What are the application areas of injection molds?

Injection molds are important process equipment for producing various industrial products. With the rapid development of the plastic industry and the promotion and application of plastic products in industries such as aviation, aerospace, electronics, machinery, shipbuilding, and automobiles, the requirements for molds in products are also increasing. Traditional mold design methods can no longer meet today's requirements Compared with traditional mold design, computer-aided engineering (CAE) technology has great advantages in improving productivity, ensuring product quality, and reducing costs and labor intensity.
In the processing of injection molds, various CNC machining methods are used, with the most commonly used being CNC milling and machining centers. The application of CNC wire cutting and CNC electrical discharge machining in mold CNC machining is also very common. Wire cutting is mainly used in various straight wall mold processing, such as concave convex molds in stamping, inserts and sliders in injection molds, electrodes for electrical discharge machining, etc. For mold parts with high hardness, machining methods cannot be used, and electrical discharge machining is mostly used. In addition, electrical discharge machining is also used for sharp corners, deep cavity parts, narrow grooves, etc. of the mold cavity. CNC lathes are mainly used for processing standard parts such as mold rods, as well as mold cavities or cores of rotating bodies, such as injection molds for bottle bodies and pots, and forging molds for shaft and disc parts. In mold processing, the application of CNC drilling machines can also play a role in improving machining accuracy and shortening machining cycles.
