Protection of molds

Due to the specificity, precision, vulnerability and other characteristics of molds, it is crucial to ensure the safety of molds. Overall, the following aspects can be summarized:

1. Rust prevention: To prevent rusting caused by water leakage/condensation/rain/fingerprints in the injection molding machine mold.

2. Collision prevention: To prevent the phenomenon of mold damage caused by the breakage or failure of the ejector pin to retract into place

3. Deburring: To prevent mold burrs caused by cloth brushing, material flushing, hand brushing, and water nozzle pliers collision.

4. Missing parts: To prevent damage to the mold during use due to the lack of pull rods/washers and other parts.

5. Anti pressure: To prevent mold damage caused by mold locking due to residual products.

6. Underpressure: To prevent damage to the mold caused by excessive low-pressure protection pressure.

The proportion of mold damage caused by breakage of the ejector pin, failure to retract the ejector pin in place, residual products in the mold, and lack of accessories is relatively high, and due to frequent occurrence, more than 85% of mold damage is caused by this reason. The maintenance cost of molds is generally high, so how to avoid such situations is directly related to the interests of the injection molding industry.

In order to prevent production delays caused by mold damage and high maintenance costs, as well as to better save human resources, Anqi Technology has developed a product called "Mold Protector" using machine vision technology through continuous research and improvement.

Mold monitor, or mold protector, also known as mold electronic eye, can effectively protect expensive molds. The injection molding machine mold protection system, installed on the injection molding machine, can directly check whether the product is qualified, and check for any residue before mold closing to prevent mold clamping damage. During the operation of the injection molding machine, expensive molds may be at risk of damage due to plastic residue or misplaced sliders during each cycle. Anqi prevents these situations from happening and automatically prevents mold closure and alarms in case of abnormalities.

If the mold is damaged due to ineffective mold protection, we offer you the following suggestions:

Precautions for mold maintenance:

1. When disassembling the mold, avoid scratches and water splashing, and move smoothly.

2. Spray rust inhibitor and then spray a small amount of release agent.

3. A comprehensive inspection and rust prevention treatment should be carried out on the mold: carefully dry the moisture and debris in the mold cavity, core, ejection mechanism, and row position, and spray the mold rust inhibitor and apply butter.
