Digital Transformation in the Mold Industry
The Industrial Bureau and Metal Center join forces to launch the "Smart Manufacturing Initiative" to assist the mold industry in embracing the digital transformation trend. The core objective is to integrate the three major goals of "Smart Manufacturing, Digitalized Management, and High-Value Product" into the mold production process, aiming to accelerate the industry's upgrade and transformation.
Significance of the Mold Industry
Molds play a crucial role in the manufacturing industry, especially in areas like consumer goods and automotive components, highlighting their technological influence. However, with the increasingly shorter cycles in industries such as electronics and automotive, the demands on delivery times for component outsourcers are becoming more stringent. The global wave of smart manufacturing poses threats and challenges to the mold industry in our country.
Considering the high cost of companies investing independently in smart manufacturing systems, the "Taiwan Smart Mold Cloud" establishes the "Mold Development Database" and "Material Database," providing members with a rapid online management service for mold data searching and enterprise mold research records. Through technological and digital mold development, efficiency has been significantly increased.
Importance of Guide Components in Mold Production
The most common guide components in molds include various shapes of guide posts, guide bushings, and ball cage sets. These components, when combined, precisely secure the punch and die for cutting, bending, and other mold processing operations. High-precision molds have extremely high requirements for guide components to ensure a reduction in wear and tear on the punch and die during mold production, thereby reducing maintenance frequency, extending mold lifespan, and ultimately lowering overall production costs. The combination of guide posts and guide bushings with ball cage sets reduces friction resistance, achieving the goal of high-speed production.
Features of Roller Needle Guide Post Set
Han De Wei's roller needle guide post set for mold bases is the first independently developed and manufactured in Taiwan. Its feature lies in being a high-precision linear device that meets the demands ranging from submicron (100nm to 1μm). Optical equipment and semiconductor production both require high-precision and high-rigidity guide posts, which are indispensable elements. Changing from ball bearings to needle rollers increases the contact surface area, showcasing higher rigidity. The super-precision linear guide with needle rollers minimizes impact, friction, and vibration during entry, resulting in both high precision and linearity.
The roller needle guide post set plays a crucial role in the electric vehicle industry, especially in battery mold manufacturing. These components are commonly used in guiding and supporting mechanisms in molds, providing smooth and precise linear movement. They are key elements within the mold, ensuring accuracy and precision in mold switching operations. The roller needle guide post set bears loads while reducing friction, thereby enhancing the durability and efficiency of the mold. Its high precision and stability make it an indispensable part of mold design and operation in the manufacturing industry, ensuring precision and quality in production.
