It is imperative to prioritize the development of intelligent molds

What is smart manufacturing equipment and smart molds? The so-called intelligent manufacturing equipment is a manufacturing equipment with sensing, analysis, decision-making and control functions. The intelligent mold also has the functions of sensing, analysis, decision-making and control. The stamping mold and die-casting mold with sensing and temperature control functions have the function of temperature control. The injection molds, etc., manufactured by intelligent control means such as injection molding parameters and in-mold flow conditions are intelligent molds.

Industry expert Luo Baihui pointed out at the 2011 International Forum on Die & Mould Machinery & Equipment Industry that as China's low-cost human resources are difficult to sustain and the level of science and technology continues to grow, automation and intelligent manufacturing will inevitably become an important development direction of modern manufacturing. The mold is also bound to develop rapidly. Producing products with intelligent molds can further improve product quality and production efficiency, save more materials, realize automated production and green manufacturing. Therefore, although the current total amount of smart mold is still not much, but it represents the new direction of development of mold technology, will play an increasingly important role in the industry product structure adjustment and change in development methods. The development of intelligent molds will inevitably have a powerful driving role in promoting the rapid improvement of the entire mold industry. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to prioritize the development of intelligent molds in the development of the industry.
