Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molds, and more specifically to a method for processing mold sliders. Background Technology

[0002] Sliders are generally cast parts, and castings have blank allowances. Currently, CNC machining of sliders involves machining each part of the slider to the final dimensions of the drawing in one go. However, due to the inherent errors in CNC machining, after the slider guide plate is installed, it is necessary to measure the gap between the slider guide plate and the guide surface inside the mold base plate using a feeler gauge. Then, shims are installed between the slider guide plate and the guide plate mounting surface to compensate for the gap, so that the slider guide plate and the guide surface inside the mold base plate meet the standard guiding requirements.

[0003] The drawback of this method, which processes all parts of the slider to the dimensions shown in the drawing in one go, is that due to CNC machining errors, shims are needed to compensate for gaps between the slider guide plate and its mounting surface. However, adding shims causes the inserts mounted on the slider to move, resulting in errors where the insert's profile or contour aligns with the profile or contour on the mold base plate. These errors cannot be machined by CNC machines and require the mold base plate to be transferred to a press for manual adjustment and refitting based on the adjusted data. This processing method severely impacts the mold production cycle, increases mold manufacturing costs, and intensifies manual labor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems mentioned above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for processing mold sliders, so as to solve the problems of long processing cycle, high manufacturing cost and high labor intensity of existing molds.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for processing a mold slider, comprising a slider, characterized in that: the slider is provided with process legs around its perimeter, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0006] The process legs of the S1 slider are machined to the same height from the front side;

[0007] S2 uses the process leg as the machining datum to machine the first guide surface of the bottom surface of the slider and the side guide plate mounting surface to the final size;

[0008] S3 uses the first guide surface and the side guide plate mounting surface as the machining reference to process the front insert mounting socket of the slider and the second guide surface in one operation.

[0009] S4 mounts the slider side guide plate onto the side guide plate mounting surface;

[0010] S5 installs the slider into the slider mounting socket in the mold base plate, and measures the gap between the slider side guide plate and the third guide surface in the slider mounting socket using a feeler gauge;

[0011] S6 sets a shim between the slider side guide plate and the side guide plate mounting surface according to the measured gap value, so that the gap between the slider side guide plate and the third guide surface reaches the corresponding guiding standard;

[0012] S7 installs the slider into the slider mounting socket and machines the reference pin on the slider to the final size;

[0013] S8 removes the slider from the slider mounting socket. Using the reference pin as the machining reference, the insert mounting socket and the second guide surface on the front of the slider are machined to the final size. The insert mounting screw holes and pin holes are machined to the final size. At this point, the slider machining is complete.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The above steps can ensure that the insert mounting base and the second guide surface on the front of the secondary processing slider are on the same processing datum as the mold base plate, avoiding the error that occurs where the insert surface or contour matches the surface or contour on the mold base plate in the background technology.

[0015] The further improvement is that: the mounting base 5 on the front side of the slider and the second guide surface of the first-processed slider in S3 have a margin of 0.5-2mm.

[0016] Beneficial effect: Prevents insufficient material when installing the insert on the front of the slider and the second guide surface during secondary processing.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: A method for processing a mold slider, which involves installing the slider into a slider mounting recess in the mold base plate, measuring the gap between the slider side guide plate and the third guide surface in the slider mounting recess with a feeler gauge, installing shims to compensate for the gap, and then machining a reference pin hole for the slider in the mold base plate to make the slider machining reference and the mold base plate machining reference concentric, and then machining the insert mounting recess and the second guide surface on the front of the slider a second time using the reference pin hole as the machining reference, effectively solves the problem in the prior art where the surface or contour of the insert installed on the slider does not match the surface or contour of the mold base plate. This error requires transferring the mold base plate to a press and manually adjusting it, and then manually grinding it according to the data obtained from the adjustment. This slider processing method of the present invention can greatly improve the mold production cycle, reduce the mold manufacturing cost, and reduce the intensity of manual labor.
