Injection Mold Cooling Water Leakage Failure and Troubleshooting

 Injection mold cooling water leakage is a frequent occurrence, for many reasons, mainly in the following aspects:

1. The most occurs at the joint of the mold cooling water pipe. If water leakage is found, the sealing tape should be wound around the thread of the pipe joint and then tightened.

2. Due to long-term molding conditions, the waterproof ring inside the mold will be damaged, and the O-shaped waterproof rubber ring will easily harden and crack, resulting in water leakage. Some poorly installed waterproof rings can also cause seal failure. It is generally necessary to periodically check the installation position and sealing performance of the seal.

3. The hole wall of the cooling water hole is broken. This often happens when a new mold is tried. The wall thickness of the design is sufficient, but the hole wall is broken due to machining errors or post-processing. In most cases, leaking water holes can no longer be used.

4. Inspection of the cooling water hole. It is easy to form scale in the cooling water hole, which hinders heat transfer. In severe cases, the water path is blocked and needs regular maintenance. For straight water holes, an iron bar smaller than the diameter of the cooling water hole can be inserted and tapped with a hammer to remove scale and rust. For the cooling water pipe buried in the mold, the mold should be decomposed to remove rust.

After the inspection, the water leakage test shall be carried out. The water pressure is filled into the water hole by the hand pressure pump, and kept at a pressure of 2 MPa for 5 minutes. It is judged whether the water hole leaks by observing whether the water pressure is lowered. The water leakage can be blocked by mechanical fastening methods using elastic materials such as rubber and cork, and the room temperature curing type silica gel can be tried as a sealing material.

5. Regularly overhaul the heating and decompression pumps and use them. The heating tube is an effective heat transfer element and is very effective for core cooling of deep and deep structures. In the area where the cooling water is easy to pass, a one-way heating pipe is provided to reduce water leakage. In addition, the use of a vacuum pump to pump cooling water is also a method of preventing leakage of cooling water.

What is Guide Pin ?

  1.Definition of guide pin The  guide pin  is a guide element used in the mold in combination with the components to ensure that the mold moves and guides the mold stroke with precise positioning. They are generally cylindrical with shoulders and usually have oil grooves. 2.The material of the guide pin The material of the  guide pin  is generally selected from bearing steel, hot work die steel, easy car iron, etc., and the use of bearing steel SUJ2 is larger, which greatly enhances the durability and interchangeability of the guide post in terms of guiding performance. The guide post and components constitute the outer guide post component and the inner guide post component, which have a beautiful metallic luster. Heat treatment of guide post: HRC58-62; surface roughness of guide post: Ra0.8, Ra1.6. 3.Center hole of guide pin The roundness of the  guide pin  is very demanding. The central hole is mainly used to grind the outer diameter with a cylindr...

What's the properties of POM?

  Polyformaldehyde (POM) thermoplastic crystalline polymer. Known as "Super Steel" or "Sai Steel", The English abbreviation is POM. Generally, polymers obtained by formaldehyde polymerization have a low degree of polymerization and are easily thermally depolymerized. It can be used as a raw material for organic chemicals and synthetic resins, and as a fumigant for drugs. 1.General property POM  is a hard, dense material with a smooth surface and gloss, light yellow or white, thin-walled partly translucent. Combustion characteristics are easy to burn, and continue to burn after leaving the ignition source. The flame is yellow at the upper end and blue at the lower end. Melting dripping occurs and has a strong pungent formaldehyde smell and fishy smell. POM is white powder, usually opaque, good coloring, specific gravity 1.41-1.43 g/cm3, molding shrinkage 1.2-3.0%, molding temperature 170-200℃, drying conditions 80-90℃ for 2 hours. POM's long-term heat resistance ...

Precision CNC Milling Service: What Factors Affect CNC Machining Cost?

  How to save CNC milling costs? Why some custom  CNC milling services  are expensive? Firstly, we may need to know the cost factors for CNC milling services. 1)Stock Material As with any type of manufacturing, Stock material is the most basic cost. Some materials are more difficult to process than others, and some materials are more expensive as raw materials. The processing speed of some materials is much slower than others, even with the advancement of modern tools and mechanical technology. Some materials can wear out the expensive consumable cutting tools used more quickly, and can vary from one tool that makes hundreds or even thousands of parts to one part consuming multiple tools.Therefore, the material selection of your components can be a huge cost factor. 2)The Specification of  CNC Machining Parts The size and overall geometry of the parts are of course important factors in the quotation of machining operations. Obviously, the larger the physical part, th...
