近年來隨著材料科技的進步,以金屬粉末為原料,經過材料混合、沖壓成型、燒結、再加工等程序所發展的粉末冶金工業正茁壯成長,其用途廣泛將是金屬工業未來發展的重點。模具是粉末冶金工業發展的關鍵技術之一,模具之特質為少量多樣、精密度要求高,屬於訂單生產形態,為產品量產過程中不可或缺的技術與工具。一旦模具在量產過程中損壞或待料,將嚴重的影響產品的製造生產,如何快速的開發製造一套價廉質精的新模具以及在短時間內簡易做好模具故障維修,讓生產能順暢運作,是企業普遍存在的問題。 本研究建構兩階段的運作架構,以解決在求新求變的市場需求下,縮短模具的開發製造時程以及簡易維修故障的模具。第一階段運用模組化的理念,收集數量龐大、種類繁雜、機能各異的模具組件加以歸納,遵循模組化設計原則,以模具的機能屬性分類法來設計模組。其次以構造單元拆解要領之技巧,將模組之組件,拆解設計後推導出符合實務應用的各式標準構造單元規格之尺寸表,完成模具模組化設計。第二階段應用標準構造單元規格來開發製造新模具,依據實務應用的九個流程步驟,循序漸進的協助粉末冶金產業建構出符合生產需求的彈性化模具,達到縮短模具整體設計製造的交期與簡易模具維修之功效。
Along with the progression of the materials technology in recent years, the powder metallurgy industry, which is developed by the procedures such as materials mixing, stamping processing, sintering and more processing, is growing continually. Its wide range of purpose is the future developing point of metal industry. Die is one of the key technologies in the development of powder metallurgy processing industry. The characteristics of the die are less quantity and more varieties, the requirement for the precision is higher, and it is a make-to-order type, which has become a technology and tool it cannot go without in the mass production process. Once the die is damaged or short in the process of mass production, it will have serious impact on the manufacturing of the products. How to create a new die that is more economical and easy to repair in a short time once it breaks down, and to help the production process to operate smoothly is the issue widely existed among the businesses. This research constructs two stages of operational structure to shorten the time spent developing the die and make the ones that are easy to repair under the demand of this constant changing market. The idea of using modularity in the first stage is to collect and classify the large amount of die with varieties and different functions, following the principle of modularized design to design the module according to function attribute of the die. Next, using unit disassembly technique to disassemble the parts of the die and develop the size chart that meets standard of all unit specifications and complete the die with modularized design. In the second stage, the new die is developed by the standard unit specification according to nine practical procedures to assist the powder metallurgy industry, and to build flexible die that meets the production needs, and to achieve the effects of shortening the delivery time of the die’s overall production and making it easy to maintain.
