Automotive Foam Mould Choose Small Engraving Machine or Foam Machining Center

The foam processing center and the foam engraving machine are both equipment for engraving and processing automotive foam molds. The two complement each other and have complementary functions, which can meet the needs of all foam mold processing friends. It is especially similar to foam for automotive interior parts and engine molds.

Before clarifying the problem, let's take a look at the main configuration of the foam processing center and foam engraving machine.

  For ordinary foam engraving machines, the main configuration is as follows.

  1. The working table of the foam engraving machine is made of high-strength cast iron and resin sand. After tempering, it has good shock absorption and thermal stability. This combination is a popular trend of today's CNC machine tools. It has good rigidity and precision maintaining performance. It has the characteristics of small machine tool area, large worktable bearing capacity and high degree of automation.

  2. The X Y-direction organ-type dust-proof device ensures the cleanliness of the surface of the wire rail and the rack and pinion during the operation of the equipment, and prolongs its service life.

  3. The Z axis adopts 4 Taiwan Shangyin precision linear guides and a highly rigid box-type structure design, and is tempered to eliminate stress to ensure the rigidity of the Z axis and the stability of multi-curved surfaces at high speeds. The use of dual air pressure powerful balance cylinder assists to improve the Z-axis accuracy and work stability.

  4. The Y axis of the foam engraving machine adopts 4 Taiwan Shangyin precision linear guides, and the pressure block is installed to ensure the accuracy of the linear guides. Uniform force during machining operation, maintaining good mechanical accuracy and stability during rapid movement.

  And foam processing centers. (Can be equipped with three-axis, four-axis, five-axis foam machining centers)

  1. The foam machining center uses four-row linear guide rails with high load capacity, high speed, high positioning accuracy, and high rigidity. The guide rail blocks are compactly installed; in conjunction with the high-speed AC servo motor drive, each axis moves quickly and smoothly, and the machine tool has Permanent precision.

  2. The taper hole of BT40 spindle adopts HSK taper hole tightening method, which has large tool locking force and high accuracy and stability. It is especially suitable for high-speed processing occasions, improving processing accuracy and finish, and shortening processing time. The spindle clamping range and cutting depth are the highest standards in the industry, second only to the BT50 of CNC metal machining centers.

  3. X, Y, Z adopts double deceleration self-backlash reducer structure and direct transmission of high-precision pre-stretch ball screw, which is suitable for high-precision and strong cutting of the workpiece; Z axis adopts automatic compensation nitrogen double balance system, which effectively reduces Z-axis servo motor load extends machine life.

  4. The foam machining center uses a high-performance, high-reliability high-speed microprocessor five-axis linkage complete NUM system, CANopen digital bus interface, NUM absolute value servo motor, multi-turn encoder, and some are equipped with RTCP compensation function; The number of extended interpolation axes exceeds 200 servo axes.

   Generally speaking, foam processing centers and foam engraving machines are two levels of products. For ordinary automotive foam mold customers, conventional foam engraving machines can meet their needs. If you have friends who need three-dimensional engraving, you need to choose a high-end five-axis foam machining center.
