1. Ensure that the mold is tight:
it ensures that the upper and lower molds of the mold are closely fitted when the mold is closed, avoiding gaps or dislocation.
2. Prevent melt leakage:
It prevents melt from leaking from the mold parting surface under high pressure to ensure that the plastic can be correctly filled into the mold cavity.
3. Maintain the stability of the mold:
it can also provide support, so that the mold is not easy to deform or move during the injection molding process, to ensure the accuracy and quality of the product.
4. Improve production efficiency:
By ensuring the tightness and stability of the mold, the parting lock helps to reduce production interruptions or waste products caused by mold problems, thereby improving the overall production efficiency.
5. Extend the service life of the mold:
reduce the wear of the mold in the process of opening and closing, and extend the service life of the mold.
Usage Guidelines:
Selection and Installation of Locks:
- Select the appropriate parting lock based on the Injection Molding Machine model and mold size. Ensure it meets industry standards for strength and stability.
- Before installation, inspect the mold parting surface for flatness, damage, or debris. Keep it clean and free from oil, water, or other contaminants.
- Follow the lock installation instructions to securely attach it to the mold. Ensure proper alignment and tightening to prevent loosening.
Locking Operation and Inspection: - Ensure all parting locks are correctly installed and locked before mold closing. Follow the Injection molding machine's operating procedures to initiate the closing action.
- After closing, check if the locks are fully engaged. Observe the lock's indicator or gently shake the mold to verify the locking status. Adjust or replace the lock as needed if any abnormalities are detected.
- Regularly inspect the locking status during the injection molding process to ensure the mold parting surface remains secure and free from leakage under high pressure.
Unlocking During Mold Change: - Prior to mold change, unlock all parting locks following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Ensure the mold can be safely removed or replaced without damaging the locks or mold parting surfaces.
Maintenance and Cleaning: - Regularly clean the parting locks to remove dirt, dust, and residue build-up. Use appropriate cleaning agents and tools to avoid damaging the lock surfaces.
- Inspect the locks for wear and damage during routine maintenance checks. Replace worn-out or damaged locks promptly.
Troubleshooting and Adjustment: - Identify and address any issues with the parting locks promptly. Refer to the manufacturer's manual or contact technical support for assistance in troubleshooting and making necessary adjustments.
Safety Precautions: - Always wear protective equipment when working with injection molding machines and mold parting locks.
- Ensure the machine is powered off and properly locked out before performing any maintenance or repair work on the locks.
Usage Records and Maintenance: - Keep detailed records of lock usage, maintenance, and any issues encountered. This information is crucial for tracking lock performance and identifying potential problems.
Lock Replacement Cycle: - Establish a replacement cycle for the parting locks based on usage, wear, and manufacturer recommendations. Replace worn-out or damaged locks regularly to maintain mold stability and production efficiency.
