Mold processing technology is an important process widely used in the manufacturing industry and plays a key role in various industries. Mold processing technology makes products that meet design requirements by subjecting raw materials to a series of processing and deformation processes. This article will introduce the basic concepts, main classifications, and common processing methods of mold processing technology.

Mold processing technology is a complex manufacturing process that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple aspects such as material characteristics, pass design, processing equipment, and processing technology. First, let's understand the basic concept of mold processing technology. Mold processing technology refers to the process of performing a series of processing operations such as cutting, forming, and opening on raw materials through molds according to product design requirements. Mold processing technology can be divided into two major categories: cold processing and hot processing. Cold processing is mainly used for processing metal materials, including casting, forging, sheet metal processing, etc.; hot processing is mainly used for processing non-metallic materials such as plastics and rubber.

In mold processing technology, common processing methods include milling, turning, drilling, grinding, etc. Milling is a processing method in which a tool is placed on a workpiece and rotated to cut the workpiece to obtain the required shape. Turning is a processing method in which a workpiece is fixed on a spindle and the spindle is rotated while the tool is moved to cut the workpiece. Drilling is to obtain a hole of the required diameter and depth by rotating the tool and feeding it along the axial direction to the workpiece. Grinding is to grind the surface of the workpiece by applying relative motion between the workpiece and the abrasive tool.

In addition to these common processing methods, there are some special processing technologies widely used in mold processing. For example, electrical discharge machining is a processing method that utilizes discharge phenomena for metal materials. Laser processing uses a high-energy laser beam to process workpieces. It has the advantages of non-contact, high precision, and high speed. In addition, there are multiple processing methods such as electrochemical processing and jet processing to choose from.

In addition, there are some links that need special attention in mold processing technology. For example, the design and manufacturing of molds is an important link in mold processing technology, which is directly related to product quality and processing efficiency. At the same time, when performing mold processing, it is necessary to operate in strict accordance with the processing technology regulations to ensure that each link meets the requirements. In addition, during the mold processing process, it is necessary to continuously check and adjust the processing parameters of each process to improve processing accuracy and efficiency.

In summary, mold processing technology is a complex and key manufacturing process. Through a series of processing methods such as cutting, forming, and opening, raw materials are transformed into products that meet design requirements. Mold processing technology involves a wide and complex range and requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors such as material characteristics, pass design, processing equipment, and processing technology. Only by reasonably applying mold processing technology can stable production be achieved.
