The DC1317 large-scale double-column CNC milling machine stands at the forefront of plastic mold processing technology, offering industrial manufacturers a transformative solution to drastically improve machining accuracy and operational efficiency. By combining a highly stable transmission system, robust machine body with superior rigidity, and extensive mechanical travel, the DC1317 directly addresses key challenges faced during complex mold fabrication. This article dissects critical technical parameters and performance benchmarks, furnishing potential buyers with a clear understanding of why the DC1317 outperforms competing products in the marketplace.
Central to the DC1317’s precision is its advanced transmission architecture. It employs precision ground ball screws paired with high-torque servo motors, ensuring smooth, backlash-free motion. This design yields a repeatability tolerance of ±0.005 mm, significantly improving upon the typical ±0.01 mm seen in comparable CNC mills. Such accuracy is paramount for plastic mold manufacturers where micrometer-level fidelity impacts mold fitting and product quality.
The transmission system’s stability also contributes to reducing mechanical vibrations by approximately 30%, according to internal vibration analysis data, thereby minimizing machining errors and prolonging tool life.
Another pillar of the DC1317’s outstanding performance is its machine body design. Constructed with a dense Meehanite cast iron frame weighing over 12,000 kg, it delivers exceptional structural rigidity. Finite element analysis simulations show that this weight and material combination diminishes deflection during heavy cutting loads by up to 40% compared to similar machines using lighter frames.
The enhanced rigidity translates into consistent dimensional stability throughout long-duration machining cycles, a critical factor in large plastic molds that require uniform surface finish and shape integrity.
The DC1317 features generously sized travel ranges: X-axis up to 1500 mm, Y-axis 1200 mm, and Z-axis 800 mm, accommodating large molds with complex geometries. This wide stroke capacity enables processing of diverse mold types—from automotive components to household appliance shells—without compromising setup times.
Practical case studies demonstrate an average increase in machining throughput by 25% when using the DC1317 for multi-cavity molds due to reduced repositioning intervals.
One leading plastic mold manufacturer reported a 20% reduction in scrap rates after integrating the DC1317 into their production line, citing improved surface finish quality and dimensional accuracy. Another customer specializing in complex medical device molds highlighted the machine’s reliability over continuous 16-hour shifts, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
