Application Of Custom Stamping Die
1.Automotive Industry
Custom stamping die is widely used in the automotive industry. Custom stamping die is used for high-quality, high-precision, and large-scale production of products. The main products include external components such as car body coverings, doors, engine covers, and bumpers, as well as engine components such as cylinder blocks, crankshafts, and connecting rods. The advantage of custom stamping die is to ensure the dimensional accuracy of the produced products. The size, appearance quality, and product requirements must meet the standard requirements. The entire process of manufacturing custom stamping die must be carried out by strict requirements.
2.Home Appliance Industry
The shell, panel, bracket, and other metal components of household appliances are usually produced using a custom stamping die. For example, the shells of household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners need to have a good appearance and structural strength, and custom stamping die can achieve efficient and high-quality production of these components.
3.The Electronics Industry
In the electronics industry, various metal casings, brackets, radiators, and other components require the use of custom stamping die for processing and production. With the development of electronic products towards miniaturization and lightweight, higher requirements have been put forward for the accuracy and processing ability of custom stamping die.
4.Aerospace Industry
The aerospace industry has extremely high requirements for the quality and reliability of metal components. The key components of an aircraft, such as the fuselage, wings, and engine, require precision machining through custom stamping die to ensure their strength, durability, and consistency.
The stamping die plays an important role in various manufacturing fields and are key tool for achieving efficient and high-quality production of metal components. With the continuous progress of manufacturing technology, the design and manufacturing level of custom stamping die is also constantly improving to meet the growing production demand.
Custom Stamping Die Maintenance
Maintenance during custom stamping die installation
Technicians can only install custom stamping die if they ensure that the upper and lower surfaces of the stamping dies are clean. The purpose of doing so is to avoid damage or compression to the installation surface of the custom stamping die and the workbench of the machine, and to ensure that the parallelism of the upper and lower installation surfaces of the metal fixed stamping die during the manufacturing process also meets the requirements.
After the custom stamping die is installed, open the custom stamping die and clean all parts of the custom stamping die, especially the guide mechanism. For surface mold parts, clean the mold surface to ensure the quality of the parts. Lubricating and applying lubricating grease to the sliding parts of the custom stamping die. Inspection of various parts of the custom stamping die, especially safety parts such as safety pins, safety screws, side guard plates, punching waste channels, etc.
Maintenance during production
During production, the corresponding parts of the custom stamping die are regularly coated with oil, such as the pressing ring and rounded corners of the drawing die; The cutting edge of the trimming die; The flipped blade section, etc.
Regularly clean the small hole waste channel of the trimming and punching die.
Post-production maintenance
(1) After production is completed, a comprehensive inspection of the mold should be carried out.
(2) Thoroughly clean the mold to ensure its cleanliness.
(3) Clean up the waste inside the mold to ensure that there is no waste in the waste box.
(4) Provide truthful feedback on the usage status and post-use situation of the mold to the mold voucher.
The following maintenance work shall be completed by the mold repair personnel and recorded according to the maintenance situation. The following describes the requirements and methods for secondary protection for different parts:
1. Drawing Convex and Concave Die
The main problems with the convex and concave die of the drawing die are burrs and dents on the surface. During maintenance, the main focus is on polishing the rounded and rough areas of the mold. If there are depressions, the mold should be repaired by welding and then smoothed.
2. Guiding Components (guide pillars, guide sleeves, guide plates, etc.)
The mold may exhibit pulling marks and other phenomena during operation. The main reasons for this are dirty lubricating oil and biased guide clearance. The pulling marks on the guiding parts are eliminated by using an oilstone to push them smoothly and then polishing them.
3. Edge Trimming Blade
During the use of the custom stamping die, the blade edge is prone to breakage and collapse. At this point, the damaged blade of the custom stamping die needs to be repaired and welded.
4. Elastic Parts Such as Springs
During use, the spring is one of the most easily damaged parts of the custom stamping die, often experiencing fracture and deformation. The method adopted is to replace it, but during the replacement process, it is important to pay attention to the specifications and models of the spring. The specifications and models of the spring are determined by three factors: color, outer diameter, and length. Only when these three factors are the same can it be replaced.
5.Punches and Punch Sleeves are mostly Standard Parts
During the use of the custom stamping die, the punch is prone to breakage, bending, and gnawing. The punching sleeve is usually chewed off. The damage to the punch and punch sleeve is usually replaced with parts of the same specifications. The parameters of the punch mainly include the dimensions of the working part, installation part, length, etc.
6.Tightening Parts
Check if the fastening parts are loose or damaged. The approach taken is to find parts of the same specifications for replacement.
The material used for processing workpieces in custom stamping die is metal, which is a precision machining tool used for metal sheet metal processing. Its principle is to place the raw material in a designated position and then process it using equipment. The processing steps include stamping, bending, stretching, forming, and other processing steps. By completing all processing steps as required, the specified metal workpiece can be obtained, and the workpiece has high quality and precision. Custom stamping die is widely used in various manufacturing fields, with a wide range of applications.
