How long is the service life of automotive stamping molds?

After the processing and production of each component is completed, it can enter the final assembly stage. Due to the high precision and small error of the parts in the mold, in addition to accurate positioning, it is also necessary to arrange the correct installation sequence to ensure the normal operation of the stamping mold.

Firstly, install the upper and lower mold seats of the automotive stamping mold. The upper mold seat is installed on the slider of the punch or press, and the lower mold seat is installed on the workbench of the punch or press. After the upper and lower mold seats are fixed, the mold parts can be installed on the mold seat to ensure the correct installation position and avoid errors that may cause the mold to malfunction. When installing the concave and convex molds, it is necessary to leave a uniform punching gap between them to ensure stamping quality and extend the service life of the stamping mold. The assembly sequence of the upper and lower molds should be determined based on the mold structure, and different installation methods should be determined for molds with and without guide pillars. For complex installations, it is necessary to determine a reasonable assembly sequence based on the limitations imposed on the installation of upper and lower mold parts. Sometimes improper installation sequence not only affects subsequent installation work, but also may lead to situations where installation cannot be carried out, so the correct installation sequence is crucial.
