Tooling & Engineering
Drawing review, precision mold components, trial planning and tool handover.
Mold Trials, Run-Off and Acceptance: What Should Be Recorded?
Define mold-trial stages, dry cycling, material trials, cavity samples, process records, corrective actions and the evidence required for final acceptance.
SPI, VDI, Texture and Ra: Specify the Surface You Actually Need
Specify mold polishing, SPI finishes, roughness, blasting and textures using the correct reference, units, protected surfaces and approved molded appearance.
Mold Class, Steel and Life: Three Different Decisions
Distinguish SPI mold class, steel grade, dimensional precision and service-life commitments, including cycles, cavitation, wear parts and maintenance.
Mold Component Names: A Practical Chinese–English Glossary
A practical Chinese-English mold-component glossary with regional naming distinctions and the drawing, catalog and BOM details needed to order the correct item.
Export Mold Specifications: Agree the Interfaces, Not Just the Country
An export-mold checklist for actual receiving-factory requirements: component systems, inch/metric interfaces, cooling, electrical connections, press data and acceptance.
Ordering a Replacement Mold Insert Without Losing the Fit
Replace a mold insert without losing the intended geometry: define the parent-tool fit, revision, steel condition, finishing, inspection and trial responsibilities.
What to Include in a Precision Mold RFQ
Prepare a precision-mold RFQ that defines purchasing scope, controlled drawings, materials, critical acceptance points, quantities and the real delivery milestone.
Mold Tolerance Is Not Molded-Part Tolerance
Separate machine or instrument specifications, mold-component tolerances and finished molded-part acceptance before comparing a supplier’s accuracy claims.
Preparing an MT Ferrule Development Brief
Prepare an MT ferrule development brief covering hole arrays, guide interfaces, material and sample conditions, tooling, dimensional inspection and optical-test responsibilities.
