Our Mold Repair Process
Our Mold Repair Process
When a mold requires repair, Tops Precision follows a structured and transparent workflow to ensure accuracy, ефективност, and quality restoration.
стъпка 1: Initial Problem Identification
The repair process begins when an issue is identified—either by our production team during regular maintenance or by customers who notice part defects or operational inconsistencies.
We immediately notify the customer, document the problem with detailed images, and provide a preliminary assessment.
For customers outside our facility, we also accept molds from other manufacturers, accompanied by a report or instructions describing the problem.
стъпка 2: Inspection and Root Cause Analysis
Once received, our toolmakers carefully open and disassemble the mold to evaluate all functional components—such as cores, кухини, слайдове, изхвърлящи щифтове, and cooling lines.
We analyze the root cause of the issue, which may include:
Metal fatigue or wear from prolonged use
Corrosion in cooling channels
Misalignment due to improper clamping
Cracks or parting line damage
This diagnostic phase ensures that we address not just the visible damage but the underlying causes as well.
стъпка 3: Proposal and Cost Estimate
After our analysis, we prepare a detailed proposal that outlines:
Recommended repair procedures
Replacement components (ако е необходимо)
Estimated cost and lead time
Optional performance improvements
This proposal is shared with the customer for review. We always ensure full transparency before any work begins.
стъпка 4: Customer Approval and Repair Execution
Once the customer approves the proposal and necessary paperwork is completed, our skilled technicians proceed with the repair.
Typical repair work includes:
Welding and re-machining worn surfaces
Replacing broken or worn inserts and pins
Reworking damaged shut-offs or gate areas
Cleaning and polishing to restore mold finish
All repairs are performed with precision to OEM standards or better, ensuring that the mold returns to production-ready condition.
стъпка 5: Quality Verification and Testing
Before returning the mold to the customer, we perform test runs and dimensional inspections to verify performance.
Our goal is to ensure the mold produces parts with consistent dimensions, Качество на повърхността, and cycle times equivalent to or better than its original condition.
Често задавани въпроси
