First of all, the performance of tires such as safety, drainage, grip and driving comfort are all related to the pattern design of the mold.
Traditional processing methods such as high-speed milling are difficult to meet the needs when facing complex and changeable patterns with increasingly high precision requirements. Nowadays, additive manufacturing technology is gradually showing its advantages.
Additive manufacturing can break through the limitations of traditional processing structure design. For example, it can easily realize various complex designs of tire mold 3D steel sheets, such as sharp edges, round edges, 3D stereoscopic structures and subtle textures, and can also print steel sheets of various sizes and shapes in the same batch, and can modify the design arbitrarily through software to achieve personalized mass production. Moreover, the steel sheets produced by additive manufacturing equipment have high density and high strength.
Additive manufacturing technology can not only print 3D steel sheets, but also directly print the entire pattern mold, realize the integrated production of complex pattern molds, solve problems such as steel sheet inlay, and further reduce costs and optimize processes.
In addition, tire molds are also divided into many types, such as two-half molds, active molds, etc., and different structural characteristics are suitable for vulcanizing different patterns.
When using molds for vulcanization, check the gaps and vents of each part, and do a good job of lubrication and periodic maintenance between parts. At the same time, laser cleaning of tire molds is also an advanced and suitable cleaning process. After the laser irradiates the mold surface, the deposits are instantly vaporized and evaporated, and can clean difficult-to-reach locations. It has high cleanliness, no pollution, no noise, and is harmless to the human body and the environment.
