack of accessories, and more frequent occurrence, so more than 85% of mold damage is caused by this reason Yes, and mold maintenance costs are generally high, so how to avoid such situations is directly related to the interests of the injection molding industry.

In order to prevent production delays caused by mold damage and high maintenance costs, and to better save labor resources, Anqi Technology has developed a product using machine vision technology after continuous research and improvement. It is a mold protector.

　　Anqi mold monitor, or mold protector, also known as mold electronic eye, can effectively protect valuable molds. Anqi injection molding machine mold protection system, installed on the injection molding machine, can directly check whether the product is qualified, and check whether there are residues before closing the mold to prevent mold damage. When the injection molding machine is running, expensive molds may be damaged due to plastic residues or misalignment of sliders during each cycle. Anqi prevents these situations from happening, and automatically prevents mold closing and alarms when abnormalities occur.

　　If the mold is damaged due to failure to take effective mold protection, we will give you the following suggestions:

　　Mould maintenance precautions:

　　 1. When disassembling the mold, avoid bumps and water, and move smoothly.

　　2. Spray hot mold, then spray a small amount of release agent

　　3. To conduct a comprehensive inspection of the mold and perform anti-rust treatment: carefully wipe off the moisture and debris in the cavity, core, ejector mechanism, and row position, and spray the mold with anti-rust agent and apply butter.

Mould maintenance

　　During the continuous working process of the mold, it is easy to cause the wear and tear of parts, lubricant deterioration, water leakage, plastic material crushing and other problems during the movement.

　　 Mold maintenance is generally divided into daily maintenance and lower mold maintenance

　　Daily maintenance of molds generally includes the following aspects:

　　 1. Regular derusting (appearance, PL surface, cavity, core, etc.)

　　2. Regularly re-add lubricant (ejection mechanism, row position, etc.)

　　3. Regular replacement of wear parts (tie rods, bolts, etc.)

　　4. Other things that need attention

　　 The lower mold maintenance of the mold requires professional maintenance personnel to remove the mold, and then conduct professional testing and protection of the mold cavity and thimble.
