Mecanizado de paredes y nervaduras finas

Los moldes de plástico por inyección y los moldes de fundición de presión suelen tener nervaduras y paredes finas. Por ejemplo, cada vez se fresan más nervaduras, porque dicho proceso es más rentable que el proceso EDM (electroerosión). Por norma general, se usan herramientas de metal duro largas o extralargas de diámetro pequeño. En estos casos, también se pueden emplear las soluciones específicas de cada cliente (RibCutter) correspondientes a la forma de la nervadura.

Roughing

Roughing operations are responsible for most of the chip removal capacity. Special milling strategies such as high-feed machining or trochoidal milling can reduce machining time and thus increase profitability. In addition to tools with indexable inserts and solid carbide milling cutters, high-performance milling cutters with special roughing geometry are used.

Finishing

The finishing process removes the remaining material in order to achieve the final shape. After pre-finishing, stock removal is 0.05-0.1 mm for hardened materials or 0.1-0.3 mm for soft materials. Ball and/or corner radius milling cutters are the tools of choice, regardless of the final contours of the workpiece.
