3. Core Advantages of Our Mold & Hardware Machining Solution

3.1 High Rigidity Body for Heavy & Hard Steel Cutting

Whole machine heavy stress-relieved cast iron bed & box-type cross rib structure, effectively resist vibration during long-hour hard steel milling

High-precision linear guide & C3 grade ball screw, stable positioning accuracy .

High-torque BT40/BT50 spindle, optional high-speed direct drive spindle can be choose.

3.2 One-Clamping Multi-Process Integrated Machining

Complete plane milling, cavity roughing & finishing, drilling, tapping, boring, chamfering, contour engraving in single clamping; 4/5-axis model supports multi-surface linkage machining, eliminate repeated alignment error, cut auxiliary processing time by over 40%.

3.3 Flexible Production for Multi-Variety Small & Medium Batches

Large-capacity automatic tool magazine (16/24/32 tools), fast tool change within 1.5s, quick switching between different mold & hardware workpieces

Pre-built machining subprogram library for common mold plates, standard mold parts and general hardware blocks, shorten operator programming time

Support single prototype trial piece and mass batch production, perfectly fit small mold workshops with frequent order model changes

3.4 Optional Full-Automatic Unmanned Production Configuration

For factories with heavy order backlog and tight delivery schedule:

Automatic tool changer + chip conveyor + oil mist collector: Continuous cutting without frequent manual cleaning

Automatic pallet changer: Double worktable alternate processing, no downtime during workpiece loading

Gantry robot loading & unloading: Realize 8–24 hours unattended machining, cut labor cost significantly

3.5 Stable & Low Maintenance Intelligent Control

Optional FANUC, SIEMENS, Syntec, GSK CNC systems with mold machining dedicated functions; thermal compensation system reduces thermal deformation during long-time operation, maintain consistent machining precision. Standardized spare parts worldwide, lower failure rate and maintenance cost.
