Needless to say, molds have a lifecycle. In the course of mass production, the components will wear out and deteriorate, and the mold will gradually lose the ability to perform to its full potential.
At some point, the mold must be replaced.
What are the costs involved in replacing the mold?

• Cost of the mold itself
• Loss caused by stopping the production line
• Cost of certification required for new molds

As such, there are additional costs other than that of the mold itself.

Enomoto has researched and developed press molds that are 20 times more durable than the conventional molds using our unique and special processing technology.
It is a long-life mold that we have finally contrived after careful selection of the materials as well as the repeated examination, production, and testing of the processing methods.
The results of in-house testing showed that the number of shots the mold can withstand is 20 times that of conventional molds.
We have also ascertained the improvement in quality during the shots when the mold is nearing its cycle limit, and it is safe to say that this mold is an exceptional product.

The advantages of introducing this long-life mold include the following:

・Reduced operating costs by increasing productivity and utilization rates

・Reduced frequency of updates

・Stabilized product dimensions and structure due to the extended life of mold parts

・Reduced lead time

* Long-life molds demonstrate great power, especially with products that are expected to be mass-produced.
