Segmentation Strategy Based on Product Characteristics: When designing mold cores for injection molding, the primary consideration is the complexity of product shape and function, which serves as the basis for reasonable segmentation to ensure ease of processing. To optimize the plastic injection molding process and enhance the feasibility of mold manufacturing techniques, we should aim to divide the mold into multiple components that are easy to grind, while also focusing on improving electrical discharge machining (EDM) processes to minimize manufacturing costs while maintaining quality.
The Importance of Standardized Design: During the mold disassembly stage, incorporating standardized design principles is crucial. This requires mold components to be easily assembled and disassembled, facilitating routine maintenance and aiming to reduce labor intensity and maintenance costs, thereby enhancing overall production efficiency. Standardized design enables quick replacement of worn parts, shortens downtime, and achieves long-term cost savings.
Optimizing the Balance of Core Thickness: The design of mold core components should not solely pursue thinness, as excessively thin cores compromise the structural strength of the mold, increasing the risk of wear and damage, which is detrimental to production stability and subsequent maintenance. Furthermore, an excessive number of parts accumulates tolerances, necessitating stricter control over the processing accuracy of each part, which prolongs manufacturing cycles and significantly increases manufacturing costs. Therefore, the design must strike an optimal balance between core thickness, strength, processing accuracy, and cost.
