What kind of wear or failure may occur in double side draw mold rack after long-term use?
Publish Time: 2025-05-14
As an important equipment for storing and managing molds in industrial production, double side draw mold rack will inevitably encounter various wear or failure problems during long-term use. Understanding the nature and causes of these problems is essential to extend the service life of the equipment, ensure safe operation, and maintain efficient production.
First of all, the wear of the slide rail system is one of the common problems of double side draw mold rack. Due to frequent push and pull actions, the slide rail is easily affected by friction and gradually wears out. This wear not only causes the drawer to open and close unsmoothly, but also may cause increased noise. In severe cases, it may even cause the drawer to get stuck, affecting work efficiency. In order to avoid this situation, it is particularly important to regularly check the condition of the slide rail and lubricate it in time. In addition, choosing materials with excellent wear resistance to make the slide rail can also slow down the wear rate to a certain extent.
Secondly, fasteners such as screws and bolts may become loose at the connection parts. Over time and under the action of vibration, these connection points may become less firm, which in turn affects the stability of the overall structure. If this problem is ignored, it may cause abnormal noise between components at the least, or even cause safety accidents at the worst. Therefore, it is an effective means to ensure the safe operation of the equipment to establish a regular inspection mechanism, conduct detailed inspections of all key connection points, and retighten or replace damaged parts as needed.
In addition, the load-bearing frame may also be deformed or damaged. When the load exceeds the design range, the pressure on the frame structure will increase significantly, and plastic deformation may occur over a long period of time. Once such a situation occurs, it will not only reduce the load-bearing capacity of the mold frame, but also affect the accurate storage position of the mold, thereby indirectly damaging the mold itself. For this reason, the load requirements should be strictly followed during use, and the load should be reasonably distributed to avoid local overload.
In addition, guide wheels and ball bearings are also one of the vulnerable parts. They are responsible for supporting and guiding the movement of the drawer, but they will inevitably wear or fail under long-term operation. This not only affects the smoothness of the drawer movement, but may also cause additional energy consumption. To prevent such problems from occurring, in addition to selecting high-quality parts, it is also necessary to pay attention to daily maintenance, such as regularly cleaning dust and debris to ensure that its operating environment is clean and unobstructed.
Regarding the surface coating, although most modern double side draw mold racks are made of anti-corrosion materials, they may still be corroded after being exposed to harsh environments for a long time. In particular, mold racks working in humid or dusty environments are more prone to rust or corrosion. This not only destroys the aesthetic appearance, but more importantly, it weakens the structural strength and increases safety hazards. Therefore, taking appropriate protective measures, such as applying anti-rust paint or installing protective covers, can effectively resist external erosion and protect the equipment from damage.
Finally, if an electrical control system exists, special attention should be paid to its reliability and safety. With the increase in service life, problems such as aging of circuit components and poor contact gradually emerge, which may lead to control failure or misoperation. In order to ensure the normal operation of the system, it is necessary to strengthen the maintenance of the electrical part, including but not limited to regular testing of insulation performance and checking of line connection status. At the same time, emergency plans should be formulated for possible emergencies so as to respond quickly and solve problems.
In short, the double side draw mold rack faces a wide variety of wear or failures during long-term use, involving multiple levels from mechanical components to electrical systems. By gaining a deeper understanding of these potential problems and the reasons behind them, companies can carry out preventive maintenance work in a more targeted manner, minimize the possibility of failures, and ensure that equipment is always in the best working condition. At the same time, this also saves companies a lot of maintenance costs and improves overall operational efficiency. In actual operations, cultivating employees' sense of responsibility and professional skills is also indispensable. Only with the participation of all employees can the goal of safe production be truly achieved.
