Why do injection mold processing try to choose standard parts?

In order to ensure the quality of injection moulds and processing efficiency, as far as possible to use standard parts is very important. This article will be from the following aspects to explain why the injection mould processing as much as possible to choose the standard parts of the reason.

1. The use of standard parts can reduce procurement costs. Standard parts are after a large number of production and use of verified parts, its production process is mature, large-scale production, the price is relatively low. Customised non-standard parts, on the other hand, need to be individually moulded and produced at a higher cost. Through the use of standard parts, enterprises can reduce procurement costs and improve economic efficiency.

2. The use of standard parts can improve production efficiency. As the production volume of standard parts is large, suppliers usually have sufficient inventory, so the procurement of standard parts can greatly reduce the delivery time. At the same time, the use of standard parts can reduce the duplication of labour in the process of mould design and manufacturing, and improve production efficiency. In addition, the interchangeability of standard parts is also conducive to the maintenance and replacement in the production process, reducing downtime.

3. The use of standard parts to help ensure product quality. Standard parts are subject to strict quality control and testing, its dimensional accuracy, surface roughness and other technical indicators have reached certain requirements. The customised non-standard parts are relatively difficult to control due to the small production volume. Through the use of standard parts, enterprises can ensure the quality stability and reliability of the final product.

4. The use of standard parts is also conducive to the maintenance and updating of moulds. With the continuous development of mould technology, new standard parts continue to emerge, so that the original mould can be upgraded and transformed by replacing the standard parts. This can not only improve the service life of the mould, but also reduce the cost of updating the mould.
