How can we avoid mold failures before production?

We would like to share with you the preventive measures to avoid the failures.
1.Daily maintenance
Regularly inspect and maintain the mold, including cleaning, lubrication, tightening, etc., in order to extend the working life of the mold and reduce the occurrence of abnormal conditions.
2.Reasonable use of molds
It needs to use the mold according to the design requirements and instructions to avoid mold abnormalities caused by overload or incorrect use.
3.Monitoring and measuring
The condition of the mold needs to be monitored by observing the mold appearance, measuring the mold size, and detecting the mold quality with instruments, etc.. In this case, mold abnormal conditions can be found and solved in time.
4.Improve mold design and manufacturing process
During the design and manufacturing process of the mold, use advanced materials and processes to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the mold and reduce the deformation and wear of the mold.
5.Strengthen operator training and management
Mold users need to have certain professional knowledge and skills to correctly operate and maintain the mold to avoid mold abnormalities.
6.Preventive maintenance
-Establish a complete mold use record and monitoring system.
-Analyze the mold operation data to timely discover potential faults.
7.Emergency maintenance
When a mold has a sudden failure, it should be stopped immediately. Then professional technicians should quickly diagnose the problem and carry out targeted repairs. After repaired, it needs to retest to ensure that the mold returns to normal working condition.
8.Replacement and scrap management
Mold should be replaced in a timely manner when it is severely damaged, cannot be repaired, or has too high repair costs. At the same time, a mold scrapping regulation should be established to ensure the safety and efficiency of the production process.
9.Mold precision calibration
Molds that have been used for a long time may have dimensional deviations. It should be regularly calibrated by means of measurement, adjustment, grinding, etc. to ensure that the mold can stably produce products that meet the requirements.
10.Lubrication and rust prevention
Apply high-quality lubricants to the moving parts of the mold to reduce friction and wear, and then use anti-rust oil or spray. It needs to pay special attention to the cutting edge and cavity part of the mold.
11.Inspection and adjustment
Regularly check the key parts of the mold, such as the cutting edge, guide pin, etc. and record the degree of wear. According to the inspection results, adjust the mold gap to ensure the accuracy of the product size.

By implementing the above preventive measures, it can ensure the mold normal operation and extend the working life to the maximum extent. Thus the production efficiency and product quality can be improved.
