Seven Aspects of Mold Processing Equipment that Improve Processing Performance

Mold processing equipment needs to improve processing performance, mainly reflected in:
1. The increasing size of mold forming parts and the high production rate requirements necessitate multiple cavities in a single mold, leading to larger molds. Large molds with a tonnage of up to 100 tons, with hundreds or thousands of cavities in a single mold, require mold processing equipment with a large worktable, increased Y-axis and Z-axis travel, high load capacity, high rigidity, and high consistency.
2. The high hardness of mold steel materials used in mold processing requires mold processing equipment to have thermal stability and high reliability.
3. For complex cavities and multifunctional composite molds, as the shapes of the parts become more complex, it is necessary to improve the design and manufacturing level of molds. Multifunctional composite molds that form or assemble components with various grooves and materials in a single mold require a large amount of processing programming, high comprehensive cutting capability for deep cavities, and high stability, which increases processing difficulty.
4. The refinement of mold processing makes the complexity of processing equipment more noteworthy. The advantages of high-speed milling, such as the ability to process high-hardness steel, stable processing, low cutting force, and minimal workpiece thermal deformation, have led mold enterprises to increasingly focus on high-speed processing.
5. High dynamic precision. The static performance introduced by machine tool manufacturers (such as repeat positioning accuracy and linear feed speed) cannot reflect the actual processing situation during the three-dimensional surface processing of molds. The high-precision processing of three-dimensional surfaces of molds further raises the requirements for high dynamic precision performance. High-speed and high-precision processing can only be achieved in conjunction with the machine tool's high rigidity, thermal stability, high reliability, and high-quality control systems.
6. The combination of processing technology and green product technology will be included in the consideration when enterprises purchase equipment. The radiation of electrical processing machines and the selection of media will be factors affecting safety and steel materials. Electrical steel milling technology will develop in the future mold processing field.
7. The composite application of various measurement technologies, high-speed measurement, and reverse engineering has become the direction for promoting molds' participation in product development and design technology.
