What are the process standards for machining mold parts such as mold nuts, inserts, tilt tops, sliders, etc. for injection molding production?

        In order to ensure the rationality and consistency of the mold making and processing process, optimize the processing process, and improve the progress of mold making, each mold factory will generally formulate a process standard suitable for this factory. This article provides a standard for reference.


I. Craftsman compiling process card
 
        Craftsman compiling process card should be detailed in the process card to indicate the amount of machining reserve, the orientation of the reserve, roughness requirements and precautions.
 
        Processing process card preparation principles: in the premise of being able to ensure accuracy and quality, give priority to the use of equipment with high processing efficiency. The processing efficiency of milling machine, CNC, grinding machine is faster than that of wire-cutting and electric pulse, especially the slowest processing efficiency of electric pulse. The dimensions on the drawings cannot be changed at will (only the technician can change them).

II. Principle of machining allowance
 
        Need heat treatment processing of the workpiece, heat treatment before the shape of the preparation size of one side plus 0.25mm grinding allowance, mold nuts, inserts need CNC rough machining of the part, one side of the allowance 0.2mm, clamp milling machine rough milling shape of one side of the allowance 0.3-0.5mm, wire cutting after the need for grinder processing of the workpiece, molding part of one side of the allowance 0.05mm, shape of the rough one side of the allowance 0.1mm The grinding allowance of 0.1mm is reserved for one side of the shape roughing; After CNC finishing and electric pulse, the workpiece should be mirror polished, and the polishing allowance of 0.03mm is reserved for one side of the workpiece.
 
III. Processing accuracy requirements
 
        The manufacturing accuracy of the mold size should be within 0.005 ~ 0.02mm; verticality requirements in the range of 0.01 ~ 0.02mm; coaxiality requirements in the range of 0.01 ~ 0.03mm; moving, fixed mold parting surface of the two planes of the parallelism requirements in the range of 0.01 ~ 0.03mm.
 
        After closing the mold, the gap between the parting surfaces is less than the overflow value of the molded plastic. The rest of the template with the parallelism of the surface requirements in the range of 0.01 ~ 0.02mm; fixed part of the general selection of the accuracy of the fit within the range of 0.01 ~ 0.02mm; small cores if there is no requirement for insertion or the size of the impact of the small can be taken to the bilateral 0.01 ~ 0.02mm gap fit; sliding part of the general selection of the accuracy of the fit H7/e6, H7/f7, H7/g6 three kinds of.
 
        Note: Mirror, such as those who have made a dependency step of the inserts, with can not be too tight, otherwise in the inserts from the front to the back when knocking, used to knock the tool is easy to touch the mirror, such as not affecting the size of the product, can be taken as a bilateral 0.01 ~ 0.02mm clearance with.
 

IV. The principle of CNC dismantling electrode
 
        Mold cavity core should be removed first appearance of the main electrode, and then remove the other main electrode, and finally remove the local electrode; fixed mold appearance electrode should be considered as a whole processing, the CNC clearing angle can not be used to clear the angle of the line cutting, so that the appearance of the fixed mold surface is complete, no joint marks; the depth of the moving mold is not a big difference in the reinforcing bars, bars, columns can be processed together as far as possible to do in an electrode; deeper bars to do inserts, to be done individually! Electrode side hit, in order to prevent the accumulation of carbon when the electric pulse; dynamic mold electrode try not to CNC milling after a good but also wire cutting clear angle, such as to, the electrode should be broken down and disassembled or directly using wire cutting; dynamic mold of the tendon part and the bar bit or column spacing more than 35mm, it should be separated to do, saving copper.
 
        Large electrode roughing spark bit to do unilateral 0.3mm, finishing spark bit to do unilateral 0.15mm; general electrode roughing spark bit to do unilateral 0.2mm, finishing spark bit to do unilateral 0.1mm; small electrode roughing spark bit to do unilateral 0.15mm, finishing spark bit to do unilateral 0.07mm.
 
V. CNC machining principle
 
        Mold nuts, inserts need CNC roughing part, one side of the margin reserved 0.2mm, heat treatment needs CNC finishing workpiece, if the product appearance allows, CNC can be finished in place of the mold cavity core, priority CNC machining, such as can not be processed in place to do the electrode, with electric pulse processing.
