Why we use Thermal Insulation Boards in mold
The rubber, plastics and wood panel industries work with heated tooling when material is pressed directly between hot platens. […]
We should establish a set of mold safety standard
The following are some of the mold safety issues that you will be addressing in developing this standard: 1) Mold Mounted Guards: In the event a mold has components that could be potentially hazardous when the machine’s operator gate is open or has components that extend beyond the guarding of the machine, guarding attached to [...]
Understand the requirement of Thermal Insulation Boards
Thermal Load StabilityOxidizing decay of organic components in thermal insulation boards increases with rising temperatures. Continuous thermal load is defined by the temperature at which the application of a particular grade can be technically and economically justified, so that the lifetime will extend to several years. […]
EDM is getting important in china mold industry
A number of recent EDM developments offer significant solutions to obstacles facing the moldmaking industry in the millennium. […]
How to Milling Graphite with End Mills
The same general practices of machine tool maintenance, fixturing and rigidity of tool setup recommended for turning apply equally well for milling. Short tool extensions and properly adjusted machine tools are essential to good performance. […]
How to Milling Graphite with Inserted Cutters
Most information for turning graphite applies to milling with inserted cutters. Disposable inserts with a 1/64″ or 1/32″ nose radius are most effectively employed for milling graphite. A positive rake insert is recommended. Cutting fluids and/or coolants are not recommended. Adequate and well-maintained fixturing, rigid tool set-up and well-adjusted machine tools always provide superior results. [...]
How to Turning and Machining Graphite
Disposable inserts with a 1/64- to 1/32-inch nose radius are most effectively employed for turning graphite. A positive rake insert without a chip control groove is preferred. Cutting fluids and/or coolants are not recommended. Adequate and well-maintained fixturing, rigid tool setup and well-adjusted machine tools always provide superior results. When machining long rods and cylinders, [...]
How to do a successful hard part milling
Machining hardened stock isn’t for the faint of heart, but many alert shops have figured out how. In fact, some are running steels up to Rc 60 four or five times faster—even in cavity work. Others have even found a way to mill the hard stuff on light-duty machines using conventional end milling, [...]
How to do a Business Continuity Plan
According to Steven, President of First-rate mold Solution company, key elements of a business continuity plan should include: […]
Reunderstand Aluminium Tooling
Mistakes have always been around: the world is flat and the sun revolves around the earth— to name a few. The world of manufacturing is no different with its own false beliefs. Today we have the mistakes that aluminum tooling is “junk tooling or for prototypes only”. […]
