Glass Mold FAQ Section
Q: What maintenance is required for glass molds?
A: Regular maintenance for glass molds includes periodic cleaning to remove glass residue, inspection for surface wear, and lubrication of moving parts. We recommend thermal cycling checks every 50,000 cycles and professional refurbishment after 200,000 cycles to maintain optimal performance.
Q: How do I choose the right glass mold for my production needs?
A: Selection depends on several factors: production volume (low/high), glass type (soda-lime/borosilicate), product complexity, and budget. Our GM-200 series suits small-scale operations, while GM-500 is ideal for mass production. Consult our engineers for specific recommendations based on your requirements.

Glass Mold FAQ Section
Q: What's the lead time for custom glass molds?
A: Standard lead time is 6-8 weeks for custom glass molds, depending on complexity. Simple designs may be completed in 4 weeks, while intricate patterns requiring multiple cavities may take up to 12 weeks. We offer expedited services (additional cost) for urgent projects with 2-3 week turnaround.
Quality Assurance Process
| Stage | Inspection Method | Tolerance Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Material Verification | Spectrometer Analysis | ASTM A681 |
| Precision Machining | 3D Coordinate Measurement | ISO 2768-mK |
| Heat Treatment | Hardness Testing | HRC 48-52 |
| Final Inspection | Dimensional & Visual Check | ±0.01mm |
Glass Mold FAQ Section
Q: Can existing glass molds be retrofitted for new designs?
A> Yes, many glass molds can be modified for new designs, depending on the original construction and required changes. Simple pattern changes typically cost 30-50% of a new mold. Our engineers evaluate each case individually, considering factors like core modifications, cavity alterations, and compatibility with existing systems.
