[Case Study] Improved the mold life of thick plate trim processing by 7.5 times.
The reason why the mold that was limited to 20,000 shots has been extended to 150,000 shots!
This is a case where we struggled with secondary shearing and chipping during the processing of 4.5mm thick plates (SAPH-440-OD). Traditionally, maintenance was required after about 20,000 shots, but our company proposed and implemented a micro R treatment on the cutting edge and polishing before and after coating. As a result of changing the coating type to AICrN, the tool life was extended to an astonishing 150,000 shots. This is a good example of achieving stabilization of part accuracy and reduction of total costs through the optimization of polishing technology. *Please download the materials to check the specific processing conditions and process charts that led to this dramatic improvement.
