The reason why the parts of injection mold do not operate smoothly

The injection mold is used for too long or does not pay attention to lubrication and maintenance, it is likely to jam or not operate smoothly. In order to prevent the occurrence of bad action, it is necessary to regularly carry out accurate lubrication operation on the injection mold. The following will be based on our many years of injection mold industry experience, on this issue for detailed analysis and explanation.

1. Corrosive wear

Reason: chemical composition, moisture, ions and other corrosive environment caused by resin injection mold parts between the potential difference and wear form.

Impact: There is a risk of damage to the cavity and core, which will directly lead to the damage of the injection mold.

Treatment: Proper lubrication management for injection moulds should be carried out regularly, or maintenance free component structure should be adopted.

2. Fretting wear

Cause: Shallow pitting wear occurs when the clearance is relatively small, mostly in the fixed keys and keyways.

3. Wear and tear

Cause: Due to the repeated movement and stop of injection mold parts, fatigue occurs, and then wear occurs.

Impact: Repeated action of load on die parts will more or less lead to metal fatigue and scaly stripping.

4. Abrasive wear

Cause: When there is a hardness difference between the moving parts, the hard material bites into the soft material, causing scratches and burns.

5. Stick and wear

Reason: The protruding parts of the mold parts collide with each other, and the part with the strongest contact produces adhesion, and the adhesion part falls off and becomes wear powder, so that the wear continues.

Impact: The surface of the mold parts looks smooth at first glance, but in fact there are slight bumps and bumps. The raised part will contact first, which leads to the concentration of friction heat in the tiny part and causes sticking.

When the injection mold is continuously opened and closed, the ejector pin, the direct push tube and the center pin, and the side core-pulling slider may not be smooth. This is actually very normal, we can summarize according to their own relevant experience in order to quickly solve the problem of poor movement. The mission of Fanstar is to master the core technology of injection molding production, communicate and analyze the technology before mold production with customers from the production needs of finished products, so that the mold delivery time is short, the service life is long, the rapid mass production and the finished product quality is excellent!
