Influence of Different Types of Press Machines on SMC Mold Manufacturing

Do you know the differences among 500T, 1500T or other press machine? This article will tell you.

As a professional compression mold manufacturer, MDC Mould has professional compression machines, including 500T, 1500T&4000T Press machine.

Sizes and Complexities

First of all, these different types of presses can provide different pressures and extrusion capabilities, providing different options for the manufacture of SMC molds of different sizes and complexities. For example, for smaller molds, 500T presses can be used to complete, while larger molds need to use 1500T , 2000T or 4000T presses.

Manufacturing Cycle and Cost

Secondly, these different types of presses can also affect the manufacturing cycle and cost of SMC molds. Smaller models of presses usually require longer molding cycles, while larger models of presses can complete the manufacture of SMC molds in a shorter time. However, larger models of presses are also relatively expensive and require more investment.

Accuracy and Quality

Finally, these different types of presses can also affect the manufacturing accuracy and quality of SMC molds. Larger models of presses generally provide higher pressure and more precise control, which can produce higher quality, higher precision SMC molds. Smaller models of presses may have some limitations in manufacturing accuracy, which may not be able to meet the requirements for some SMC mold manufacturing that requires high precision.

Therefore, when selecting an SMC mold manufacturing press, it is necessary to select the appropriate press model according to the specific production needs and budget in order to achieve the best production efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Maintenance of SMC Mold

The maintenance of SMC molds is an important measure to ensure the normal operation of the mold and prolong its service life.

SMC mold(sheet molding compound) is an important manufacturing tool used to produce various composite material products. However, these molds are subject to the risk of wear and damage during the production process, and attention needs to be paid to their maintenance and maintenance to ensure their long-term use, product quality and production efficiency.

Here are some detailed tips on SMC mold maintenance and maintenance:

1. Clean the surface and interior of the mold regularly: Before and after using the SMC mold, the mold needs to be cleaned. First, use air pressure to remove dust and dirt from the surface of the mold. Then, clean the surface and interior of the mold with a specific cleaning agent. Regular cleaning of molds will ensure they remain in top condition and reduce damage and wear from accumulated dirt and impurities.

2. Keep the mold surface lubricated: Proper lubricant can reduce wear and tear on the mold surface and reduce friction. Lubricant should be applied thinly on the surface of the mold to prevent too much lubricant from entering the mold and affecting product quality.

3. Regularly inspect the surface and interior of the mold: Regularly inspect the surface and interior of the mold for cracks, scratches, wear, or other damage. Finding and repairing these problems in time can avoid more serious damage and prolong the service life of the mold.

4. Keep the mold in a dry environment: SMC molds should be stored in a dry and ventilated environment. An environment with high humidity may cause rust and corrosion on the surface of the mold, affecting the service life of the mold.

5. Avoid overloading the mold: When using SMC molds, it is necessary to avoid overloading. Overloading may cause mold deformation, wear and breakage, causing irreversible damage to the mold.

6. Regular replacement of molds: SMC molds also need to be replaced regularly to ensure product quality and production efficiency. The service life of a mold depends on its material, manufacturing process and usage. Mold replacement should be considered when there is visible damage or wear to the mold surface, or when the product begins to change in size and shape.

In short, the maintenance and maintenance of SMC molds is an important measure to ensure the normal operation of the mold and prolong its service life. Regular cleaning, lubrication and inspection of molds, as well as avoiding overloading, can ensure the normal operation and efficient production of molds. Maintaining and maintaining molds can help companies reduce production costs, improve product quality, and ensure the safety of the manufacturing process.

the Mold Industry Now in China

In recent years, due to various reasons, the development of the mold industry has faced many difficulties. It is not as easy as before, and the future development prospects are not very clear. At last, many people have to leave the industry.

The first objective reason is the market environment. However, the development of everything is cyclical. The current trough is only temporary. The overall trend of China’s economy will not change. Therefore, the difficulties caused will be gradually eliminated in a short period of time in the future. Therefore, there is nothing to worry about this factor. Moreover, the economic downturn affects not only the mold industry but also the manufacturing industry. Most industries are all affected.

Moreover, the mold industry is the basic industry. Mold is indispensable to industry, just as catering is to people’s livelihood.

In fact, a subjective factor within the industry should account for these difficulties. Attracted by the explosive profits in the mold industry in the early period, different sizes of processing shops, mold factories and consumable stores have sprung up, and the number of mold companies has almost doubled. The industry itself is expanding too fast, and even if the economy is booming, there will be fierce competition. However, unfortunately, it encountered economic downturn, and difficulties arose.

At this time, some companies insist on quality and do not engage in price war, while some companies compress equipment and labor in order to save costs, resulting in a vicious circle, which eventually leads to closure. The closing of a company may have a chain reaction, leading to the crisis of several companies.

MDC Mould was established in 1997, mainly engaged in the development and production of hot-pressing molds such as SMC moldBMC mold, GMT mold, FRP mold, etc. In the future, the company will focus on the development of higher quality and high-tech molded FRP molds. We adhere to the concept of professionalism and integrity, establish long-term and mutually beneficial partnership with customers, and become the pioneer of customer development projects through professional technology and thoughtful services.
