Mold Types We Involved
There are various types of molds, each tailored for specific applications.
Punch Dies
Punch dies are specialized tools used in manufacturing to cut, shape, and form materials precisely. They are vital in industries like automotive and sheet metal fabrication, where they create intricate shapes, stamp logos, and ensure high-quality production. Made from hardened steel, punch dies offer durability and efficiency in high-volume manufacturing processes.
Silicone Molds
Silicone molds are versatile tools for creating replicas of objects or shaping various materials. Their flexibility and non-stick properties make demolding easy, even for complex shapes. These molds are heat-resistant and durable, suitable for crafting, baking, or casting a wide range of items, including chocolates, soaps, and resin art.
Plastic Injection Moulds
Injection molds are crucial in manufacturing, especially for plastics. They shape molten material into intricate, precise components. These molds are custom-designed for each product, ensuring consistency and quality. With high durability and precision, injection molds are indispensable in various industries, from automotive to consumer goods manufacturing.
Die Casting Moulds
Die casting molds are essential in metal manufacturing processes. They enable the production of complex, high-precision metal parts with tight tolerances. Typically made of steel, these molds endure high temperatures and pressures as molten metal is injected, resulting in consistent, high-quality components used in industries like automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
Mould Processing Steps
Mold processing involves a series of meticulously orchestrated steps. From initial design and material selection to machining, assembly, and quality checks, each phase is critical to ensure precision and reliability. Our systematic approach guarantees that your molds meet the highest standards, delivering outstanding results for your products.
01. Incoming Quality Control
Upon finalizing the mold design, we initiate the procurement of steels and mold base components. Subsequently, these materials undergo rigorous quality checks in our QC department.
02. Drilling & Tapping
We begin the manufacturing process with precision drilling, creating holes for cooling lines, threading, and ejector pins. Following this, we proceed with meticulous thread processing to ensure that every component meets the highest standards of quality and functionality in our molds.
03. CNC Rough Machining
CNC rough machining is the initial step in transforming raw materials into intricate mold components. High-precision machinery removes excess material, shaping the parts close to their final form. This critical phase sets the foundation for precise finishing, ultimately delivering molds that meet stringent quality standards and client expectations.
04. Heat Treatment
Heat treatment is a vital process in mold manufacturing, strengthening steel components to endure demanding conditions. Through controlled heating and cooling, the steel attains the desired hardness and durability. This meticulous procedure ensures that our molds are robust, capable of withstanding prolonged usage, and consistently delivering top-notch results.
05. CNC Finish Machining
CNC finish machining is the precision refinement stage in mold production. Utilizing advanced technology, we achieve the final, exact dimensions and surface quality, ensuring flawless mold performance. This meticulous process guarantees that our molds meet the most stringent specifications, delivering exceptional quality and precision to our clients.
06. Wire-Electrode Cutting
Wire-electrode cutting, or wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), is a precise machining technique. It uses an electrically charged wire to erode the workpiece material, creating intricate and precise shapes. This method is ideal for molds and intricate parts, ensuring high accuracy and minimal material waste.
07. EDM
EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is a crucial process in mold manufacturing. It employs electrical discharges to precisely shape hardened steel. By eroding material with high-frequency sparks, EDM achieves intricate mold cavities, cores, and details with exceptional accuracy. This method is indispensable for creating molds that meet stringent quality and precision standards.
08. Mould Fitting
Mold fitting is the meticulous assembly of mold components with precision and expertise. Each part, from the core to cavity, is meticulously aligned to ensure seamless functionality. This crucial process guarantees that the mold operates flawlessly, producing high-quality parts that meet the most demanding specifications and client requirements.
09. Mould Assembly
Mold assembly is the culmination of precision engineering, where meticulously crafted mold components are expertly fitted together. This critical phase ensures that all parts, from cores to cavities, align perfectly. The result is a fully functional mold, capable of producing high-quality products that meet the strictest standards and client expectations.
10. Mould Trial
Mold trials are essential final steps in the mold manufacturing process. During these trials, molds are rigorously tested to ensure their functionality and performance. Adjustments are made as necessary to achieve optimal results, guaranteeing that the mold operates flawlessly in production, delivering high-quality parts consistently.
