When the product design changes, can the motor progressive die be partially adjusted or redesigned?

When there are changes in product design, the motor progressive die can be partially adjusted or redesigned according to specific circumstances to adapt to new product requirements. The following is a point by point introduction:
1. The possibility of partial adjustment
If the design changes of the product are small (such as slight changes in hole size, fine adjustments in stamping sequence, or slight changes in material thickness), it can be adapted by adjusting individual workstations in the mold, modifying the shape of the punch or die, without the need to replace the mold as a whole.
If adjustment space is reserved or modular design is adopted in the mold structure, some adjustments will be more convenient and cost-effective.

2. The necessity of redesign
If there is a significant change in the product structure, such as adding new functional structures, changing the external contour or process flow, the original mold may not be able to meet the new requirements. In this case, a large-scale redesign of the mold is required, and even a new mold needs to be manufactured.
Especially for progressive molds that involve the collaborative work of multiple processes, once a fundamental change occurs in one process, it will affect the coordination of the entire process, and the mold layout and structure must be systematically reassessed.

3. Impact on production rhythm
Both partial adjustments and redesigns require downtime for mold modification and debugging, which may have a certain impact on production progress.
To reduce production downtime, companies usually conduct product change assessments in advance and develop mold adjustment plans.

4. Technical and cost considerations
Partial adjustments have relatively low costs and are suitable for minor design changes.
Redesigning is costly and time-consuming, but it is suitable for major product upgrades or cross model production conversions.

5. Suggested measures
Conduct mold compatibility assessment in the early stages of product development to ensure that the mold design is as compatible as possible with potential future changes.
Adopting modular and standardized mold design methods to improve the efficiency of adjustment and reconstruction.
