In recent years, emerging in the mold industry emerging forces, and in the field of precision molds have a force behind the force - located in the middle of Yuyao and Huangyan, Ninghai this town gathered more than 500 mold manufacturing Manufacturers, with more than 2,000 mold processing workshops.
'With the local business managers on the market awareness, as well as the understanding of precision molds, you can see Ninghai mold companies are moving towards' sophisticated' direction, and even some of the original use of cheap machine tool outsourcing Suppliers are also using such sophisticated high-precision processing equipment as Makino MAKINO. "Ningbo Decaux Precision Molding Co., Ltd., Mr. Li Lixing, executive vice president of Ninghai local mold industry talked about when developing.

From the initial success of rough machining transition precision mold manufacturing, Ningbo Deco precision can be regarded as a microcosm of the local mold industry.
Precision Machining Transformation has taken the first step toward success
Ningbo Deco Precision Molding Co., Ltd. formally shifted its business from rough machining to precision mold manufacturing in 2007, focusing on zinc alloy molds and precision molds for automotive parts. After determining the basic direction , The next step is to determine the appropriate precision machining equipment.
At first, Deco has also tried various processing equipment, high-speed processing machines, EDM machines, wire cutting machines, etc. But with the continuous expansion of business scope, Deco quickly caught in the processing bottleneck. Machine tool efficiency, accuracy As well as the stability and even the limits of the travel range of the machine tool, etc., the company must find a more suitable processing equipment as soon as possible.
In 2011, the first Makino V33i high-precision vertical machining center settled in Deco, will undertake the "finishing" tasks, including the automotive air-conditioning vents, automotive dashboard panels, handles and other precision parts of the high precision car parts The last finishing.
'After using Makino's machine tools, it took 5 to 6 days to mold the time greatly shortened not only because the overall processing speed has been improved, on the other hand, in the past with the mold, but also need to continue to and from the machine - testing equipment Testing, non-conforming needs to be reworked, and now we are equipped with an on-line inspection device on each Makino machine and the machine can automatically detect multiple pieces of information such as tips. "Yin said with satisfaction.
According to reports, Makino V33i high-precision vertical machining center for precision micro-level precision molds and precision parts precision machining, the machine is equipped with a full play to the performance of the control system expert machine system, which can optimize the machine according to processing conditions, even if In addition, customers can choose automatic tool changing device, automatic workpiece updating device and automatic tool measuring device according to the actual needs. .
Equipment synergy opens up new development
It is understood that in the entire mold processing industry, can do the car lock zinc alloy mold business is not much, but Deco is fantastic in this area. 'Compared to other mold processing, its carving process is different, size Accuracy requirements are particularly high.A product may have hundreds of dimensions, which the previous design, processing and control of demanding .In Yin total view, the company can flourish in a vertical industry, and later continued purchase Into multiple Makino EDGE2 spark machine, EDGE3 spark machine and graphite processing center V33iGr not unrelated, the synergies produced by these devices undoubtedly Deco Tech in precision molds opened up a new situation.
EDGE3 precision spark machine
Benefiting from Makino's extensive experience in the field of discharge and graphite processing, Deco has gradually withdrawn its former outsourcing EDM business. "On the one hand, with the increase in equipment, our overall processing capability has significantly improved. On the other hand, the use of graphite instead of copper electrode, greatly accelerated the discharge efficiency, processing speed, but also to achieve complex geometric modeling. "Yin always recalls.
As an expert in graphite processing, the Makino Graphite Processing Center V33iGr achieves high precision and high speed. Equipped with advanced feed control technology and high-speed spindles, Makino's machining center is immaculate and can be finished in a very short period of time. Graphite electrode, in addition to simplifying the electrode processing works before EDM.Yin Zong said, "If someone to consult, I will first recommend Makino graphite processing machine.After all, in the future who will be in the shortest possible time to complete the production of mold , Whoever wins the customer wins the market. '
At present, in the CNC workshop of Deco, except the roughing, the light and other business by the external processing, the processing of the electrode and the mold kernel all within the factory.It is understood that the Makino machine in which the processing value accounted for 90% , It can be said that the core values are made by Makino.While the EDM is the world of Makino equipment, the production of bulk by its completion, accounting for 100%.
The future, smart and sophisticated are worth the wait
While continuing to consolidate the processing power, Deco is also closely linked with the trend of industrial development.According to Yin introduced, 'Last year we also began to focus on the development of intelligent manufacturing - through bar code recognition electrodes, fixtures, etc., as far as possible to achieve unmanned, less Humanized goal, even, we also changed some of the processing technology.
In the total Yin, the intelligent manufacturing mold is undoubtedly the future trend, such as the demolition of the electrode at the same time, to complete the discharge and coordinate detection.If enough space, plus a robot can be fully automated.'In fact, Makino Cooperating with many automation companies, Makino's system openness is very important for companies that want to try smart automation. In other words, matching future trends is also one of the reasons we choose Makino.
In the near future, perhaps you can see that in the corner of Ninghai, a state-of-the-art mold-smart processing factory, from CNC machining to EDM, to CMM, only busy robots, real unmanned machining from here Start with software, production control plans, automatic scheduling ... ... no longer just simple automated production, but you can clearly understand the progress of production, processing quality, smart manufacturing anytime, anywhere through the mobile device. 'Let us look forward to it .
