Material Selection

Material selection is a key step in the design process. For the selection of a specified part, the most important consideration is the function of the part and the related material properties that determine the function of the part. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider such components as characteristics and taboos, external conditions when using, critical conditions, service life and use mode, maintenance method, product size and dimensional accuracy, molding processing technology, production quantity, production speed, cost, raw material sources and economic benefits. These factors include two aspects, on the one hand, the use of environmental media and environmental conditions, such as the load and self-weight of the component, impact and vibration and other mechanical effects; contact with gases, liquids, solids and chemicals; the effects of exposure to atmospheric conditions (temperature, humidity, rainfall, sunlight, snow and ice, and harmful gases, etc.); effects of storage environmental conditions and long-term storage; in addition to the effects of static damage, it is also necessary to consider the deformation caused by friction heating, creep, molding shrinkage, stress relaxation, fatigue caused by repeated strain, mechanical property changes caused by high strain rate, and so on. On the other hand, during handling and operation, the product may be affected by external forces, even accidental external forces. Only when these factors are fully considered can the required comprehensive performance be defined.

Tool Solution

CN Mould & Plastic Ltd. provides tool solution based on below considerations.

6. Adaptability

The design of the mold should have a certain adaptability to adapt to different process and product requirements. The design should take into account the adjustability and versatility of the mold, so that it can adapt to the production needs of a variety of products. At the same time, the scalability and upgradability of the mold should be taken into account to adapt to the improvement and upgrading of the production line.

1. Rationality

The mold design should meet the process requirements and product design requirements to minimize the waste of materials and processing processes. The size and shape of the design should be reasonable to facilitate the processing and molding of the material. At the same time, the manufacturability of the mold should be taken into account to avoid designing overly complex and difficult to process structures.

2. Reliability

The mold must bear a large force and pressure during use, so it is necessary to have sufficient strength and stiffness to ensure that the mold is not deformed and damaged in long-term use. Mold design should take into account the selection of materials and heat treatment, so that it has sufficient hardness and wear resistance.

3. Maintainability

The mold may be damaged or worn during use, so the design needs to take into account the maintainability of the mold. The structure of the mold should be simple and clear, easy to disassemble and assemble, and convenient to replace damaged parts .At the same time, the parts of the mold should be standardized and generalized in order to facilitate replacement and maintenance.

4. Production efficiency

Mold design should try to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. The design should take into account the die opening force and die opening stroke, so as to improve the die opening speed and production efficiency. At the same time, the cooling system and exhaust system of the mold should be reasonably arranged to ensure the quality and production efficiency of the product.

5. Security

The mold needs to be operated and maintained by the operator during use, so the design needs to take into account the safety of the operation. The structure of the mold should be reasonable and avoid sharp edges and protrusions to avoid injury to the operator. At the same time, the operation and maintenance requirements of the mold should be clear, and the operator should receive corresponding training and guidance.

Quality Control
Planning

CN Mould & Plastic Limited adopts the entire APQP process to maintain product quality. Our quality planning includes following steps and tools:


  • Risk assessment

  • Design and process FMEAs (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)

  • Control Plan

  • Production trials


We proceed with the product development phase through APQP project management, starting with prototypes and pre-series tools, and following through to mass production. In addition, special checklists associated with relevant standards can be used, so that first article inspection (FAI) can be organized to define and check inspection standards related to products and processes according to PPAP. As the core process, control plan is an important part of effective APQP. It contains all the critical and important quality inspection features (process and product related) required for the entire production process.


The benefits of APQP we gain include:

  • Reduced costs

  • Improved product quality

  • Better risk management

  • Increased efficiency

  • Enhanced customer satisfaction

Quality Control Planning

Packaging Solution

The choice of packaging materials should be determined according to the characteristics of the product itself, and take scientific, economic and environmental protection as the basic principles. CN Mould & Plastic Ltd. always determine the best packaging way for the specific products.

1. Plastic bag packaging

Plastic bag packaging is the most common way of packaging plastic parts. This packaging method is often used for small plastic parts, such as screws, nuts, etc. Plastic bag packaging is usually made of transparent or translucent plastic bags, which expand the bag by adding gas and play the role of buffer protection. In addition, plastic bag packaging is economical and practical and easy to label, transport and store.

2. Carton packaging

For plastic parts with large volume and fixed shape, carton packaging is often used. The carton can be customized according to the size of the plastic parts to ensure the stability and safety of the product. In the packaging process, we can also add an appropriate amount of filler, such as foam, bubble film, etc., to play a buffer protection role. In addition, carton packaging is conducive to transportation and storage, low cost, environmental protection.

3. Foam box packaging

Foam box packaging is a high-grade plastic packaging method, suitable for plastic parts that need high strength protection. The foam box is usually composed of two parts: internal foam and external cardboard, which can effectively cushion the impact and protect the plastic parts from damage. In addition, the foam box packaging has the characteristics of moisture-proof and shock-proof, giving the product more added value.

Sample
Validation

Sample validation runs for first article approval. First inspection is seen as an important preventive measure. Long-term practical experience has proved that the first inspection system is an effective measure to detect problems as early as possible and prevent products from being scrapped in batches. Through the first piece inspection, it can be found that systematic causes such as severe wear of the fixture or installation positioning errors, poor accuracy of the measuring instrument, incorrect reading of the drawing, feeding or formulation errors exist, so that corrective or improvement measures can be taken to prevent the occurrence of batch nonconforming products.

In CN Mould & Plastic Ltd.,  the first inspection adopts three inspection system: self-inspection, mutual inspection and special inspection. The products submitted for inspection must first be "self-inspected" by the operator, then "mutual inspection" by the team leader, and finally "special inspection" by the inspector and engineers, and the subsequent products can be processed after being confirmed as qualified. After the first inspection is qualified, it should finally be recognized by the full-time inspector, the inspector should mark the prescribed mark on the first product passed the inspection, and keep it until the class or a batch of products are processed  (must keep samples of first products for the purpose of follow-up product comparison, to see whether the process has changed, and mark "√" with a marker to show that the first inspection has passed). If the first inspection fails, it is necessary to find out the cause, take measures, re-process and carry out three inspections after troubleshooting, until it is qualified, it can be determined as the first piece.

Quality Assurance Plan

In order to ensure that products can meet customer needs and expectations, quality assurance is an very important link. CN Mould & Plastic Ltd. always follow certain steps detailed as below to ensure the effectiveness and accuracy of quality acceptance.

1. Formulate acceptance standards

Formulate clear acceptance standards, including product indicators and requirements. These standards should be based on national standards or industry standards and adjusted accordingly according to the actual situation.

2. Sampling test

Quality acceptance is usually carried out by sampling test. We formulate appropriate sampling plans according to the batch and sales scale of products, and carry out testing in strict accordance with the standards.

3. Conduct testing and evaluation

Through laboratory testing and on-site evaluation, test whether the indicators of the product meet the quality standards. These tests and assessments should be based on scientific methods and techniques and conducted by professional personnel.

4. Record results and feedback

The test results of each sample should be recorded in detail, and timely feedback should be provided to the production department. If the product does not meet the quality acceptance criteria, further analysis and rectification are required to ensure that the product quality meets the requirements of the standard.
