There has been going on a discussion regarding SPI Class mold interpretation. There is one mold built and running in China. Chinese supplirs calls for the mold already run 125k shots in a SPI Class mold 103. This class is good for less than 500k shots. According to my experience I should get at least, 495k shots before mold has problems. Nevertheless, somebody says that if this mold class 103 runs 100k, supplier is honoring the warranty. Where can I get a good explanation or interpretation on SPI mold classes? F+

Actually, the SPI-03 is designed for product 200K to 500K, the mold quality is passed if you did not require.

There is a way to tell in the guy is torturing your mold to death.
If it's built to the proper SPI standards (the SPI class is really a shortened version of tooling stds.) so long as he doesn't kill it, it will last forever.
The SPI Class isn't a guarantee the mold will run as long as specified. Unless you specified "SPI class XXX mold to run a minimum of YYY" technically you don't have a leg to stand on.
Since your molder is in China and you aren't; it really doesn't matter. If the mold dies prematurely what are you going to do? Sue him? In what court?
And that, boys and girls. is the problem with any 'good deal': It's only good until it isn't. In this case if the tool is allegedly dead in 50K shots and he wants another $10,000 to re-build it . . . . After the Screaming and Yelling is done, go to the buyer who placed the job because it was such a bargain, put him on a plane and let him 'enjoy the savings' while he fixes the mold.
Good Luck

I demand at least 496K shots. Now I have a VW with 52,000 miles and a 50K warranty and they fixed a problem. A good company can do that.
