Typical Parts
Materials
P20 is one of the most commonly used plastic mold steels. It offers good machinability, excellent polishing performance and stable hardness.
H13 is widely used for die casting molds. It provides high hardness, excellent wear resistance and outstanding thermal stability.
NAK80 is a pre-hardened mold steel suitable for precision molds, with excellent surface finish, easy polishing and good dimensional stability.
S136 is widely used in medical and optical molds, offering corrosion resistance, mirror finish capability and high precision machining.
Industry Challenges
Modern molds often contain freeform surfaces, deep cavities and complex 3D geometries. Traditional machining methods struggle to maintain accuracy and efficiency.
High speed spindle, high rigidity machine structure, precision guideways and advanced CNC control system.
Mold steels such as H13 and S136 are difficult to machine. Tool wear, heat generation and vibration can affect machining quality.
High torque spindle, stable machine structure, optimized coolant system and precision ball screw system.
High-end molds require mirror-like surface quality. Surface waviness, tool marks and dimensional deviation must be controlled.
High precision spindle, stable feed control, thermal compensation and high-speed finishing capability.
Mold manufacturing often requires continuous machining for many hours, which can cause thermal deformation, stability issues and reduced machining consistency.
