What is the process of making plastic molds?
Each plastic mold is a "fine product", the whole process of its production, from the selection of materials to the completion of the mold, all need to craftsmen exquisite technology and fine craftsmanship. Next Ideal Vowin plastic mold manufacturers to explain the plastic mold production process, from material selection to the whole process of mold production, I hope you can better understand how to produce high-quality plastic molds and mold products.
First, plastic mold manufacturing material selection
The material selection of plastic mold manufacturing is very important, generally speaking, the material of the mold can be divided into three categories, namely metal materials, wood and plastic. According to the use of mold requirements, choose the most appropriate material to ensure the quality and performance of the mold.
1, Metal materials: metal materials are generally used in the manufacture of high-strength, wear-resistant molds, commonly used cast iron, steel, aluminum, copper and so on.
2, Wood: wood is used to make lower quality molds, because wood is easy to rot, so generally not used for long-term use of the mold.
3, Plastic:Plastic molds have the advantages of light weight, simple structure, inexpensive, commonly used ABS, PC, PP, etc.
Second, plastic mold manufacturing mold design
Second, plastic mold manufacturing mold design
Mold design is an important part of plastic mold manufacturing, in general, need to go through the following steps:
1, Mold shape analysis: according to the size, shape and processing technology of the parts, analyze the shape of the mold, determine the structure of the mold.
2, Mold structure design: according to the processing technology of the parts, to determine the structure of the mold, and the design of the mold structure, mold parts drawings, mold assembly diagrams, etc.
3, Optimization of mold structure: Analyze and optimize the design of the mold to improve the reliability and service life of the mold.
4, Mold structure implementation: according to the mold structure diagram, making mold parts, as well as mold assembly and overall assembly.
Third, plastic mold manufacturing mold processing
Plastic mold processing is generally divided into three steps：
1, Milling: the use of machine tools milling mold surface, leveling the surface to ensure the accuracy of the mold.
2, Heat treatment: the mold surface heat treatment, in order to improve the mold wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
3, Surface treatment: Polishing, galvanizing, spraying or other treatments on the surface of the mold to improve the appearance of the surface and corrosion resistance.
Fourth, plastic mold manufacturing mold testing
Fourth, plastic mold manufacturing mold testing
Mold testing is an important part of the plastic mold manufacturing process, generally consists of the following steps:
1, Mold size detection: the size of the mold to ensure the accuracy of the mold.
2, Mold surface detection: detection of mold surface finish and flatness to ensure the quality of the mold surface.
3, Mold strength detection: with tensile machine or other equipment for mold strength testing to ensure the quality of molds.
4, Mold heat treatment detection: detection of mold heat treatment process temperature and time, in order to ensure the quality of molds.
Fifth, plastic mold manufacturing mold assembly
Fifth, plastic mold manufacturing mold assembly
Mold assembly is an important part of the plastic mold manufacturing process, mainly consists of the following steps:
1, Mold assembly plan: according to the structure of the mold, the development of mold assembly plan, clear assembly time and procedures.
2, Mold assembly: according to the mold assembly plan, according to the requirements of the mold assembly, and installation and commissioning.
3, Mold assembly testing: check the connection strength during the mold assembly process to ensure the reliability of the mold.
4, Mold assembly debugging: check the running condition of the mold, to ensure the normal operation of the mold, as well as to meet the customer's requirements.
Six, plastic mold manufacturing mold maintenance
Mold maintenance is an important part of the plastic mold manufacturing process, the specific steps are as follows:
1, mold cleaning: each use of the mold, you need to use water to clean the mold, in order to prevent the mold attached with oil and other dirt.
2, mold inspection: each time before using the mold, you need to check the mold to ensure that the mold is in good operating condition.
3, mold maintenance: regular maintenance and repair of the mold to extend the service life of the mold.
4, mold storage: mold after use, it should be placed in a dry, ventilated environment to avoid mold moisture deformation.
In summary, plastic mold manufacturing is a complex process, from material selection to mold production, each link requires professional and technical personnel to operate, and the need for regular testing of the mold, maintenance and repair to ensure the reliability and maintenance of the mold.
