  3. 1. Why Die/Mold is a Common Technology 1 What is a Die/Mold (1). Forming methods for components/parts: Machining: Extra material is removed by tools, including turning, milling and grinding. Die/Mold Manufacturing: Material is shaped through constraining or extruding die/mold. Die/Mold is the prerequisite for mass production. a. Molds: Material is formed during molten state, such as plastics injection molding and casting mold; b. Dies : Material is formed during solid state, such as stamping, forging and extrusion. Rotate sand wheel Rotate workpiece Rotate milling cutter Feed Feed workpiece Feed workpiece Move tool

  4. Basic Structure of Bending Stamping Die-V Type Workpiece (before forming) shank Upper die punch guide plate Lower die Die Die set Workpiece (after forming)

  5. Plastics Injection Molding Process Step 1: plasticization Step 2: Injection Step 3: Ejection

  6. Die/Mold-- Foundation of Industrial Products *Die/Mold are the key tools to make components & parts. They are also called the mother of industrial products. Through mold & die, the components & parts are able to be made in low cost, mass production and uniform quality. *Though total production value of mold & die is not very high, each set of mold can create the production value at 10~50 times. Production value derived from mold & die in Taiwan area is estimated to exceed NT$1.8 trillion.

  7. Market for Products Manufactured through Die/Mold in 2005

  8. Demand of Die/Mold for Auto Parts Aluminum frame structure Adhesive bonding of Structure • Each automobile requires 1700 sets of stamping die, 500 sets of plastic injection mold and 1000 sets of casting mold. • Expense of mold & die is about NT$3~5 billion. Aluminum casting parts Wear-resistant transmission parts Rocker arm/bearing Magnesium casting parts

  9. Demand of Die/Mold for Notebook Components Casing, frame (Aluminum, magnesium, die casting, sheet hydroforming) IO terminal (stainless steel→titanium) (precision stamping) HDD Parts、 CD Yoke (Press forging) Plastic casing (Injection mold) Every Notebook requires about 50 sets of mold & die for mechanical and casting parts.(Excluding purchased parts, such as flat panel, hard disc, thermal module) 30um fine line (Micro welding, hydro static extrusion) Heat pipe with 0.5mm thickness Battery can (Deep drawing) CPU, IC Thermal module (Counter pressure, press forging) Thickness precision<±0.015mm

  10. 2. Why Die/Mold is an Important Basic Technology

  11. Precision of Die/Mold Affects Product Precision

  12. Connector Parts Manufactured through Die/Mold Global production value of connector: US$36.429 billion Production value of connector in Taiwan: US$3.125 billion Import value from Japan in 2004 US$0.31 billion ●Game machine(such as Sony’s PS2、Microsoft Xbox) ●MP3(iPod) ●Computer (Desktop, NB) ●Cell phone ●Digital camera ●PDA ●Printer ●PCMCI PC Card Kit ●Optical connector ●Automobile ●LCD TV Classification of Connector 1.Rectangular(A) 2.Circular(A) 3.Memory card(A) 4.Board-to-Board(A) 5.FPC/FFC(A) 6.Coxial(B) 7.RF Coxia(B)l 8.Module(A) 9.Card Edge(A) 10.Antenna(B) 11.LAN(B) 12.ECU(B) 13.HID Lamp(B) 14.Board-to-Wire(A) 15.Optical(C) PS:A-Domestic technologies are matured B-Part of domestic technologies is matured C-Rely on importation Applied Products Technical bottleneck • Forming parameters • Machining precision of mold & die • Tolerance control of die/mold parts • Assembly tolerance of die/mold

  13. Extrusion of battery can requires ten stages of die process and each stage can not tolerate any defect. Technical Difficulties Too small Too large Too large Too small Too small Material holding pressure Die clearance Punch R Too large Wrinkles on flange drawing Breakage on punch radius Die center misalignment Typical example of NG extrusion parts Breakage on side wall

  14. Surface Treatment and Heat Treatment for Die/Mold Proper heat treatment/surface treatment can prolong die/mold life. It then improve productivity and hence competitiveness. IC packaging die Previous method: Hard Cr electroplating R&D result:Cr-flon treatment Benefit: Previous method had to clean mold for 2 hours after 500 shots. New coating upgrades to clean mold for 1 hour after 800 shots and increases die life for more than 50%. Nitriding hot forging die for crank shaft of motorcycle/ion increases service life by 3-4 times

  15. A+ Die/Mold Technology must Combine Theory and Practice Progressive die for precision terminal (280 pieces components)Component precision: 1-3μmPrecision after mold & die assembly: 8μm *Die/Mold technology is an integral technology. It includes material flow, control theory, precision processing, heat treatment, surface treatment, structure/mechanism, heat dissipation and tribology as well as knowledge in forming machine. *Excellence in individual technology can not produce a good die/mold. It must take integral thinking, take care of every single element and facilitate good coordination among elements to complete a good mold & die. Therefore the ultimacy of mold & die technology is often considered more of an art than a technology.

  19. Taiwan still relies on import for precision die/mold Industry must enhance basic technology to set up the key technologies of ultra precision mold & die DVD, optical, precision elements of MEMS dimensional precision ±1μm (every mold) dimensional precision ±1μm (mold) Imported components & parts exceeded NT$200 billion in 2003 (Ex.): Production value of TFT-LCD 尺寸精度±1μm (每m) 特徵精度0.1m 2002 (actual): NT$ 3500 billion (V) 超精 密級 Characteristic precision 0.1μm (Technical bottleneck of Taiwanese mold & die industry) Characteristic precision 0.1μm Ultra precision level 2006(target):NT$ 1 trillion 370 billion (10家) (Tech) 尺寸精度±3μm(每m) 2002(actual):NT$1 trillion dimensional precision ±3μm (everymold) (汽車零件、3C精密 薄殼產品….) (IV) Precision level Auto parts, 3C precision thin-wall products 2006(estimate): NT$ 1 trillion 100 manufacturers Casing of home appliances, stationery (一般家電外殼、文具….) (III)Secondary precision level (日用品、家具….) Daily goods, furniture (II)General level Agriculture, industrial usage (農、工業用途….) (I)Cheap level Total Number of Taiwan Mold & Die Manufacturers: 3,526

  20. Current Status of Taiwanese Die/Mold Industry *Production value of Taiwanese die/mold industry amounted NT$50 billion in 2003, roughly accounting for 4.3% of total global production value. The production value ranked the 8th place in 2003. However, it took the 6th place in 2002. Additionally the ranking of production value came behind Japan, USA, Mainland China, Germany, Italy, France and South Korea. *Main competitive advantages of Taiwanese die/mold industry include quick production speed and excellent quality. Taiwan is second to Japan in Asia. The complete and flexible production system of Taiwanese mold & die industry is the target to be followed by other countries. In average, the price of Taiwanese mold & die is about 70% of that of Japan, while Mainland China is about 70% of Taiwan and South Korea is about 90% of Taiwan. *The import unit price of Taiwanese die/mold is 2~3 times of export unit price, indicating the technical level is required to be upgraded. *Taiwan has 3,500 mold & die manufacturers. In terms of technical level, less than 10 manufacturers can be classified as ultra-precision level (with size precision ±1μm), under 100 manufacturers can be listed as precision level (with size precision ±3μm). Regular mold & die facing the competition from Mainland China, Korea and South East Asia, its capabilities require to upgrade. *As product requires higher and higher precision, the domestic mold & die technology is not sufficient to meet the requirements so that the imported components & parts exceed NT$200 billion per year.

  21. Problems Faced by Domestic Mold & Die Industry *The average number of employee for domestic mold & die industry is 12 persons. It relies on passing experience. It has weak theoretical base and insufficient R&D capabilities. *Transformation of Taiwanese product manufacturer is focused on R&D. In the development stage, die/mold is developed in Taiwan and is relocated to low cost area in mass production stage. Die/Mold manufacturer must enhance innovative R&D capabilities, basic technology, and talented people (Otherwise 40% of manufacturers, about 1,400 makers, is estimated to withdraw from market). *Some system manufacturers sets up its own die/mold shop as domestic die/mold makers are not equipped with the development capabilities. However, they also face the same problems, including the upgrading of basic technology, knowledge and talents. * The capability in basic research to facilitate the development of die/mold technology becomes weaker and weaker in educational and research systems. The number of department, professor and graduate student to be dedicated to study of Ph. D and master thesis as well as B.S. program are gradually decreased.

  22. Problems Faced by Domestic Die/Mold Industry—Can’t do or Won’t do *Ultra precision die/mold (dimensional precision ±1μm, V level) must be comprehensively upgraded from material, equipment, manufacturing process and inspection. →Domestic die/mold industry has the difficulty to establish R&D by itself. →MIRDC takes the leading role to invest and work with other academic & research institutes for joint R&D. *The basic technical data for precision die/mold (precision ±3μm, IV level) are not sufficient so the development time is too long and the cost cannot be controlled. *The establishment of basic technology, sponsored by government, will prevalently increase the assurance for development, shorten the development schedule, increase the development willingness and further facilitate the overall industrial upgrading.

  23. 4. Strategies for A+ Die/Mold Technology Develop the basic common technology for A+ die/mold to upgrade the domestic die/mold industry. Definition of A+ die/mold: ● Precision requirements: -- Precision level (IV level): ≦± 3μ m -- Ultra-precision (V level): ≦±1μ m ● Long life span ● High product yield rate: easy for use and maintenance • High product complexity: 3D profile or compound machining • Short delivery: delivery accuracy 95%

  24. Development Strategy of Die/Mold Technology Micro Die/Mold Project Break through technical bottleneck Provide common lab. and assist the development Common/Basic Technology Research Optical, MEMS V ultra precision level Dimensional precision under 1 μm 10 makers VI ultra precision level Dimensional preciison under 3μm Collaborative Development Platform Auto, 3C 100 makers Knowledge database Manpower cultivation Ⅲ secondary precision level Provide JDM environment Bring about rapid upgrading of overall capabilities Dimensional precision 3~10μm 200 makers Home Appliance Ⅱgeneral level 10~20μm Case Consultation 3000 makers Daily Goods I cheap level Total 3,500 makers

  25. Development Strategy of Common/Basic Die/Mold Technology for A+ Die/Mold

  26.

Introduce foreign advanced technologies and facilitate them to be localized ※15-20% of annual budget is used to conduct the industrial & academic cooperation and international cooperation

  27. Strategy of Establishing Common/Basic Technology for Precision Die/Mold (Cont.) Academic sector: Set up localized knowledge and conduct manpower cultivation 1. Analysis and comparison of domestic & foreign mold & die machining and the related forming theoretical models 2. Practicability analysis and comparison for localization 3. R&D of applicable theoretical models for localization 4. Conduct long-term cooperation with non-profit organizations, set up focus research capabilities and become long-term R&D and service partner Stamping die, forging die, material and heat treatment have been identified with specific manufacturers to discuss the details. The cooperative targets of injection mold, die casting mold, machining, inspection and knowledge database are still under discussion.

  28. Strategy of Establishing Common/Basic Technology for Precision Die/Mold (Cont.) Industrial sector: Provide technical information and verification services 1. Participate R&D led by institution with target on suppliers and equipment makers, such as machine tool maker, tooling factory, heat treatment plant, material manufacturer and software company. 2. Manufacturers actively provide their related technical information or corporation technology development program formulates the topics to locate the manufacturers to conduct the cooperative research. 3. Research results are included in knowledge database for public sharing. 4. If the industry, actually develops mold & die, is willing to share the results publicly, then joins the R&D of institution, otherwise conducts the related technical development through industrial technology development program.

  29. Cooperation of Industry, Academic and Research Sectors for Ultra Precision Level Die/Mold Equipment makers System Makers Other Institutions • 設備開發建置 MIRDC Design Co. (Design Dept.)
