Are you looking for SMC molds? The right SMC mold is very important for your business development, so there are some things that need to be paid attention to during the purchase process. So today, based on years of work experience, we will share with you the things to pay attention to in the process of buying SMC molds.
Precautions for purchasing SMC molds
We will divide the entire inspection period into three periods before delivery, during delivery, and after delivery. Below we will separately discuss the inspection work required for these three stages.
Before delivery
There is no doubt that the most important thing is the agreement with the SMC mold equipment manufacturer when the contract is signed. Some customers will have special requirements for equipment in the size of FRP products or product shapes that will be pultruded in the future. For example, the gantry clamping needs to be widened or heightened, and some products with special-shaped cross-sections require special speed measurement settings and internal clamping command settings in the equipment control system. These special needs must be fully communicated with the SMC mold manufacturer in advance to ensure the smooth development of the follow-up business after delivery.
After that, if possible, the company’s specialized personnel can be organized to follow up all the manufacturing process of SMC mold equipment, and the structure, structure, operating instructions, protection and maintenance of SMC mold equipment, common fault removal, etc., and SMC mold equipment manufacturers For exchanges and learning, we can also organize experienced professional and technical personnel or experts in related fields to go directly to the manufacturer for follow-up and inspection.
During delivery
some of these inspections are best carried out in the factory of the SMC mold equipment manufacturer, so that problems can be found and corrected in time.
The main points of the test are:
- The appearance of SMC mold equipment. Check whether the packaging of the equipment is intact, whether it is damaged or deformed; whether the key components such as the electronic control system and the pumping station system are equipped with stainless steel cylinders are complete, and whether the hydraulic pumping station is leaking.
- If conditions permit, the SMC mold equipment manufacturer is required to conduct a test machine on the spot. Through the test machine, it can be found whether the equipment is running smoothly and whether the control system and the display system can operate smoothly.
- Based on the supply contract, technical data, shipping list, instruction manual, etc., check whether the spare parts and accessories of the equipment are complete.
After delivery
SMC mold manufacturers usually make a warranty period for their own molds for a period of time. This is the most beneficial one for the users of our pultrusion equipment. Under the conditions that we can strive for, we can demand a longer warranty period from the equipment manufacturer. Planning and perhaps even more powerful customers can even require equipment manufacturers to provide a certain period of warranty money as a pawn, which is of great help to protect their own interests.
Conclusion
The above are some things we need to pay attention to when buying SMC molds. Of course, whether it is a familiar partner or a new supplier, full communication and exchanges are required to ensure the development of follow-up business and strive for greater benefits for follow-up production and operation.
