Maintenance Principles of Stamping Mould
Stamping mould is an important tool for stamping parts, which has a great influence on product quality. In order to maintain good performance and extend the service life, regular maintenance should be carried out for all kinds of stamping moulds. The following is the principle of general preventive maintenance of stamping moulds.
1. Cleaning
Regular cleaning is a very important part of maintaining a good stamping mould. After each stamping, check whether the mould cavity is clean, if not, use a clean cloth or an air gun to clean the mould cavity and all parts of the mould body, to ensure that in the stamping of the next batch of products, there is no material residue, so as to ensure the quality and accuracy of the products.
2. Maintenance and lubrication
In the case of high-speed stamping, lubricants need to be added to ensure that the pressing force is evenly and smoothly distributed. Only appropriate lubrication can reduce surface friction and reduce wear. Incorrect lubrication (such as overly generous or too little lubrication) will cause the sliding parts of the mould to become jammed, and eventually lead to the deformation of the mould. In addition, when doing lubrication, we should use professional lubricating oil according to the structure and performance characteristics of the stamping mould, for example, to avoid using oil soluble cooling fluids.
3. Adjustment
In the process of stamping, due to the long-term application of stamping force and high-speed operation, there will be deformation, wear, loosening and other phenomena, destroying the shape, dimension and accuracy of stamping parts. Therefore, regular maintenance is required to detect whether the mould is adjustable, and make relevant adjustments according to the situation, so as to ensure the consistency and accuracy of stamping parts.
4. Regular repair
Stamping moulds often suffer from wear and tear, especially in high-volume applications. Regular inspections should be conducted to find out if there is any wear and tear, and then make repairs in a timely manner, such as abrasive machining and welding, to ensure that stamping parts can achieve the designed accuracy and quality.
In summary, regular maintenance is one of the most important steps in ensuring the good performance and life of the stamping mould. However, the information described above is not exhaustive. Depending on the complexity of the stamping mould, it may also require specialized maintenance methods. Therefore, manufacturers should pay attention to the maintenance of the stamping mould and establish a maintenance plan to ensure the smooth production of stamping parts.
