SERVICE SCOPE & CAPABILITIES

Mold Repair and Maintenance Services We Provide

Four standard in-house repair categories for injection molds, stamping dies and die casting dies β€” each with documented turnaround so you can plan production downtime.

WEAR REPAIR

Wear & Erosion Repair

  • Build-up welding of eroded parting lines and shut-off surfaces
  • Re-grinding guide pillars, bushings and slide gibs to drawing tolerance
  • Dimensional restoration of worn cores, inserts and cavity edges
  • Clearance re-fit on worn ejector and core pin holes

PIN REPLACEMENT

Ejector & Core Pin Replacement

  • Replacement ejector pins and core pins matched to original geometry
  • Guide pin and bushing renewal with alignment verification
  • Lap fitting of replacement pins to maintain ejection parallelism
  • Sleeve and return pin replacement for consistent cycle performance

CAVITY WELDING

Cavity & Core Welding Repair

  • TIG and laser welding with tool steel matched to the base grade
  • Crack repair on cores, cavities and thin-walled inserts
  • Stress relief and re-hardening to restore original hardness (48–52 HRC typical)
  • EDM re-cutting and CNC re-machining of welded geometry

POLISHING & REFURBISHMENT

Surface Restoration & Refurbishment

  • Mirror polishing to Ra 0.02 Β΅m (SPI A2 or better)
  • Texture and grain renewal on visible surfaces
  • Coating refurbishment (TiN, CrN, DLC) for wear protection
  • Full mold overhaul with preventive maintenance program

INSPECTION & DIAGNOSIS

Root-Cause Diagnosis Before Any Repair

We inspect and diagnose the failure before touching the mold β€” so the repair addresses the root cause, not just the visible damage.

Inspection & Failure Analysis

Visual & Dimensional Inspection

Full mold inspection with photos, dimensional checks against the original drawing and wear measurement on critical surfaces.

Crack & Defect Detection

Crack location and depth mapping, including cooling-channel proximity checks before any welding is planned.

Hardness & Material Verification

Hardness testing of the damaged zone and base steel to select the correct filler grade and heat treatment.

Repair Feasibility Report

A written diagnosis with the recommended repair method, expected tool life after repair and a fixed quotation.

Can you repair cracked mold cavities?

Yes. Cracks are evaluated, welded with matching tool steel, re-machined and heat-treated to restore properties, then verified by CMM.

How fast is emergency repair?

Urgent repairs are prioritized; many common repairs (pin replacement, re-polish) turn around in 3–5 days.

Do you offer preventive maintenance?

Yes β€” scheduled inspection and maintenance programs for production mold fleets, with condition reports and recommendations.

Can you restore the original surface finish?

Yes. Mirror polish to Ra 0.02, texture renewal and coating refurbishment are all part of our restoration service.

Do you repair dies from other manufacturers?

Yes β€” we repair and rebuild molds and dies regardless of original manufacturer.

Do you provide a written report after each repair?

Yes β€” every job returns with a structured report: diagnosis photos, filler and heat treatment used, CMM verification of critical dimensions and a prevention recommendation, keeping your mold history traceable for audits and PPAP.

Can you work around our production schedule?

Yes. Emergency repairs are prioritized for production-critical molds, and PM contracts can be scheduled during planned downtime so maintenance never stops your line.
