Seven points that need to improve the performance of mold processing equipment

As people's requirements for product manufacturing become higher and higher, new product development cycles are getting shorter, mold manufacturing is facing more and more severe challenges, and the importance of mold processing efficiency and speed is becoming increasingly prominent. Based on mold manufacturing capabilities, mold processing equipment should further improve performance.

Seven points that need to improve the performance of mold processing equipment

1.The increasing size of mold forming parts and the high productivity of parts require a mold with multiple cavities, which has led to the increasing size of molds.Large tonnage large molds can reach 100 tons, a mold with hundreds of cavities and thousands of cavities. Large worktable, increased Y-axis and Z-axis travel, large load bearing, high rigidity, and high consistency.

2. The hardness of the mold steel material for mold processing is high, and the mold processing equipment is required to have thermal stability and high reliability.

3. For complex cavities and multifunctional composite molds, as the shape of the product becomes more complicated, the design and manufacturing level of the mold must be improved. Multiple grooves and multiple materials are formed or assembled into components in a set of molds. Functional composite molds require a large number of processing programming programs, comprehensive cutting capabilities and high stability for high-depth holes, which increases the difficulty of processing.

4. The refinement of mold processing makes the complexness and efficiency of processing equipment more attractive. High-speed milling has many advantages such as the ability to process hard materials, stable processing, small cutting force, and small temperature rise and deformation of workpieces, which make mold companies pay more and more attention to high-speed processing.

5. High dynamic accuracy. The static performance (such as repeated positioning accuracy and linear feed speed) introduced by the machine tool manufacturer cannot reflect the actual processing situation when the three-dimensional mold surface is processed. The high-precision machining of the three-dimensional surface of the mold also requires the high dynamic accuracy performance. High speed and high precision can only be achieved by the combination of high rigidity, thermal stability, high reliability and high quality control system of the machine tool.

6. The combination of processing technology and green product technology will be taken into consideration when the enterprise purchases equipment. The radiation and medium selection of electric processing machine tools will be factors affecting safety and environmental protection. EDM milling technology will be developed in the future mold processing field.

7. The composite application of multiple measurement technologies, high-speed measurement and its reverse engineering have become the development direction of promoting mold participation in product development and design technology.
