As an important tool for automobile manufacturing, automobile molds’ normal operation and extension of service life are crucial to ensuring the smooth progress of automobile production. To achieve this goal, proper maintenance is essential. Professional maintenance can effectively reduce the loss and failure of molds and improve production efficiency and product quality.
First of all, cleaning and lubrication are basic requirements for maintenance. Regularly clean the surface and interior of the mold to remove dust, impurities, metal shavings, etc. to ensure a smooth surface and avoid corrosion of the mold. At the same time, lubricate the sliding parts of the mold to reduce wear and friction. When selecting lubricants, it is necessary to make a reasonable selection based on the working conditions and materials of the mold to avoid the impact of too much or too little lubricant on the mold.
Secondly, regular inspection and repair are important measures to ensure the normal operation of the mold. Check the mold's guiding system, cooling system, positioning pins and other parts to ensure accurate guidance, good cooling effect and positioning accuracy. If problems are found, they need to be repaired in time, including replacing worn parts, adjusting loose parts, repairing damaged parts, etc. During the repair process, appropriate tools and methods need to be used to avoid secondary damage to the mold.
In addition, anti-corrosion treatment is also an important maintenance measure. Molds that are not used for a long time need to be treated with anti-corrosion to prevent rust and corrosion. Anti-corrosion treatment can be carried out by applying anti-rust agent, packaging protection or controlling humidity to extend the service life of the mold.
Finally, storage and management are important aspects to ensure the service life of the mold. Proper storage and management of molds can avoid collisions and damage and extend their service life. It is recommended to regularly clean the warehouse or shelf where the mold is stored to avoid collisions, and turn the mold over regularly to avoid deformation or damage to the mold caused by long-term pressure. At the same time, a mold management system is established to record the usage, maintenance records and repair history of the molds for timely search and management.
