[Improvement Case] Using the appropriate oil agent for processing conditions increased mold life by five times.
Mold life extended! A case where the burden on operators was reduced and machine downtime was also minimized.
We would like to introduce a case where a company engaged in mass processing of automotive parts in Fukushima Prefecture successfully increased mold life by five times using an oil agent that met the processing conditions. With the currently used plastic processing oil, the molds only lasted for less than one-fifth of the target quantity, leading to frequent mold replacements, which resulted in time losses and poor production efficiency. We proposed an oil agent that could extend mold life, and by reviewing the oil, we were able to extend the mold life, reduce the frequency of mold replacements, and thereby lessen the burden on operators and reduce machine downtime. 【Case Overview】 ■ Issues - The molds only lasted for less than one-fifth of the target quantity, leading to frequent mold replacements and poor production efficiency. ■ Implementation Effects - Mold life extended to more than five times compared to current products, and there were no issues in the subsequent cleaning process, achieving the target quantity. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
