Injection molding manufacture equipment-Drill machine
A drill machine is a machine tool used to create holes in a workpiece. It is an essential tool in the injection mold manufacturing process, where drilling is a necessary operation.
Drill machines can be classified into the following types based on their structural form:
1. Swing-arm drill machine. This is the most common type of drill machine, it has a simple structure and is easy to operate, making it suitable for frilling holes of various sizes and shapes.
2. Bench drill. This is a small drill machine that is suitable for drilling holes in small workpieces.
3. CNC drill machine. This type of drill machine can automatically control the movement of the drill bit, providing high-precision drilling and making it suitable for drilling complex holes.
When using a drill machine to machine a workpiece, the following tips should be kept in mind:
1. Choose the right drill bit. The type and size of the drill bot should be selected according to the material of the workpiece and the shape of the hole.
2. Use the drill machine correctly. Always follow safety precautions and operating procedures when operating a drill machine.
3. Position the workpiece properly. Position the workpiece accurately to ensure the position and accuracy of the hole.
Drill machines are used in injection mold manufacture in the following aspects:
1. Machining mold cavities. The mold cavity is a critical part of the injection mold. The shape, size, and accuracy of the mold cavity have a significant impact on the appearance and performance of the molded product. A drill machine can be used to machine various holes in the mold cavity, including gates, vents, and cooling holes.
2. Machining mold components. Injection molds also include many metal components, such as inserts and slides. These components also require drilling. A drill machine can be used to machine various holes in these components.
3. Machining mold accessories. Injection molds also require the use of some accessories during use, such as mold locating pins. The holds in these accessories can also be machined using a drill machine.
