In the production process of automobile tires, the mold is a very important mechanical equipment. The quality of the mold directly affects the quality of the tire. There will be engraved patterns or other patterns on the surface of the tire mold, and the mold is often used in high temperature and high humidity environments, so there will be a lot of rubber or other residues left in the engraved grooves. After a certain degree, it will affect the shape and structure of the mold and eventually lead to the production of defective products, so it is particularly important to keep the tire mold clean.
The laser cleaning machine has a very good performance to clean rubber.
What is laser cleaning machine?
The principle of laser cleaning is to use high-frequency high-energy laser pulses to irradiate the surface of the workpiece, and the coating layer can instantly absorb the focused laser energy, so that the oil stains, rust spots or coatings on the surface can be evaporated or peeled off instantly, and the surface attachments or surfaces can be removed efficiently at high speed. The coating is cleaned in a way that the laser pulses with very short action time will not harm the metal substrate under the proper parameters.
Advantages of laser cleaning machine in tire molds?
1. High efficiency: After the laser is radiated to the surface of the mold, it will be absorbed by the deposits on the surface of the mold. Under the action of high temperature energy, the deposits are instantly vaporized and evaporated off the surface of the object, and the time required is very short. At the same time, with automatic equipment, the cleaning time will be greatly reduced. The traditional cleaning methods, such as ultrasonic cleaning, can only be cleaned after preheating, cooling and other processes, which takes a long time. For a tire manufacturer with a daily output of thousands, laser cleaning technology is obviously the most efficient.
2. Reliable: The laser beam can reach the parts that are not easy to be cleaned for cleaning, and the cleanliness is higher. Moreover, laser cleaning is non-contact cleaning, and no solvent or substance is added during the cleaning process, so under appropriate process parameters, it will not cause damage to the mold. Compared with traditional mechanical cleaning, chemical cleaning and other methods, it is more reliable.
3. Environmental protection: Laser cleaning uses a high-energy beam without using any organic solvent, so it is pollution-free and noise-free, and is harmless to the human body and the environment.
