With the completeness of the CATIA product portfolio and the easy-to-use knowledge-based CATIA V5 architecture, CATIA V5 machining solutions exceed the capabilities of all existing machining applications. Some of the highlights include: […]
When it comes to molding very small threaded plastic parts, including those with undercuts or straight walls, size does matter—but not as much as it used to. […]
This creates craters in both electrodes, the size of which are related to the energy of the spark. Thus, a distinction is drawn between roughing with high impulse energy and planning. […]
modern tooling machines for mold making generally feature multiaxial CNC controls and highly accurate positioning systems. the result is higher accuracy and greater efficiency against rejects. […]
competition has recently developed between high-speed cutting(HSC) and simultaneous five-axis milling. HSC is characterized by high cutting speeds and high spindle rotation speeds. Steel materials with hardness values of up to 62HRC can also be machined with contemporary standard HSC millers. Sometimes, HSC machining can be carried out as a complete machining so that the [...]
A look at non-destructive cleaning processes for complex molds that require the removal of tenacious surface contamination to ensure surface quality and longevity of precision mold and molded part surfaces. […]
so when we select a feeding system, what is the primary principle? I think it is to maintain the temperature and pressure as it flows out of the nozzle and fill out the cavity easily. Commonly, it prefers a “ short and thick” spure, runner, and gate. Other considerations are also given to the requirement [...]
on the other hand, it may lead to deformation, losing its dimensional accuracy. Highlight shell requires machining on both sides and thus requires high precision alignment of the workpiece on the machine table, […]
Needs analysis can be assessed in two ways: knowledge needs and skill needs. A knowledge needs assessment can be done informally by simply asking questions of your machinists that consist of what you consider to be the requisite knowledge they should have to do their job. […]
CNC users have long faced challenges with the most popular hardware platforms, largely because new hardware must retain some degree of interface and hardware compatibility with legacy systems, […]
