FAQ

Common questions about electronics CNC machining.

Which HYR-CNC machine is recommended for injection mold manufacturing?

Machine selection depends on part size, material, tolerance, surface finish and production volume. VMC850 and VMC1060 suit compact and general machining, while VMC1165, VMC1270 and VMC1580 are better for high precision, large molds and heavy cutting.

How can buyers confirm the right CNC machine configuration?

Buyers should provide drawings, material, tolerance, surface finish, annual quantity and fixture requirements. HYR-CNC can then recommend travel size, spindle, controller, tool magazine and inspection options.
