The mold market environment is good, helping the machine industry to advance

Molds are widely used in a range of fields such as industrial parts manufacturing. At present, the rapid growth of the mold business has provided some growth momentum for the machine tool industry. At the same time, due to the improvement of the technical requirements of the mold, the technical requirements for the machine tool are simultaneously improved.

As we all know, the mold is produced in a single piece, and has a specific user. The process characteristics are the design of participating products (mold parts), each piece of mold product is complex, the processing program is large, and the unit price is high.

In particular, in the manufacturing process, the mold needs to be innovated and modified according to the user's requirements. In the whole process of installation and debugging, it must be constantly modified and adjusted. The timely monitoring is extremely important, which is the mold processing equipment and measurement. The device has special requirements.

The current development direction of mold manufacturing is three-dimensional mold design, analysis and manufacturing; mold software function integration, network, intelligent; mold production without graphics; single-piece high-precision parallel processing; Processing. CNC machine tools are required to meet high speed, high dynamic precision, high rigidity, thermal stability and high reliability. The matching control system has individualized features. Various advanced softwares are open and compatible to the overall operation of the machine tool.

Mold market development needs for processing equipment

In a period of time, the mold industry's demand for mold processing equipment mainly includes the following varieties: CNC machining center, CNC milling and CNC copy milling machine, EDM machine, wire cutting machine, coordinate grinding machine, coordinate boring machine, boring and milling machine, forming grinding machine , optical curve grinder, band sawing machine, deep hole drilling, electrode processing machine, engraving machine, polishing machine, mold clamping machine, three coordinate measuring machine, scanner, mold standard parts processing machine, high performance heat treatment equipment, rapid prototyping equipment, Various tools and sharpeners, mold CAD, CAM, CAE, PDM and other software, computer workstations and microcomputers.

High-end molds promote the development of CNC

With the continuous development of advanced technologies such as concurrent engineering and reverse engineering in mold processing, mold processing has proposed digital transfer conversion, multi-axis linkage, high precision, high efficiency, high flexibility, automation and other requirements for CNC machine; High efficiency, low loss, high precision, mirror processing, EDM CNC milling and machining center requirements are put forward for electric machining equipment; high precision and high speed are proposed for the three coordinate measuring machine (measured in a certain time) ), easy to operate, with 3D scanning digital system, low-voltage contact and non-contact measurement, high flexibility and on-line measurement in the field, strong software functions. In short, mold processing equipment should enable mold companies to achieve high precision, high efficiency, high flexibility and even automated processing and try to meet the requirements of high quality, low cost, long life and short cycle of mold manufacturing.

Faced with the world's mold market, especially the high-end market, this promising big cake, China's mold machine tool enterprises urgently need to understand the latest changes in the market, aiming at the development status of the mold industry, researching and developing related mold machine tool products, seizing the market and broadening the space for its industry. In order to facilitate its healthy development in the future.

However, according to industry insiders, in a short period of time, due to the accumulation of high-end machine tools and the accumulation of technology in China, the situation of large-scale import of foreign high-end machine tools will not change. China’s dependence on high-end mold machine tools is still in the short term. Will continue.
