AMTS06 Mold DesignAMTS 6.0 Mold Design All tooling is to be designed and documented to the point that duplicate or replacement tooling can be constructed from the documentation such as prints and/or math data. Designs can be produced on an approved linen, drafting paper, or electronic database. Copies are to be kept in a secure place protected from theft or destruction. It is the customer’s responsibility to maintain document control throughout the project. The part prints will be the overriding documents on design or quality issues. All other drawings are secondary to the latest part drawing, therefore, the supplier will be responsible for keeping an updated file of only the latest part drawings. Part history files are the obligation of the customer. Some molds, fixtures, secondary devices, or gages require only a layout design showing the general construction of the tool. These tools/equipment need not follow the specifications outlined, but written approval must be acquired prior to tool/equipment builds. 6.1 All designs or drawings will be completed in the measurement system that the part prints are completed in. If the part print is metric, the tooling or equipment will be in metric and vice versa for Anglo-American (English) units. At no time will designs be rendered in a different measurement system than the part print without prior authorization from Argo Mold. 6.2 It is understood that the design of the mold/equipment does not necessarily mean the product produced will be to print specifications. The intent of the design and build is to construct tooling/equipment that will be as close as possible to the print specifications and require the minimal amount of corrections to bring the product into specification in a timely and professional manner. It is therefore the joint responsibility of both the customer and supplier to design and build tooling/equipment that will hold to this intent. 6.3 All drafting is to be completed to the latest prevailing part print, and furthermore to the customer’s design/documentation format standards, if available. Designs are to be available for review and approval prior to the start of tool/equipment construction. Drawing media will be math data. 6.3.1 Approvals are to be in the form of a letter or memo stating the tool or equipment being built, its identification numbers (customer and supplier), and engineering level from which the design was created. The signatures and date of the responsible supplier member(s) and the Argo Mold Project Team must be included. 6.4 Designs of tools or equipment other than injection molds will comply with Argo Mold standards. 6.5 The design and construction of injection molds will comply with the above format, and the supplementary requirements listed below: 6.5.1 Argo Mold will approve the preliminary designs with whatever corrections are required. For molds that do not require complete tool designs, the tool design will be detailed after the preliminary design approval. Final designs will be submitted for approval by the customer at a design review meeting, prior to the completion of the mold. 6.5.2 Supplemental designs, diagrams, and sketches need only to be done on complete designed molds. 6.5.3 The mold design must include an isometric drawing of the core and cavity blocks viewed from the parting line surfaces with the location and I.D. of each water circuit. The drawing is to include a notation for the minimum flow rate for all circuits to achieve sufficient cooling. This drawing must be reproducible on an “A” size sheet of paper. 6.5.4 If the mold is fitted with a hot runner system, the mold design must include an isometric (three dimensional) view showing and identifying the location of the hot drops and the manifold section(s) from the parting line. This drawing must be reproducible on an “A” size sheet of paper and labeled “Sheet 1 of 2". 6.5.5 A second drawing will consist of a wiring diagram with the size and location of the heaters and thermocouples. The diagram should include how the heaters and thermocouples are wired to their respective receptacles. The drawing should include all of the components of the system and a listing of the heaters by size, wattage, and manufacturer’s description. This drawing must be reproducible on an “A” size sheet of paper and labeled “Sheet 2 of 2". 6.5.6 Similar drawings as those rendered in Sections 6.5.3 and 6.5.4 are to be completed for any other supplementary or subcontracted mechanisms that may require repair and/or maintenance. Examples include, but are not limited to: chain drive or hydraulic unscrewing mechanisms, |
