How can we effectively reduce the defect rate in large-scale mold machining? The high-precision CNC milling machine DC1520, with its 1500×2000×720mm three-axis travel design, ±0.01mm machining accuracy, and high-rigidity structure, significantly improves mold consistency and surface quality. This article details practical tips for reducing the waste rate and shortening the machining cycle in its actual application, helping enterprises achieve cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and quality improvement.

Addressing Industry Pain Points in Large-Scale Mold Machining

In the realm of large-scale mold manufacturing, the industry often grapples with significant challenges. One of the most pressing issues is the high rate of defective products. Due to insufficient equipment precision, large-sized molds frequently undergo batch rework or even end up being scrapped. This not only disrupts delivery schedules but also eats into profit margins. For instance, many companies find themselves facing delays in project hand - overs and incurring additional costs due to these quality issues.

Core Advantages of the High - Precision CNC Milling Machine DC1520

1. Large Three - Axis Travel

The DC1520 is designed with a three - axis travel of 1500×2000×720mm. This large travel range is perfectly suited to complex mold structures. It allows the machine to handle molds of various shapes and sizes, eliminating the need for multiple set - ups and reducing the chances of errors that can occur during repositioning. With this feature, the machine can easily accommodate large and intricate molds, ensuring a smooth machining process.

2. High Precision

Precision is the hallmark of the DC1520. It offers a machining accuracy of ±0.01mm, ensuring that the contour error of the mold is ≤0.01mm. This high level of precision is crucial for large - scale mold manufacturing, as it guarantees the consistency of the mold and significantly improves the surface quality. In practical applications, this precision means that the molds produced are more likely to meet the strict design requirements, reducing the likelihood of rejection.

3. High Rigidity

The high - rigidity structure of the DC1520 provides stable support for high - speed cutting. It can withstand the forces generated during high - speed machining, maintaining the stability of the cutting process. This stability is essential for ensuring the accuracy of the machining and preventing any deformation of the mold during the cutting process. As a result, the machine can achieve high - quality machining even at high speeds.

Practical Tips for Using the DC1520

1. Rational Tool Selection and Parameter Setting

Selecting the right cutting tools and setting appropriate parameters are key to reducing the defective rate. By choosing the correct tool based on the material of the mold and the machining requirements, and setting the optimal cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, the machining efficiency can be improved, and the quality of the mold can be enhanced. This approach helps to minimize the impact of human error on the machining process.

2. Constant Temperature Environment Management

Temperature fluctuations can have a significant impact on the machining accuracy of large - scale molds. By maintaining a constant temperature environment in the machining workshop, the thermal deformation of the machine and the mold can be minimized. This ensures that the machining accuracy is stable throughout the process, reducing the chances of defective products.

3. Use of Automatic Compensation Function

The DC1520 is equipped with an automatic compensation function. This function can automatically adjust the machining parameters based on the actual machining situation, compensating for any errors that may occur during the machining process. By using this function, the systematic reduction of human errors can be achieved, further improving the quality of the mold.

Quantifiable Benefits

A case study of a manufacturing enterprise shows the remarkable benefits of using the DC1520. After implementing the DC1520 and the associated practical tips, the enterprise witnessed an average reduction of 42% in the defective rate. Additionally, the single - piece machining time was shortened by 28%. This reduction in machining time not only increased the production efficiency but also led to significant cost savings. In fact, the enterprise was able to save over $600,000 annually. These figures clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the DC1520 in reducing costs, improving efficiency, and enhancing product quality.

"Since we started using the DC1520, our production process has become much more efficient. The reduction in defective rate has directly improved our profit margins, and the shorter machining time has allowed us to take on more orders. It's truly a game - changer for our business." - A satisfied customer
