Case Study: The DC1317 CNC Milling Machine Revolutionizes Large - Scale Plastic Mold Production

In the highly competitive field of plastic mold manufacturing, the ability to produce large - scale molds efficiently is a key factor in a company's success. This case study delves into how the DC1317 CNC milling machine for plastic mold manufacturing has provided a high - efficiency upgrade for large - scale mold production.

The Customer's Dilemma

A leading plastic mold manufacturer was facing significant challenges in large - scale mold production. Their existing equipment struggled with long processing times, low precision, and high failure rates when dealing with large and heavy molds. The company needed to find a solution that could handle large workpieces, reduce production time, and improve the overall quality of the molds.

The DC1317: A Tailor - Made Solution

The DC1317, a large double - column CNC milling center, was introduced to address these issues. It is specifically designed for large and heavy molds, boasting several remarkable features:

• Smooth Transmission: The DC1317 uses advanced transmission systems that ensure stable and accurate movement during the machining process. This reduces vibrations and improves the surface finish of the molds. For example, in the actual production process, the smooth transmission can reduce the surface roughness of the mold from Ra 6.3μm to Ra 3.2μm, greatly improving the quality of the mold.
• High Rigidity: With a high - rigidity structure, the machine can withstand large cutting forces without deformation. This is crucial for maintaining precision during heavy - duty machining. In some extreme machining scenarios, the DC1317 can maintain a positioning accuracy of ±0.005mm, which is much higher than industry standards.
• Heavy - Duty Body: The heavy - duty body provides excellent stability, reducing the impact of external factors on the machining process. It can support large - size workpieces up to 3 tons, making it suitable for a wide range of large - scale mold production.
• Large Stroke: The large stroke allows for the machining of larger molds in one setup, eliminating the need for multiple setups and reducing production time. The X - axis stroke of the DC1317 can reach up to 1300mm, and the Y - axis stroke can reach 1700mm, providing sufficient space for large - scale mold machining.

Processing Data and Success Stories

After implementing the DC1317, the customer experienced a significant improvement in production efficiency. The processing time for large - scale molds was reduced by up to 40%, and the defect rate decreased from 8% to less than 2%. One particular project, which originally took 10 days to complete, was finished in just 6 days with the DC1317, saving a substantial amount of time and cost for the customer.

Comparison with Other Products in the Market

As shown in the table, the DC1317 outperforms its competitors in multiple aspects, making it a more reliable choice for large - scale mold production.
