Exploring Yingstda's Mould Engraving Machine: A Precision Journey for Copper and Aluminum Mold Engraving
In the industrial manufacturing sector, molds are the core "genes" that shape product forms, and mould engraving machines are the key tools that breathe life into these "genes". Yingstda Intelligent Technology's **Mould engraving machine** has become an industry benchmark for engraving metal molds such as copper and aluminum, thanks to its exceptional precision and efficiency. This article takes you into its technological world to analyze how this equipment transforms metal raw materials into precise molds.
I. From Raw Materials to Molds: The Core Mission of Engraving Machines
The birth of a mold begins with the **raw material machine** for preliminary processing of metal plates, but what gives the mold its complex structure and high precision is the "engraving magic" of the **engraving machine**. Designed for the characteristics of soft metals like copper and aluminum, Yingstda's **Mould engraving machine** uses a multi-axis CNC system to complete cutting, milling, drilling, and other operations with micron-level precision.
- Copper Mold Engraving
Due to its good electrical conductivity and machinability, copper is often used in molds for electronic components and bathroom fixtures. Yingstda's engraving machine uses a high-frequency spindle (rotating speed up to 24,000rpm) with diamond-coated tools to quickly engrave precise circuit grooves or curved contours, with an error control of ±0.005mm. For example, in the mold for new energy vehicle battery connectors, the engraving machine can carve dozens of micron-level conductive paths on the copper mold to ensure stable current transmission.
- **Aluminum Mold Engraving**:
Aluminum alloy is widely used in aerospace and 3C product molds due to its light weight and corrosion resistance. Aiming at the low melting point of aluminum, Yingstda's equipment is equipped with an intelligent cooling system that uses spray-type cutting fluid for temperature control (temperature difference controlled within ±2℃) to avoid metal deformation caused by high temperatures. In the engraving of mobile phone case aluminum molds, it can complete the processing of multiple structures such as frame arcs, button grooves, and heat dissipation holes in one go, increasing efficiency by 40% compared to traditional processes.
II. Yingstda Engraving Machine: A Precision Revolution Driven by Technology
1. Five-Axis Linkage, Breaking Geometric Limits
Traditional three-axis engraving machines struggle to handle complex curved surfaces, but Yingstda's **Mould engraving machine** can achieve360° dead angle without engraving (dead angle without engraving) with its five-axis linkage technology (X/Y/Z linear axes + A/C rotating axes). Taking car wheel hub aluminum molds as an example, the engraving machine can simultaneously control the tool to feed along the normal direction of the hub's curved surface, accurately carving three-dimensional relief patterns on the spokes without multiple clampings, improving precision by 60%.
2. Intelligent Programming, Simplifying Operational Thresholds
Through supporting CAD/CAM software, engineers only need to import 3D models, and the system can automatically generate engraving paths and intelligently optimize tool trajectories (such as clearance and chamfer processing). Even novice operators can monitor the engraving process through a visual interface, reducing manual programming errors. After a bathroom enterprise used this equipment, the programming time for copper mold engraving was shortened from 8 hours to 2 hours, and the mold trial success rate increased from 70% to 95%.
3. Full Closed-Loop Control, Ensuring Stable Output
The equipment is equipped with a Renishaw grating scale full closed-loop feedback system that real-time monitors worktable displacement errors and dynamically compensates them through the CNC system. When continuously engraving multiple sets of aluminum molds, the dimensional deviation between the first and last pieces can be controlled within 0.01mm, meeting the consistency requirements of mass production.
III. Application Scenarios: Unlocking Diverse Possibilities of Copper and Aluminum Molds
