Some Possible Problems With Date Inserts

    Manufacturers of date inserts start to have problems when months, days, shifts, or hours are marked. Often, operators responsible for manually changing traditional date stamps have difficulty seeing where the stamp needs to be rotated. If they miss the mark and the stamp shapes incorrect data, the part may become useless.
    Also, stopping the press every hour also stops production. Manufacturers need to keep their machines producing parts, not sitting idle while hourly maintenance is performed. These issues can now be easily avoided by automating the process and using a reliable date system that allows the press to continue running while providing accurate, real-time information.
     Another complication found was deep cavity mold. Parts molded too deep in the mold for a screwdriver to reach and turn a manual date stamp presented a real challenge for the mold maker. What's more, oversized molds present equally daunting challenges. If the date stamp is not accessible from the floor, it probably means that unnecessary time was wasted figuring out ways to change the date stamp information. If these facilities could automatically change their records, their problems would be solved.
