How to use and maintain hardware molds correctly and reasonably?

Since the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of the national economy, the demand for molds in the stamping hardware mold industry has been continuously increasing in the market. In recent years, the mold industry has been developing rapidly at a growth rate of about 15%, and the ownership of mold industry enterprises has also undergone significant changes. In addition to state-owned professional mold factories, collective, joint venture, sole proprietorship, and private enterprises have also experienced rapid development. The stamping hardware mold industry is also one of them.

With the acceleration of international integration and the intensification of market competition, people have increasingly recognized the importance of product quality, cost, and the ability to develop new products. Mold manufacturing is one of the most basic elements in the whole chain. Mold manufacturing technology has become an important symbol to measure the level of a country‘s manufacturing industry, and to a large extent, determines the survival space of enterprises.

Stamping hardware molds are used in cold stamping to process materials (metal or non-metal) into parts (or semi-finished products). Stamping is a pressure processing method that uses a mold installed on a press to apply pressure to a material at room temperature, causing separation or plastic deformation, in order to obtain the required parts.

In order to protect normal production, improve the quality of stamping hardware molds, reduce costs, and extend the service life of stamping dies, it is necessary to use and maintain the molds correctly and reasonably, strictly implement the "three inspections" system of stamping dies (pre use inspection, during use inspection, and post use inspection), and do a good job in stamping and maintenance work. Its main work includes the correct installation and debugging of molds; Strictly control the depth of the convex mold entering the concave mold; Control and correct the extension of the lower dead center of the upper mold during processes such as bending, cold extrusion, and shaping; Timely re grinding and polishing the edges of chess tools; Pay attention to maintaining the cleanliness and proper lubrication of chess equipment. The correct use and reasonable maintenance of molds are crucial for improving the lifespan of molds.
