Mold template design

The main templates of continuous molds include punch fixing plate, pressing plate, concave plate, etc. The structural design depends on the accuracy of stamping products, production quantity, processing equipment and processing methods of the mold, and maintenance methods of the mold, etc. There are the following three types form:

(1) Monolithic
Monolithic formwork is also known as one-piece construction type, and its processing shape must be closed. The monolithic template is mainly used for the mold with simple structure or low precision. Its processing method is mainly cutting (without heat treatment). The template with heat treatment must be subjected to wire cutting or electrical discharge machining and grinding. When the size of the template is long (continuous mold), two or more pieces of one-piece type will be used together.

(2) Yoke type
The central part of the yoke formwork is grooved to assemble block products. Its structure is based on application requirements, and the groove portion can be formed by other templates. The advantages of this yoke formwork structure are: the groove part is easy to process, the groove part width can be adjusted, and the processing accuracy is good. But low rigidity is its disadvantage.

(3) Built-in type
