Mould is an important part of manufacturing industry. It is widely used in the manufacturing of all kinds of products. In the process of mould making, a lot of precision mechanical equipment is need to be used to ensure the accuracy and impeccability of the mould. In this article, we are going to talk about some common engineering machinery in mould making.
1.CNC Machining Center
CNC machining center is a kind of high-efficiency, high-precision automated production equipment. It is mainly used for processing of difficult and complex parts, and it has great advantages in complex geometry machining. In the process of mould making, CNC machining center can be used to accurately process various mould parts, such as various carvings, etc.
2.High-speed Drilling Machine
High-speed drilling machine is a kind of equipment for drilling deep holes. It can be used to process mould plates and core plates to make the pins and sliders for the mould and the connecting pins for the cavity. This machine can efficiently process all kinds of precision holes and quickly complete the drilling process.
3.Grinding Machine
Grinding machine is mainly used to grind various parts of parts. In the process of mould making, it can be used to process various complex shapes such as all kinds of carvings and curves. After the surface of the mould is processed by this machine, the surface will be relatively flat and smooth.
4.Computerized Coordinate Measuring Machine
Computerized coordinate measuring machine is a precision instrument used to measure the size, shape and position of the product, which can accurately measure and judge the quality of the mould. The measured results can be quickly and accurately output in the form of graphs, which is of great help to the accuracy of the mould.
5.Milling Machine
Milling machine is a kind of equipment used to process plates. In the process of mould making, it can be used to process various complex shapes of mould parts and quickly complete the process of making die components.
6.EDM Machine
EDM machine is a kind of equipment which uses electric spark erosion to process metal materials. This machine can be used to quickly and accurately process various complex shapes. In the process of mould making, this machine is mainly used to make the cavities of the moulds.
7.Surface Grinding Machine
Surface grinding machine is also known as planer grinder, a kind of equipment used to process the surface of parts. In the process of mould making, it can be used to grind the mating surface of the mould after the parts are processed with planer milling machine and EDM Machine, so that the mating surface is more accurate and the mould can be well matched with other parts.
8.Line Cutting Machine
Line cutting machine is a kind of equipment used to process complicated curved surface dies. This machine can be used to quickly process various curved surfaces and complex graphics on the die components, so that the die components can be quickly and accurately finished.
These are some common engineering machinery used in mould making. Of course, there are many other precision machinery used in mould making. In general, the use of these engineering machinery can greatly improve the processing accuracy and quality of mould making, and greatly shorten the time of making mould.
