In the competitive world of plastic mold manufacturing, precision isn’t just a goal—it’s a requirement. Even minor deviations during machining can lead to costly rework, delayed delivery, or rejected parts. Traditional CNC milling machines often struggle with vibration-induced inaccuracies and structural deformation under heavy cutting loads—especially when processing large molds.
Enter the DC1317 high-rigidity CNC mill, engineered specifically for demanding mold-making environments where accuracy must be consistent across every pass.
Unlike standard models that use lightweight castings and thin rails, the DC1317 features a monolithic bed design with reinforced cross-rail support and precision-ground linear guides. This setup reduces deflection by up to 40% compared to typical mid-range mills—resulting in repeatable accuracy within ±0.01 mm over extended operations.
A case study from a Tier-1 automotive mold supplier in Mexico shows how switching to DC1317 reduced surface finish inconsistencies by 67%, allowing them to cut secondary polishing time by 30%. That’s not just better quality—it’s real savings in labor and material waste.
| Feature | Standard CNC Mill | DC1317 |
|---|---|---|
| Max Deflection (mm) | ±0.03 | ±0.01 |
| Travel Range (mm) | 600 x 500 x 500 | 1300 x 1000 x 800 |
| Vibration Damping | Moderate | High (Active damping system) |
The DC1317’s robust gantry design supports larger workpieces without sacrificing stability—even at full feed rates. With a travel range of 1300 mm X-axis, it allows manufacturers to process entire mold cavities in one setup, minimizing clamping errors and improving throughput.
One customer in Dubai reported a 25% increase in daily output after adopting this machine for multi-cavity inserts—a direct result of fewer setups, less manual handling, and consistent toolpath performance.
