A proposal of insert production technology for an injection mold

This bachelor thesis is focused on the design of technology for the production of a removable insert into an injection mould. The main aim of the thesis is to elaborate the technological process of production of this component. In the introduction part of the thesis a research of technologies of production of injection moulds is carried out. The work also includes a description of the mold parts and their functions. Furthermore, the basic properties of the materials which are most commonly used for the production of inserts are described. The work is focused on the identification of mould defects in production and their possible causes. The thesis also describes the manufacturing technologies for the production of moulds.The practical part focuses on the design of a new pattern of replaceable component, the selection of tools, machines and gauges for the production of a new design of replaceable insert. A detailed assessment of the available options and the selected optimal production variants to achieve the quality and accuracy of the product is made. On the result of the proposed technical requirements, a technological procedure for the production of the insert to the injection mould. This process includes a precise description of the individual manufacturing operations, including material selection, drawing documentation, selection of gauges and tools, and programming of tool trajectories. Using these toolpaths, the production time for the selected machines was determined. The found results are compared with the production time of the same inserts of other designs and the possibilities of rationalizing the production process to achieve maximum production efficiency are discussed
