Thank you for reading Market News.
Aska Company manufactures about 50 molds per year, and this time we would like to introduce how we store our molds.
Storage and Management of Molds
The most important issue when storing molds is to prevent rusting.
To prevent physical rusting, we use stainless steel for most of the product parts.
As a general rule, we store molds indoors in a dedicated humidity-controlled warehouse.
For management, we issue a mold code at the time the mold is manufactured or received, and manage the number in our in-house system.
Storage and Management of Mold Parts
In the case of prototype molds, the mold base is sometimes shared and only the product part is manufactured, so that many product parts exist in a single mold base.
We manage the parts by tying them to the respective molds.
In addition, some parts themselves do not have engravings, making it difficult to identify which part is which.
If a sticker is applied to identify the part, it may peel off, and clearance is important for mold parts.
Therefore, we have introduced laser markers in our MK activities (QC circle activities) and are using them to manage mold parts.
Since molds and mold parts are expensive entrusted items, we will store and manage them with the utmost care.
