Whether the tool used is suitable depends not only on the unit price, service time and renewal frequency of the tool, but also on the value created by the tool in unit time.
For the mold processing industry, the concept of a new generation of machine tools and cutting tools has completed research and development, is entering the stage of practical production and application, and has a far-reaching impact on the entire mold manufacturing industry. As a manufacturing enterprise producing molds, sometimes it doesn't have to passively accept the common cutting tools in the market around it. Instead, it can actively introduce new cutting tool technology through cooperation with cutting tool suppliers and find cutting tools suitable for its own processing type to improve the production process, improve the processing quality and improve the processing efficiency.
Process of introducing tool technology
The process of mold manufacturing enterprises investing in the introduction of new tool technology is not as complex as expected. Mold manufacturing enterprises only need to establish cooperative relations with tool manufacturers and their professional technicians. Tool experts are usually exposed to a large number of machining examples, and have accumulated rich experience in which kind of machining is suitable for what kind of tools to use, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of common and uncommon tool types. According to the processing needs of enterprises, combined with the latest tool design and production concepts, they can recommend the most handy processing tools for enterprises.
Tool introduction cost
For the introduction of new tool technology, mold manufacturing enterprises are probably most worried about the introduction cost of tools. As long as it is done properly, the introduction of new tools will increase the cost on the surface, but in fact, on the contrary, it can play a great role in saving tool costs. Because the cutting tools developed with the latest technology can provide processing solutions with higher efficiency and better economy.
By applying the latest cemented carbide blade pressing technology, tools and blades with more cutting edges and higher strength can be produced, so as to make better use of cemented carbide materials. Such cutters usually have a longer service life and can produce greater value per unit time. Taken together, this is a good deal.
Import tool application example
The processing material of a mold manufacturer is annealed aisi/sae 4140 low alloy steel mold. In the process of tying up the rough machining die base plate, slope milling and groove milling are required to carry out heavy-duty rough milling on the workpiece. The existing cutting tools in the market can not achieve the desired processing effect, so businesses seek solutions from a cutting tool supplier.
After analyzing the machining process, the tool supplier recommended a sleeve milling cutter specially designed for rapid metal cutting as a possible solution. This kind of cutter has the advantages of short installation time, long service life and high feed rate, which is suitable for rough milling. The geometric structure of the large circular arc cutting edge enables the tool to achieve high feed machining even when each tooth bears a large chip load. At the same time, the bottom of the blade can be firmly clamped in the fitting hole of the cutter base to increase the maximum cutting force that can be borne.
After this kind of tool is assembled, it can not only mill at an unconventional feed rate, improve the metal removal rate, but also improve the processing stability and the completion efficiency of processing projects. The reduction of working hours enables the workshop to have enough production capacity to accept more additional processing tasks, and the investment of enterprises in introducing new technologies quickly brings several times the income.
