Research And Application of Automatic Clamping Technology for Stamping Mold

■ Improvement background and purpose

Background：Stamping molds are an important part of the industrial production process, and Stamping  mold clamping is an important part of product.At present, all sheet metal parts of air conditioner outdoor units, such as outer covers, left panels, right panels, partitions, etc., must be fixed on a punch press for processing through stamping dies and fixture systems during the production process. However, in the formal production process,Stamping mold production sometimes has problems such as loose molds, damaged accessories, and production safety hazards.

In order to effectively reduce and lower manufacturing costs and prevent safety accidents, GreeDaikinMold, a stamping mold manufacturer, specializes in the research of automatic clamping technology for sheet metal molds, which significantly improves the company's competitiveness in the mold market.

■ Feasibility Analysis and Evaluation of GreeDaikinMold Automatic Clamping

■ Stamping Die structure innovation

The cylinder pushes the hydraulic device to be introduced into the mold slot. When the sensor senses the edge of the mold at a certain distance, it stops moving and the mold is clamped by hydraulic clamping.

This structure is easy to operate and has sensors to protect the mold from damage during clamping.

■ Conclusion

Reasonable selection of automatic mold clamping device can effectively prevent the occurrence of safety accidents caused by loose molds. It greatly improves the speed of mold replacement during production line change, and achieves the purpose of reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Therefore, it verifies the necessity of studying the automatic clamping technology of stamping molds.
