What are the commonly used mechanical processing equipment for plastic molds?

date：2023/08/18

Mechanical processing equipment commonly used in plastic molds include lathes, grinders, EDMs, wire cutting machines, milling machines, and CNC milling machines.

lathe
Lathes are machine tools that use turning tools to turn rotating workpieces. On the lathe, drills, reamers, reamers, taps, die and knurling tools can also be used for corresponding processing.
grinder
Most grinding machines use high-speed rotating grinding wheels for grinding, while a few use whetstones, abrasive belts and other abrasive tools and free abrasives for processing, such as honing machines, super-finishing machine tools, belt grinding machines, grinding machines and polishing. Machine etc.
EDM
EDM is widely used in the manufacture of various metal molds and mechanical equipment. EDM is a special processing method that uses electrical erosion generated by impulse discharge between two electrodes immersed in the working fluid to etch conductive materials, also known as electrical discharge machining or electrical erosion machining.
Wire cutting machine
Wire cutting machine can cut materials, such as high strength, high toughness, high hardness, high brittleness, magnetic materials, as well as precision small and complex shape parts. Wire cutting technology and wire cutting machine tools are widely used in various industries.
Milling machine
In addition to milling planes, grooves, gear teeth, threads and spline shafts, milling machines can also process more complex profiles, with higher efficiency than planers, and are widely used in machinery manufacturing and repair departments.
CNC milling machine
CNC milling machine is an automatic processing equipment developed on the basis of general milling machine. The processing technology of the two is basically the same and the structure is also somewhat similar. CNC milling machines are divided into two categories: no tool magazine and tool magazine. The CNC milling machine with tool magazine is also called machining center.
