For many colleagues who have had initial contact with the mold industry or have played functional management or sales positions, their understanding of molds is largely vague and difficult to understand. Therefore, many mold businesses will require staff to intern on the production site at the beginning, and only during the internship can they understand the basic knowledge of molds. Here are some images of mold principles to bring the same awareness to everyone
Stamping die
Stamping dies, according to their process properties: punching die, bending die, drawing die, forming die, riveting die
1. Stamping mold: a mold that separates material production along a closed or open contour. Such as stamping dies, punching dies, cutting dies, cutting dies, trimming dies, cutting dies, etc.
2. Bending mold: The blank or other blank is bent and deformed along a straight line (bending curve) to obtain a certain angle and shape of the workpiece mold.
3. Wire drawing mold: The blank is made of open hollow parts or hollow components to further change the shape and size of the mold.
4. Forming mold: The blank or semi-finished product protrudes according to the shape, and the concave mold shape is directly copied and formed, while the material itself only produces local plastic deformation of the mold. Such as convex molds, necking molds, expansion molds, undulating molding molds, folding molds, plastic molds, etc.
5. Riveting mold: It involves using external force to connect or overlap parts in a certain order and manner, forming a whole.
According to the degree of process combination classification, molds can be divided into four categories: single-mode, composite mold, progressive mold, and rotary mold.
1. Single process mode: During the press process, only the stamping process of the mold can be completed.
2. Composite mold: With only one workstation, two or more stamping processing molds can be completed simultaneously at the same workstation in one stroke.
3. Progressive mold (also known as continuous mode): In the feeding direction, two or more workstations are used in the press to complete the process at different workstations
