Durchstarten im Werkzeug- und Formenbau
Genau diese Aspekte sind es, die MAPAL in Branchen wie der Automobilindustrie, dem Maschinenbau oder der Luftfahrtindustrie erfolgreich machen. So ist es nur folgerichtig, dass der Präzisionswerkzeughersteller nun auch im Werkzeug- und Formenbau effiziente und wirtschaftliche Lösungen für den kompletten Zerspanungsprozess anbietet. Vielseitige und präzise Hochleistungswerkzeuge und spezielle Werkzeughalter mit schlanken Konturen und präzisem Rundlauf minimieren Polieraufwand und Nacharbeit durch eine konstante Oberflächengüte beim Fräsprozess.

Komponenten & Werkstoffe
From the unmachined to the finished part
-
1 / 82D surfaces
On the one hand, this category includes machining processes carried out directly on the machine, such as face milling, milling of pockets and straight walls. On the other hand, it also includes operations for complex geometries that are programmed using CAM software.

3D surfaces
In the die & mould sector, the manufacture of increasingly complex forms is part of everyday life. Continuous further developments in machine tools and CAM software raise performance and productivity to an ever higher level. The tools used must therefore always be state-of-the-art. To achieve optimum results, each design starts with a process analysis.

Open pockets
Mould inserts also have machining tasks that are required for casting or various attachment parts. Users are increasingly machining open pockets (circumferential machining) using trochoidal milling. This machining method helps to optimise machining times and to extend tool life.

4 / 8
Closed pockets
Closed pockets are usually produced by roughing in Z planes. When milling, a ramp is often selected as the machining entry. The tool selected depends on the depth of the walls and the mould incline to be generated on the component. MAPAL’s broad portfolio with modular systems also covers the machining of deep pockets with large diameters.

Helix milling
A major focus in milling operations is on reducing the machining time. With specific tool geometries for machining closed, round pockets, it is often possible to eliminate the pre-drilling process. With helix milling, milling paths are programmed with helical entrances that are suitable for pocket dimensions.

Even surfaces
Operations to create even surfaces occur very frequently and in different areas in the die & mould sector: It could be component-related, strategy-related due to the respective milling process or due to requirements for mould closing surfaces as well as sections and cutting dies. The right tool is then selected depending on the application and requirements.

Thin walls and ribs
Plastic injection moulds and die casting moulds often have ribs and thin walls. Ribs, for example, are increasingly being milled, as this process is more cost-effective than EDM (spark eroding). As a rule, long or extra-long carbide tools with small diameters are used. Customer-specific solutions (RibCutter) to match the respective rib shape are also possible here.

Small and large bores
There is a wide range of full bore operations in the die & mould sector: From large bores for guide pillars and deep bores for the cooling system to high-precision bores for ejector pins. MAPAL offers a comprehensive portfolio of drilling and reaming tools for the individual production steps.
