Installing and adjusting the mold on a high speed punch machine is a critical process. The following are the general steps:
Preparation: Make sure the punch press is stopped and disconnected from the power supply. Inspect molds and equipment to make sure they are in good condition and clean.
Install the upper mold: Place the upper mold on the upper mold base and fix it with screws. Make sure the upper mold is installed firmly and will not shake or shift.
Install the lower mold: Place the lower mold on the lower mold base and fix it with screws. Likewise, make sure the lower mold is securely installed.
Adjust the mold gap: Adjust the gap between the upper mold and the lower mold as needed. This usually requires the use of adjustment screws or other adjustment devices to ensure proper clearance of the mold.
Install guide pins and guide sleeves: Install guide pins and guide sleeves to ensure that the mold can be guided correctly and move smoothly.
Connect the control system: Connect the control system of the mold (if any) to the control panel of the punch press to ensure that all functions are normal.
Test operation: Before starting the punch press, perform manual operation to check whether the movement of the mold is normal and whether there are any abnormalities.
Carry out test punching: Carry out test punching operation, observe the product quality, and check whether there is any bad deformation or other problems.
Adjustment: Based on the test punching results, make necessary fine-tuning and adjustments to the mold until the desired stamping effect is achieved.
Production operation: After confirming that the mold installation and adjustment are completed, the formal production operation begins.
