Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mold processing technology, specifically to a mold part and its high-precision positioning processing method. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding is a method of shaping industrial products. Products are usually made using rubber injection molding and plastic injection molding. The process involves using plastic molds to make plastic products of various shapes. The existing injection molding process usually involves the injection molding machine and the mold working together. Therefore, the existing injection molding process requires high precision for the mold parts.

[0003] Most existing mold parts are made by combining upper and lower molds with cavities. If the gas inside the mold parts cannot be discharged during use, it will cause trapped air, which will affect the injection molding results. At the same time, most existing mold parts are formed by stamping in one go by a punch press. It is difficult to effectively guarantee the overall precision of the mold and the position of each opening. Moreover, the finishing process requires high skill from the user and is difficult to operate. Summary of the Invention

[0060] S8. Size Inspection

[0061] After processing, the mold parts are removed and their dimensions are inspected. Once the inspection is passed, external etching is performed to ensure the quality of the finished product.

[0062] In S2, when the outer shape is finished, a 0.05mm allowance needs to be temporarily left on the top surface.
