Démarrer dans la fabrication des moules et des matrices
Ce sont précisément ces aspects qui sont à la base de la popularité de MAPAL dans divers secteurs, dont l'industrie automobile, le génie mécanique et l'industrie aérospatiale. Il est donc logique que le fabricant d'outils de précision propose désormais des solutions efficaces et économiques pour l'usinage complet de moules et de matrices. Les outils haute performance précis et polyvalents ainsi que les porte-outils spéciaux avec contours fins et concentricité précise réduisent les opérations de polissage et le réusinage au minimum grâce à une qualité de surface constante lors du fraisage. Ils permettent de réaliser des économies substantielles tout au long du processus.

Aço e aço temperado
Peças que se tornam cada vez mais complexas com cavidades cada vez mais profundas, bem como moldados com nervuras reforçadas, em moldes de injeção plástico e moldes de fundição sob pressão exigem o uso de ferramentas extra longa com diâmetros que podem ser muito pequenos. Geometrias de peças complexas e várias características materiais colocam o mais alto nível que exige a usinagem e a vida da ferramenta.
Exemplos de aplicação:
- Molde de injeção plástica
- Molde de fundição
- Ferro fundido
-
Ferro fundido
Para engenharia de projetos construir ferramentas de conformação a frio de médio e grande porte, é oferecido o ferro fundido que frequentemente é usado devido às propriedades do material, como resistência à compressão e fácil usinabilidade. Os principais componentes aqui são placas de molde e inserções de molde. A MAPAL tem muita experiência com fresamento (2D e 3D) e operações de furação (furação, alargamento, rosqueamento).
Exemplos de aplicação:
- Placas de moldagem
- Inserções de moldagem
- Alumínio

Alumínio
Quando se trata de moldes de pré-série ou protótipo, é comum usar materiais fáceis de usinar. Ligas de alumínio ou uriol (plásticos) são frequentemente usados. Nestes casos, ferramentas sólidas de metal duro inteiriça com arestas de corte positivas e parcialmente polidas, ou melhor ainda, ferramentas com ponta de PCD garantem alta produtividade e tempos de usinagem curtos.
Exemplos de aplicação:
- Moldes pré-série
- Moldes de protótipos
- Cobre
-
Cobre
A produção de elétrodos para processos EDM requer a usinagem de ligas de cobre e materiais de grafite. A seleção do material do elétrodo depende dos requisitos do molde a ser produzido. As ligas de cobre são comparativamente caras e são geralmente utilizadas em elétrodos para acabamento quando é necessária alta qualidade de superfície e precisão de forma. As fresas inteiriças de metal duro com geometrias especiais da MAPAL garantem aqui resultados de usinagem de alta precisão.
Exemplo de aplicação:
- Eletrodos para a erosão por faísca (processos EDM)
- Grafite
-
Graphite
Graphite has a highly abrasive effect on the tool and causes strong wear on the cutting edge. The profiles to be machined tend to burst with increasing wear. Therefore, a tool with suitable geometry and optimum cutting material is required. For machining graphite, MAPAL uses diamond-coated solid carbide tools or PCD-tipped tools.
Application example:
- Electrodes for spark eroding (EDM)

2D 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.
