Have you repaired your precision plastic mold parts?

In a twinkling of an eye, there are about 60 days left in 2020. Our mold equipment has been running for a year. Have you repaired your precision plastic mold parts recently?

Regular maintenance of precision plastic mold parts is beneficial to prolong the service life of the mold. The annual maintenance procedure required for each injection molding location depends on the mold cycle cycle. In order to ensure the effective operation of hot runner, heater, guide pillar and thimble, molding insert and other mold components, it is necessary to regularly overhaul the mold accessories to prevent accidents. Next, Yize will introduce some maintenance tips for precision plastic mold parts:

1. Check whether there is early warning rust or moisture at the air vent. If you find rust or moisture near the hot runner vent, it means condensation inside, or the water pipe may break. Moisture can cause a fatal short circuit to the heater. If the machine is not running all year round and needs to be shut down at night or on weekends, the probability of this condensation will increase.
2. Sliding buckle. This should be done once a week for machines that are often in operation. Now you can also give these parts a routine lubrication maintenance.
3. Measure the resistance of heater. Compare the measured resistance value with the resistance value at the beginning of use. If the resistance value fluctuates by ± 10%, it is necessary to replace the heater to ensure that it will not fail at the critical moment in the production process.
4. Check whether there is any sign of wear between the guide post and the guide sleeve. A little bit of wear can be added lubricant, if the wear is serious, you need to replace the new parts.
5. Check the water flow. The water is blocked. It may be blocked somewhere.
6. It has been more than half a year since 2020 to clean the thimble. There will be a lot of gas accumulation and film impurities adhering to the thimble. It needs to be cleaned with cleaning agent and coated with a layer of lubricant.

The above is the precision plastic mold parts maintenance method summarized by Yize. Whether it's plastic mold parts or other mold parts, if you haven't started to overhaul, read this article and hurry up!
