The mold assembiy and the tool and die assembly are fundamentally Gliterent duo lo the forming operation they pesform. ue to the diversity of motd/die designs according to theit functions, this seclion has opted to focus ils description ola dio assembly on a pressworking die and a mold essembly for plastic molding which are among the first and widest applications of molds, tools and dies. ‘Atool and die assombly is used for operations of forming materials in the cold or even hot state stich as in pressworking, stamping, forging, and drawing of melals, plastic and rubber. In these operations, the blank material is placed between the assembly and then the tool is mated with the die to fori the end product, Figure 1 shows the exptoced view of a pressworking dle (which is classified 8S a compound dio) performing a piercing and blanking operation on a strip of melal, Figure 2 shows ihe die as assembled, Among the major components of this die assembly are: 4. Ole set —is a mating pair of plates on which all parts comprising the die assembly may be mounted. This is usually made by several manulacturers ‘aad may be purchased in a variely of shapes and sizes. Technicai rspects 2. Dio shoo — is the upper plate ‘oF block upon which a die holder and In which guide posts ae mounted. 3. Die holder is the tower plato ‘of block of the dia sét upon which the die block is mounted. 4. Dia block — a block or pate of hardened too! stee! out of which the die is cut and to which sections or parts of the die are Secured, 5, Guide posts — pins usually fixed in the lower shoo and accurately filted to bushings in the upper shoe to ensure precise alignment of the two members of a die set. '6, Punch halrler —- the plate or Patt of the dia which hotds the punch. 7.

The operation may be either culling type oF forming type. This type of dia 13 usually of the slinplest possiblo arrangement and construction consistent with the Intended quality of product end life of the die. b. Compound Dies are single stage dies for pertorming two or more ‘operations of the samo general type, The several operations may be perlormed slinultaneously or In sequence, The most important characteristic of this die Is that all operations are performed on the pail in one location, , Progressive Dies are multistage dies in which two or more ‘operations are perfornted during the same strok@ of the press but at several work stations. The Work is fed progressively through several stages, and one or more operations may be performed at each stago. A progressive dig actually may consist of several simple dies mounted on common supporting ‘elements. Some progressive dies Incorporate combination and compound as well as simple stages 7 4, Spectat Dies are those Whose design ang functions are so radical that they possess none of tha dominant characteristics of the more general classes of dies. Typicel dies which can ‘be classilied in this category ara lateral imming dies, hydraulic dies, universal dies, and rubber dies. Recent classifications as adopted in Jepan now take into consideration the dlegsee of precision as an important factor, These a:< “he following: a, Block-type simple single process diefmotd b: York-lype division dlefmotd Atelatively high preciston diefmotd manufactured using surface ~95—Quinding. This usually consists of several stages. ¢. Inserttype high precision dlefmiold This consists of two variants. The fiest design variant involve the placing of a pail (of an insert), which may or may not bo of the same raw material into the die belore the forming operation into the end-prodtict. This parl Is embedded Into the die and becomes a pail of the end product. The second variant involves interchangeable die/aiold parts which permil variation In sizes and configuration of the ond product, Amiold assembly Is used for ‘operations for forming materials in the liquid or semitiquid state such as motaleasting, die casting, plastic infection molding, glass moulding, rubber molding, and ceramic extrusion. In these ‘opetations, the molten material is poured into the motd assembly and allowed to coo! Into the shape of the mold to form the end product. Basically, a mold consists of a plunger and a cavily which form the actual molded part. Supplementing these are the frame components which provide support and guidance end also the ‘operating members which simplity removal of pails from tho mold. A typical mold for plastic cup shown in Figure 3 itustrates the fundamental components normally required in a semi-automatic compression mold. ‘The mold plunger and cavily may bbe made from alloy steels of tool steels. Table 9 summarises suitable materials for a given type of mold and di Molds are available in several lypes of cavity designs to produce a given molded pant. Such types are the following: 1, Flash type — usually aro of the simplest plunger and cavily relationships. The cavily is machined only as deep as the desired molded part and the excess molding compound overliows only ina horizontal piano, While this construction may be tho most economical from the slandpoint of original fooling, overall advantages and disadvantages shovkt bo corisideicd Lefore manulactine of this ‘or any other plunger and cavity dosign. Gonarally the llash iypo dosign Is used fot compression typo molding, 2, Positive typ¢ —~ The action of the truly positive design may be likened to thal of a piston trapping tho molding compound and! forcing it into the cavity Tnasinuch a5 there is no land surrounding {he cavity, the full molding pressure Is, ‘exeried against the compound, and the resultant density of the molded part is uniformly good. Uniformity of flash burt Is another characteristic of this type of old singe the only flash escape occurs as a verlical bure between te fi of the plunger and cavily, One al the critical features of this type of mold is the necessity of accurate veelghing of the motding compound, Any excess material simply lends to Increase tho thickness of the part, and itis therefore ciffcult to maintain close tolerances on veitical dimensions. 8. Semi-positive type — The semtpositive design is a variation of tho baste truly positive type. This design behaves somewhat as a flash type motd Unt the last fraction of an inch of closure, wihen the short positive portion of the plunger enters the cavily depression. ‘This design permits overliow of slight excess of compound charge while retaining good aligament between plunger and cavity. Tho uniform burr characteristic is ospocially beneficial for finishing operations, particularly i belt sanding can be utlized. 4. Landed plunger type —~ This design incorporates many of the desirable fealures of other types previously described. Loading space Is allained by allowing necessary space In cavity block above cavily cut-oll ine. The entering plunger provides excellent alignment between clements molded above and below the parting line, Wear which may occur between plunger and cavity walls ordinarily does not alfect the molded part since nese tines of friction. ate outside the outline af the molded pail, Reasonable conliol of compound weights is cetulred although the situation 1s lar less exitcal than in the truly positive design. —96-‘Top plate Fiat hoad screw (No.3) 7°?"

RaoreRCMRRSREESR Process and Technical Operations The current technology tevel of mold and tool and dle making is characterized as equipment intensive and skil Intensive: In tho Phitippine setting, however, itis sil regarded more as a ‘ral rather than a technology. The main technotogles for die making aro design technology and fabrication technology. Mold and die design technology consists of making several engineering decisions on the elements critical to the dig and then drafting the engineering drawings according to its decldod specifications, Die design must satisty wo ‘primary concerns that sre intorrelated, The first concer Is functional.

The shape and size of the product The Inicacy of the product's ‘shapo generally determines the type of die to be used whether ills a one process die, compound dle, progressive dio, or a lranster die. b. The lype and characteristic of the product's material Different types of materials ike metal, plastic, rubber, glass or ceramic havo a wide range formabllty and this wil also atfect the types of dia and the process to be used, ¢. The quantity or batch size of the product itis necessary that a destgner knows this element so that the economic service life of the die design will match the service tife for producing the required quantity or batch size. Generally, larger quantity or batch sizes cequire higher grades of dio sleet material. Likewise, additional metal finishing process may be required, 4. The required dimensions and tolerances This factor generally dictates tho type of niachine lool fo be used in fabricating a dio. Strict dimensional tolerances, as required by most semi-conductor firms, usually entails using specialized machine tools such as EDMs, NCs and CNCs. ¢. The forming operation tobe used to manufacture the product {function of the ciie) Each type of forming process such as forging, pressworking, stamping, die-casting, extruding of drawing havo particular cie design peculiarities, An example ol this Is that die-casting for either metals or plastic usually have to provide for design parameters for the flow ‘of tho material into the mold, which Is not needed for forging or prossworki f. The type and specification of the forming equipment This element is generally necessary to determing the dimension of the dle sel and its connection to the equipment. Likewise, this element dielates the service condition of the die. g. Die cost ‘This economte concem is usually ‘an inverse factor of product batch size, when the value of ils production run can ‘not offset or recover the cost of ‘manufacturiag the die. In this instance, {he designer has the option of disregarding metal finishing processes, using a cheaper grade of die material to tower die cost or even cecommending the manulacture of the product by other processes such as direct machining or casting. h. Product cost Also an economic concern, a dio can be so designed to ensure least wastage of product raw material and to manufacture the most number of products over time and using lesser forming operations. These considerations lead to lower product unit costs. uensomaeansannenereceor SETA Fabrication Technology As {unctional end acononile design considerations are met, die fabrication is then undertaken. Menulacturing of tool and die parts and components involves several metalworking, metal finishing and quality ‘control metrology processes. The basic procass Involved is machining of too! and die parts, alter which they are heat = 99realed as required. Tho parts may also Undergo Inclustrial (hard) chrome etoctroplating to {urther extend ils service fife, The parts aro then subjected to qquatily control with measurement of cimensions and hardness. As parts meet cequited quality parameters, they are then assembled, from which the die assembly is again dimensionally nieasured. The dio assembly is filed into the forming equipment with several trial runs conducted and adjustments made as necessary. Sequential, Figure 4 shows the Process Flow for Die Making. Die clesign is initiated with the determination of product specification, namely shape, material, quantity, dimension and tolerance, and cost, From this point, the designer draws up conceptual drawings indicating the process design of the die, ‘Then the designer determines the forming operation and the type of ‘equipment to bo used. Aiter gathering these design elements, the drafting of die engineering drawings is then undertaken. The dosigner then analyzes the fabrication process required for machining and metalfnishing and produces a cost estimate of cie fabrication. This is then ‘evaluated in terms of product cost and batch sizo fo dotermine economic viability. tn today's advanced stage of die making, as practiced In Japan, the United States and European counties, the following characteristics can be observed! 1. The ratio of machining to manual processing is 70:30%, 2. For precision machining, CAD/CAM (Computer-aided-design and compvtor-aided-manutacturing) aro widely employed mainly based on CNC (computer numerically controlled) machines. 3. The most advanced stages uses FMS (llexible manufacturing system) and CIM (computer integrated ‘mmanutacturing) where ful automation is ‘employed from material handing, processing, and oven quality contol 4, Now metal finishing technologies for lieal trealment aiid surface treatinent hava led to the usi of materials such as sintered and cast-alloyed tool steels, remem Equipment Too! and die making is an equipment intensive process most often requiring specialized machine lools, melal finishing and quafily control {measuring} equipment to achive high precision dimensional tolerances. A new equipment slowly being introduced by the industry are computers for computer-aided design. Machine Tools ‘The machine tools of the tool and die Industry can be categorized under general purpose machining and varlous specialized machining processes.

For purposes of this study, the {echnical manpower of the tool and die Industry Is categorized in the level of engineers, technicians (Irado gradualos), skiled (1st class workers), seml-skilled (2nd class workers), and slightly skiled (Grd class workers). Table 13 shows the Gisttibution of production personnel in the industry as classified by tho respondents. Majority of the production workers are skilled workers and trade gradvates conslituting about 26% and 35% fespectively. They are periorming most of the critical machining processes and the assembly operations. Engineers comprising 8% 2x2 :iually assigned in the design, drafting and inspection! quality control deparinents. Serni-skilled (13%) and slightly skilled (16%) workers perform routine machining, material handling and other manual jobs, & aR AREER Operating Schedule Most tool and die shops are ‘operating six working days a week. ‘Seventeen (17) companias indicated ‘operating on a singla shift a day, 26 havo {wo shitis a day and only { operates on & 24 hour basis, seven Raw Materials Consumption / Utilization “nua eer The types of main caw material for des are ordinary cast steel cio set materials, ductile cast iron dio materials, carbon ool sleei, ts. speed lool steet and alloy lool steel.

Seventeen (17) shops responded thal somo of thelr sources of rai materials are local manulacturers, indicative that they aro using cast iron die aterlals, while all forty three (49) respondents indicated that thelr raw materials are procured from local distributors of Imported carbon tool steel, high speed tool steel and alloy tool stee!, with nine (9) shops aro diractly importing these. The supply network of ravv materials is stated on Table 14. Oniy nine (9) firms stated thelr cast iron or steel raw materials consumption which averages at 27 UTiyeas. These companies maintained an average inventory of about 3 MT equivalent to be about four (4) months load lime as they indicated. However, itis acknowledged that this 's unusually high since the nine (3) mentioned cespondents to this section are the large and medium firms. oe ns Sets of lool and die assembly for various applicatfons (Courtesy of Maximetals Ind., Inc.) —105—Chapter IV Product Lines / Services As discussed in the Industry Profile, there are twenty nine (29) shops which are classified as independent shops producing molds, simple dies, compound dies, jigs and lixtures, and also provide dio repair services. Most of theso shops are also heavily engaged in general machining services for industiial parts, Table 15 provides the breakdown ‘of products/services provided by both Independent and in-house shops. The holding companies of fiteen (15) identified in-house shops produces various end-products from the dies. and molds they fabricate. Accordingly, six (6) ‘of these firms go on to produce forgings for motorcycle, automotive and olher industrial parts, five (5) fiems produce plastic products and fiteen (16) firms are engaged in pressworking and stamping, One {1} shop produces molds for manufacturing rubber products while another firm manulactures metal die-cast. fon Local Production mereowaaeny Ot the forty four (44) respondents, only thirty (wo (82) provided suitable production data (1990}. As there is no fixed correlation between molds and die assembly weight and ils price, this study Uses "salas* as the moro rellabla market indicator. Categorically broken down as shown ia Table 16, fourteen (14) shops teported tool and dio sales of less than P5.1M, six (6) shops had turnover bolween Ps.1M end Ps.2.5M whil five (5) shops sold Ps.2.5M but under Ps.6M. in the high tumover groups, two (2) had Market Analysis sales of Ps.5M bul less than Ps.10M and five (5) firms manufactured over Ps.10M worth of dies and molds. Extrapolating these production data, toll local production of molds and dies i estimated to be Ps.159.5M, This estimate consists of local production for both the focal market and the export market. Ol the sales volume of molds and dies generated in 1990 Ps.83.1M were manulactured by the independent shop (feported by 23 shops) accounting for 56%, while P3.76.4M were produced by the inhouse shops (reported by 8 shops) representing about 44% for their Jobbing services. To explain this close dilferenco despite fewer in-house shops that reported, it can be pointed out that one in-house shop for the biggest manulacturing congtomerala in the country reported a production value of 3.5811, already accounting for about 37% of the total recorded local production, raves Importation The Philippine manufacturing industry has been heavily relying on imported motds and dies. Table 17 shows the import value from 1987-1990 a8 dlassilied by the National Statistics Office. imports of molds and dies have shaiply risen trom $7.8 M in 1987, to $10.8 M in 1989, and then $19.4 M4 in 1989 before posting a modest increase to $14.9 M (P402 M) In 1980. This represents almost 100% increase over tho four-year period. Rubber and plastic molds are traditionally the largest type of Imports accounting for 43%, (in 1990) followed by dies foF stamping, forging, and = 106—Table.15 Product Lines/Services Offered “Product Lines / No. of Shops Senices "Simple Oies 4 “ oinpound Dies 29 Progrossive Dies ‘4 “Molds : 20 vigs and Fixtures 14 End Products other 15 ‘than Tool and Die (e.9. rhactilie spare parts, “3. forgings, plastic components, die casts, cubber products) Repair & other Services “<4 pressworking comprising 23%, glass molds represented 14% of tho imports and molds for metals and metal carbides ‘comprised 7% of the imports for the same year. imports of other types of molds and dies not classified in any of tho above group accounted for 13% of 1990 imports.

Technical Capability Tool and die making technological expertise is basically a function of manufacturing and design capability, ‘The foremost constraint affecting manofacturing capability is that majority of the machine tools are outdated, limiting production of more complex and higher precision motds and dies. Aithough there aro Initia signs of modernization with the growing number ‘of NC3 and GNCs, the pace of their acquisition does aot seem to adequately match the'market demand, Some shops havo chown capability to produce fairly complex molds and dles but these are more of exception and thele productivily fs questionnable, Another critical factor is the limited dosign oxpacise with oniy a handiul of compatent die designers available. This can be traced to the fact that the time span of five (6) to ten (10) years to generato dle detign expertise greatly discourages interested praciiioners. ‘The industry is also facin Inadequate technical suppoit facilities, specifically heat \ealment and industrial chromo plating, deterring their capability to lmprove the service life of their molds and dies. In addition, thelr eapabitily to produico high precision molds and dies beyond the five (5) micron-level can not ba suppoited by existing measuring instruments. To validate this, the MIRDC Problems and Prospects Metrology Laboratory barely has clients despile the obvious need of lool and die shops for metrology services. Manpower ‘One ol the major problems of the industry is the chronic lack of tool and die makers, which is allributable to Wo: factors. The first factor is the over-all insufficient manpower development programs for tool and die making technology. Several institutions are known to be offering tool and die making ‘seminars namely, MIRDC, Metalworking Industries Assoclation of the Philippines, Dualtech Training Center, Meralco Foundation, Technological University of the Philippines, Don Bosco Technical Center, and soon tha NMYC, But as verified enroliment schedules are nol on a regular basis. ‘such thal their combined graduates ere not sufficient to match the requirements ‘of the industry. 1 sig dosign and enginoering, the DLSU and University of tho Phitippines are offering toat and die engineering course on their Engineering Masteral clegres progranis bul they are also known to be inactive, Tho other factor exacerbating tha manpower dilemma of the industry is the continuous exodus of our trained dia makers for overseas jobs speclally to the Midato East. This has even fed to the drain of our trainors on tool and di, Othér manpower related probtems. ited by the respondents are low employee productivity, arising mainly from lack of skills. High employeo luin-over was aso reported due to prevalent pirating practices among tool and de shops. Unreasonabte untonism ‘was also appatent as two shops were plagued by strikes and one was ‘eventually closed bocauso of this, =aMarketing Majority of the respondesits have inclicated thal thelr foremost marketing problem is tho irrational price competition since itis almost impossible to formulate a standard pricing policy for molds and dies. Some shops have complained! of allimited market, while others point to foreign competition as theit main market problem, But looking back al the Market ‘Analysis Section, the huge volume of imports seems to validate the laller percepiion of the respondents and at the same lime refuting the former complaint Majority of the respondents were contident of thelr product quality, although this can be dispuled as one of the main reasons why end-users opt to import their molds and dies rather than have them manufactured locally. 3 e ee Financing The lack of suitable financing was consistently painted oul by respondents a one of thelr main problems, particularly the independent shops. They complained that commercial loans with high interest rates (pegged al 29% at the {ima of the survey) have been deterring their modernization and expansion plans. In rosponse (o this, the survey {am presented a consolidated brieting list of various government soit-term financing programs for start-up, modernization and expansion of the Industries under the TLAC, DBP, and SSS, This information was well-received by tho shops, bul most of them are reluctant on taking their own steps to avail of these financing programs, possibly due to weriness of long processing procedures and heavy collaterals required. Another example of tool and die mounted on the press (Courtesy of Maximetats Ind., Ine.) ~ 13Utililies Elochicily as a uiiily problems remains to be the biggost fnctor alfecting tho industiy, mainly duo to the ineroa: frequency of power intercuplion causing operational delays. In addition, high power rales contribute a big factor in production cost. Likewise, the Industry noted some difficulties in communication and transportation, Government Regulation High taritis on caw materials and equipment cemain to be the predominant government regulations affecting the industry. The respondents further stated hat this Is compounded by the complicated customs procedures. Prospects Despite the burden of these problems and weaknesses, majority of lhe compainies are stil optimistic about the business prospects in the county. Eighteen (18) respondents have indicated expansion plans in terms of additional capacity, eight (8) companies are piarining to employ new production processes while ten (10) other Companies aro considering downsteam manufacturing of new products for electronics, automotive parts and metal fasteners. To achiove these they havo professed that thy wil have to adopt major technological advances perticulally the use of CAD, CNCs, metrology techniques and metal finishing.
