Overview of mold making

Keyboards and mice are computer peripheral products, and the production of plastic molds is one of the key links in their production. The process of making plastic molds includes multiple links such as design, manufacturing, cooling, mold testing, and mold repairing. It is necessary to strictly control the quality of each link to ensure the accuracy, durability and manufacturing efficiency of plastic molds.

Mold design

1. Product design

The first step in mold making is to determine the product design. The designer needs to carry out the overall design according to the product's use scene, working principle, external dimensions and other elements, and make preliminary product drawings and related parameter data.

2. Process design

On the basis of product design, production process design is also required in mold making. The process includes multiple links such as mold design, mold manufacturing, mold cooling, mold trial, mold adjustment, etc. Each link needs to be set according to the specific process to ensure the smooth and efficient process of the entire mold making process.

3. Mold design

Mold design is one of the most critical links in mold making. This link needs to design a complete and fine mold according to the product design requirements and production process. Mold design mainly includes mold structure design, mold parts design, mold size design, mold trial material selection and other aspects, and it needs to be operated strictly according to the requirements to ensure the precision and quality of mold making.

Mold manufacturing

After the mold design is completed, it is necessary to start the specific manufacturing process. The process mainly includes multiple steps such as material preparation, CNC machining, manual machining, and machining accuracy testing. It is necessary to strictly control the quality of each link to ensure that the produced molds meet the requirements.

1. Material preparation

The manufacturing material of plastic molds is generally steel, and the selection and treatment of steel are different according to different products. For large molds, the quality of material selection and processing will directly affect the quality and production efficiency of the produced plastic products.

2. CNC machining

CNC machining is one of the main ways of modern mold manufacturing. CNC equipment can be processed more accurately and efficiently, thus ensuring high precision and high production efficiency of the mold. In CNC machining, fine machining such as turning, milling, planing, and drilling of molds is required, as well as heat treatment and surface treatment of some key parts.

3. Manual processing

Manual processing is one of the basic links in mold manufacturing. Especially for some fine molds, it needs a lot of manual manufacturing and assembly to achieve the ideal production effect. Manual processing includes milling, cooling, shock resistance testing, assembly and other links.

4. Processing accuracy detection

In the mold manufacturing process, it is necessary to carry out precision detection on various manufacturing processes. This detection requires the use of some specialized equipment, including altimeters, digital calipers, three-coordinate measurement, and more. These devices can be used to detect whether the processing accuracy of each part of the mold meets the requirements, so as to ensure the accuracy and production efficiency of mold making.

Mold cooling

After the mold is manufactured, it is necessary to carry out the corresponding mold trial work. Among them, cooling is a key link. By arranging appropriate cooling nodes in the mold, it can ensure that the temperature and time of the mold and mold trial process are properly controlled, thereby ensuring the efficiency and stability of the mold, as well as the quality and reliability of the produced plastic products.

Mold trial

Mold trial is a very important link. Only through the trial verification can it be confirmed whether the design and manufacture of the mold meet the requirements. This link needs to carry out early mold angle adjustment, mold dynamic debugging, injection molding process test, etc., to determine whether the mold can be produced according to the requirements.

Mold repair

In the process of mold making, some problems may need to be corrected and adjusted. At this time, mold repair work is required. This link is mainly divided into two parts: repair and adjustment. Repairs need to deal with various forms of damage, and adjustments need to correct problems in the geometry of some key parts and dimensional deviations.

Conclusion

The production of plastic molds is complex and rigorous, and requires precise operations in multiple steps to ensure the final production of products that meet the requirements. In actual work, we should pay attention to the details and precision of each link, continuously strengthen learning and improve the skill level, and lay a solid foundation for the production of high-quality and high-efficiency plastic products.
