As a key equipment in industrial production, daily maintenance of stamping die is essential. Proper cleaning and rust prevention process can not only extend the service life of the die, but also ensure the stable quality of stamping parts. Its maintenance steps are closely linked, and each step should not be underestimated.
The first is disassembly and preliminary cleaning. After use, the die should be removed from the stamping equipment in time and placed on a special die rack or workbench. First, use a soft brush or compressed air gun to remove large pieces of waste and debris attached to the surface, such as metal flakes and dust remaining during the stamping process, to prevent them from scratching the die surface during subsequent cleaning.
Deep cleaning is the key link. Choose a suitable cleaning agent, such as a special mold cleaning agent, with a soft cloth or sponge, and carefully wipe each part of the mold. For key forming parts such as concave dies and convex dies, be extra careful and gently wipe along the mold texture to remove oil and dirt to ensure a smooth surface. Gaps and holes can be cleaned in depth with a fine brush dipped in a cleaning agent to avoid dirt residue that causes the mold to rust or affect the accuracy.
Drying treatment is essential. After cleaning, wipe the mold dry with a clean towel, or place it in a well-ventilated environment to dry naturally, or use low-temperature hot air to dry, but the temperature must be controlled within the range that will not affect the performance of the mold material to prevent moisture residue from causing rust.
Anti-rust measures will follow up immediately. After the Stamping Die is completely dry, apply the rust inhibitor evenly. For molds that are not used for a long time, long-lasting anti-rust oil can be used. The application should be comprehensive, especially the cutting edge, threaded holes, guide parts and other parts that are prone to rust, to form a protective film to isolate air and moisture.
Component inspection and maintenance should not be ignored. During the maintenance process, check the wear of various parts of the mold, such as the matching accuracy of the guide column and guide sleeve, the elasticity of the unloading spring, etc. Repair or replace the slightly worn parts in time to ensure that the mold is in good condition when it is used next time.
The last is storage management. Store the well-maintained Stamping Die in a dry, ventilated environment without corrosive gases. The mold rack should be stable to avoid collisions. Store them according to model and specification to facilitate subsequent search and use, and prepare for the next efficient production.
