Autoclave sealing ring mold: a powerful tool for precision manufacturing of medical device sterilization equipment
In the field of medical device sterilization equipment, the reliability and precision of the equipment are crucial, which is directly related to the sterilization effect and patient safety. As a key equipment, the sealing performance of the autoclave is of utmost importance. Today, let's talk about the precision manufacturing of the autoclave sealing ring mold and the key role played by the ultra-large full-service wire cutting machine processing.
Have you ever thought about how a seemingly simple sealing ring can withstand the pressure of tens of atmospheres in an autoclave and maintain stable sealing performance for a long time? This is inseparable from the precise mold manufacturing process. The super-large full-service wire cutting machine is the key to achieving this precision manufacturing.
Product analysis and challenges of case customers
Let’s take a leading manufacturer of medical device sterilization equipment as an example (hereinafter referred to as “the Customer”), whose products are known for their excellent performance and reliability. In the production process of its high-pressure sterilizer, the manufacture of sealing ring mold is a key link. This customer has extremely high requirements for the precision, surface finish and dimensional stability of the sealing ring mold.
Specifically, the customer's autoclave sealing ring mold mainly involves the following key components:
Mold cavity: This is the core part of the sealing ring molding. Its internal structure is complex and its size and shape need to be precisely controlled to ensure the accuracy and sealing performance of the sealing ring.
Mold core: The core determines the internal structure and size of the sealing ring, and also requires extremely high processing precision.
Sprue bushing: The sprue bushing is the channel for the molten material to enter the mold. The size and shape of its internal flow channel have an important influence on the quality of the sealing ring.
The difficulties in processing these parts are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
High precision requirements: Medical device sterilization equipment has extremely high requirements for sealing performance, which means that the sealing ring mold must have extremely high dimensional accuracy and shape accuracy, usually at the micron level. For example, this customer requires the dimensional tolerance of the mold cavity to be controlled within ≤±0.00 3 mm, and the surface roughness Ra to be less than ≤ 0.7-1.4 μm.
Complex structure processing: In order to meet the specific functional requirements of the seal ring, the mold cavity and core often have complex curved surfaces and fine features, which poses a great challenge to the performance and processing technology of the processing equipment. Traditional processing methods are difficult to meet these requirements and are prone to stress deformation and precision loss.
High-hardness material processing: In order to ensure the wear resistance and service life of the mold, high-hardness mold steel is usually used, such as SKD61, SKD11, etc. The hardness of these materials is as high as HRC50 or above, and the processing is very difficult. Ordinary processing equipment is easy to wear and it is difficult to ensure processing accuracy.
High efficiency requirements: The medical device market has a strong demand, and customers have high requirements for product delivery cycles. Therefore, mold processing efficiency is also crucial. How to improve processing efficiency while ensuring accuracy is another challenge facing mold manufacturers.
Advantages of ultra-large full-service wire cutting machine processing
In response to the above challenges, ultra-large full-service wire cutting machine processing technology has shown unique advantages:
High precision: technologies such as full closed-loop control, ultra-precision machining power supply, fine wire diameter control and precise tension control enable the ultra-large full-service wire cutting machine to achieve micron-level machining accuracy, perfectly meeting the high-precision requirements of high-pressure sterilization pot sealing ring molds.
Complex structure processing capability: Wire cutting is a process that removes material by moving the electrode wire. It can process parts of any complex shape without considering the interference of the tool. Therefore, it is very suitable for processing mold cavities and cores with complex surfaces and small features.
High-hardness material processing capability: Wire cutting processing adopts the principle of electro-erosion and is not limited by the hardness of the material. It can easily process various high-hardness mold steels without causing tool wear problems, ensuring processing accuracy and stability.
High efficiency: Zhikai CNC's ultra-large full-service wire cutting machine adopts advanced processing technology and efficient wire feeding system, which greatly improves processing efficiency, shortens the mold manufacturing cycle, and can help customers quickly respond to market demand.
