Metal stampings require meticulous care and maintenance during daily use to ensure their continued stable performance. These maintenance activities are typically performed by professional operators, with confirmation from die maintenance personnel to ensure effectiveness. A recommended maintenance cycle is once per production batch. After each batch is completed, the operator should meticulously record the die's condition during production, the quality of the first and last parts and in-process parts, maintenance procedures performed, and repair activities. These records serve as crucial evidence for assessing whether further repairs are needed.
Before putting metal stampings into use, a comprehensive inspection must be conducted. This includes confirming that all die components are intact and have been correctly adjusted and set according to process requirements. Simultaneously, the lubrication system must be checked for adequacy to ensure adequate lubrication of the metal stampings during production, thereby reducing the risk of wear and malfunction. These meticulous checks ensure the die is in optimal condition from the outset of production, laying a solid foundation for stable subsequent production.
