Recently, the demand of high-productivity injection mold increases since the consumption of packaging grows in the world. Stack mold is composed of more than two molds and it has very high productivity and economic efficiency. In advanced country, stack mold which has was developed already but, in occasion of domestic mold industry, there is no study of stack mold. In this study, die and mold of in-mold labeling was developed for securing the technique of manufacturing high-productivity mold.

In this paper, The experimental study on the crack during press forming of the door latch assembly for a vehicle door is performed. Length to be inserted into the conventional mold upper die punch is 20 mm, wherein the cracks are generated on the product surface and causes a secondary quality problem. In this study, the length to be inserted in the mold upper die punch 0 mm, 10 mm, 20 mm, which was changed to perform the experiment. Through the experiment, the length inserted into the mold can be seen that the upper die punch of the press forming conditions optimized when the 0 mm.

This paper describes a new surface finishing process which uses magnetic abrasive polishing. This is applied to automatic finishing of die & mold surface. Nowadays, most of die & mold meanufaturing procedures have been automated by the introduction of NC machine tool and CAD/CAM system. But the surface finishing of die & mold must be done by hand work of well-skilled workers. Though many attempts were tried in the past 15 years to eliminate this hand work, the automatic finishing of die & mold surface with 3D curvature has not been achieved yet. New magnetic abrasive finishing process is thought as one of the possible methods for the automation of 3D surface finishing. In order to improve the grindability of the method, ultra-high speed and 5-axis machining was introduce. The magnetic abrasive polishing which has adopted these methods was confirmend to improve the efficiencyof die & mold surface finishing.

In this study, die turning injection(DTI) mold design for manufacturing reservoir fluid tanks used for cooling in-vehicle batteries, inverters, and motors was conducted based on multi-field CAE. Part design, performance evaluation, and mold design of the reservoir fluid tank was performed. The frequency response characteristics through modal and harmonic response analysis to satisfy the automotive performance test items for the designed part were examined. Analysis of re-melting characteristics and structural analysis of the driving part for designing the rotating die of the DTI mold were performed. Part design was possible when the natural frequency performance value of 32Hz or higher was satisfied through finite element analysis, and the temperature distribution and deformation characteristics of the part after injection molding were found through the first injection molding analysis. In addition, it can be seen that the temperature change of the primary part greatly influences the re-melting characteristics during the secondary injection. The minimum force for driving the turning die of the designed mold was calculated through structural analysis. Hydraulic system design was possible. Finally, a precise and efficient DTI mold design for the reservoir fluid tank was possible through presented multi-field CAE process.

Even though 3D press die design gains more attention everyday in Korea, there are shortages of infrastructure and proper environments for it. What is most needed is human resources development and 3D die design standardization, on which the pace of 3D die design adoption depends. This study focuses on 3D press die design process by looking into an instance in which 3D die design system had been used to sell dies to a company "S" in Japan.

Shaving in sheet metal forming is defined as a finish process to make the sheared surface clean which was blanked or pierced in the previous shearing stage. In this study the new shaving technique is applied to the progressive operation. The specimen is automatically fed by continuous movement of the strip. Which improve the positioning accuracy higher. For this study a square part which consist of blanking and piercing is selected for investigation and the progressive die which includes pre-piercing, pierce-shaving, half-blanking and blank-shaving etc is prepared for specimens of steel sheet(SPCC) and aluminum alloy sheet(AL5052). Experiments are carried out for several working variables such as shaving allowance, pre-shearing clearance and relative half-blanking depth. Consequently it was confirmed that the shaving by progressive die can be successfully employed to produce the clean parts requiring shaving process and optimum working conditions for shaving SPCC and AL5052 sheet metal are shaving allowance of 0.2mm(1.3% of thickness) and pre-shearing clearance of 5%.

Alloy tool steel such as SKD11 and SKD61 or high speed tool like SKH51 are used as materials for semiconductor dies. Cavities, curl blocks, pot blocks and housings are made from those materials. To make those parts from alloy tool steel or high speed tool, one utilizes discharge machining, and mechanical machining including machining center, milling, drilling, forming grinding and others. In the process of cutting machining and polishing, the die materials become unsuitable for machining owing to bubbles and foreign substances in them, which hinders production process. Therefore, this study focuses on die material selection criteria, and on analysis and comparison of material characteristics to help companies to solve their problems, make die manufacture less burdensome and extend die life.

HI-WORTH T-32, a non-powered plasma cutter, is a portable cutter that utilizes compressor-plasma inverter. With a special air-pressure piston, the cutter is semiautomatic. When they were produced by die casting dies, the bodies or housings of the cutter have defects about 100 percent of defect rate due to blisters and thermal deformation. Therefore, they are produced by mechanical machining, which leads to a hike in material and machining costs and to the loss of productivity. And companies are left with insignificant profit margins. Besides mechanical machining, this study proposes to modify defective mold and cut down defective rate and boost productivity.

This study is about 3D design for parts supporting copper pipes of wall-mounted air-conditioners manufactured by company "D" in Japan. Domestic press die manufacturers are obsessed with 2D die design and are afraid of taking risk with developing 3D die design and die manufacture. This hinders paradigm shift. In this study, the strip layout, which was already completed in the previous study, is altered by adding restriking. Based on the modified strip layout, the 3D die design is done in 15 processes.

Orchard sprayers, wide area dusters and multipurpose control cars are flagship products of Hansung T&I Ltd. Spray pumps are one of the essential parts for these products. But conventional belt pulleys for spray pumps are heavy and expensive, and they bring down the quality as well as productivity of the end-products. Therefore, this study focuses on mold design for aluminum die casting belt pulley and mold manufacture.
