(1) The mold should be strictly inspected before installation and use to remove dirt, and check whether the guide sleeve of the mold and the mold are well lubricated.
(2) Regularly check the turntable of the punch press and the mold mounting base to ensure the coaxial accuracy of the upper and lower turntables.
(3) Install the convex and concave molds on the turntable according to the mold installation procedure to ensure that the direction of the convex and concave molds is the same, especially for molds that have direction requirements (non-circular and square).
(4) After the mold is installed, check whether the fastening screws of the mold installation base are properly locked.
(5) When the punch and die edge of the punch die is worn, stop using it and sharpen it in time, otherwise it will rapidly expand the wear of the die edge, accelerate the wear of the die, and reduce the quality and life of the die.
(6) There should be a backup for the general molds used in mass production, so that the production can be rotated to ensure the production needs.
(7) The stamping personnel should use softer metals (such as copper, aluminum, etc.) to make operating tools when installing the mold to prevent damage to the mold during the installation process.
(8) The mold must be handled with care during transportation, and it is never allowed to throw it indiscriminately, so as not to damage the cutting edge and guide of the mold.
(9) After the mold is used, it should be put back into the designated position in time and treated with oil and rust prevention.
(10) To ensure the service life of the mold, the spring of the mold should be replaced regularly to prevent the fatigue damage of the spring from affecting the use of the mold.
