Smart mold becomes the new favorite

The trend of intelligent development in social life has prompted the development of mold manufacturing from traditional fields to intelligent production. What will happen to the future development of China's mold intelligence?

The new mold design is the most important step to improve the quality. There are many factors to consider, including the selection of mold materials, the practicality/safety of the mold structure, the moldability of the mold parts, and the convenience of mold maintenance. In fact, with the continuous development of the scientific level, low-cost human resources have gradually been eliminated, and automation and intelligent manufacturing have become an important development direction of modern manufacturing.

It will be even more difficult for the Chinese mold industry, which originally took the low-end route, to face challenges. At this time, the transformation and upgrading of the mold industry is particularly important. In order to achieve rapid development, the mold industry in our country must develop smart molds. Nowadays, with the efforts of the Chinese government in promoting the integration of the two industries, the intelligentization of industrial information is accelerating and it has a positive effect on the development of the domestic intelligent mold industry.

Smart die advantage significantly boosts industrial upgrading

Smart molds generally refer to stamping molds, die-casting molds with sensing and temperature control functions, and injection molds that are manufactured with intelligent control means such as temperature control function, injection parameters, and in-mold flow state.

Compared with traditional molds, intelligent molds have obvious advantages such as high technical content, high added value, long service life, wide application range, and large market space. High, precise, and sharp are the most obvious features of intelligent molds, and are manufactured using intelligent molds. Products can further improve product quality and production efficiency, save more materials, achieve automated production and green manufacturing. If it can be used effectively in traditional industries, smart molds will greatly increase the production efficiency of existing manufacturing industries, and industrial transformation and industrial upgrading will be able to better carry out.

During the Twelfth Five-Year Period, China's Intelligent Die Development

During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the overall goal of the development of intelligent mold manufacturing equipment for strategic emerging industries in China is to develop intelligent molds to drive the improvement of the overall level of high-efficiency, precision, and high-performance molds to meet the "smart manufacturing" requirements. The improvement of molds for the overall level of strategic emerging industry services has greatly improved the level of smart molds, laying a solid foundation for China's mold industry to enter the world mold power country by 2020.

Specific implementation, there are the following five aspects:

First, the level of high-efficiency, precision, and high-performance molds that are mainly represented by intelligent molds, the medium and long-term goal is to reach the international advanced level, and at the end of the “Twelfth Five-year Plan”, the first level of intelligent molds should basically meet the requirements of intelligent manufacturing. Required.

Secondly, the percentage of high-efficiency, precision, and high-performance molds represented by intelligent molds accounted for about 35% of the total molds, reaching over 40% at the end of the “Twelfth Five-year Plan” period, and then reaching more than 50%. Long-term goals.

Third, continuously shorten the production cycle of the mold and improve the service life and stability of the mold. Firstly, the production cycle at the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period is shortened by 20% to 30%, and the service life is 20% to 30% higher than that at present. Refinement to improve reliability and stability.

Fourth, we must continuously improve the level of digitization and informationization. At the end of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, enterprises that manufacture highly efficient, precise, high-performance molds are basically integrated into CAD/CAM/CAE/PDM, and more than 40% of companies basically implement information management.
