What are the key safety points for metal mold design? In terms of structure, it should ensure the convenience of feeding, clamping, ejection, and waste material cleaning. For the processing of small parts, it is strictly forbidden for operators to insert their fingers, wrists, or other body parts into the mold area for operation; for the processing of large parts, if the operator needs to work inside the mold by hand, they should minimize the area of entry and try to reduce the time a body part stays inside the mold. Additionally, the dangerous area of the mold should be clearly marked, and necessary protective measures and equipment should be provided.

Hardware Molding

All parts on the mold should have sufficient strength and rigidity to prevent damage and deformation during use. Fastening parts should have anti-loosening measures to avoid accidental injury to the operator.

No waste or flying debris during the processing stage is permitted, as it can distract operators and even injure them. Additionally, avoid sharp burrs on the trimming pieces from cutting hands. Operators are not allowed to make excessive movements during press operations to prevent unstable postures that could lead to loss of balance; excessive and precise movements during work are also prohibited. Strong noise and vibrations during the pressworking process should be minimized as much as possible.

Mold designs should indicate the weight on the overall drawing for ease of installation and safety. Parts over 20 kilograms should have lifting and handling measures to reduce labor intensity. The assembly and disassembly of mold components should be convenient and safe, avoiding the possibility of hand entrapment or cuts; molds should be easy to disassemble and store. In summary, even minor issues in molds can affect safety. Only by analyzing specific problems in each operation can safety precautions within the mold be proposed.
