One milling strategy has proven to be particularly successful for mould making, where sometimes very hard materials have to be machined in the shortest possible time: GTC milling. This form of trochoidal milling results in particularly long tool lives during machining.
Competitive pressure in mould making is forcing Vogt AG to shorten its lead times by means of hard machining. Tools from Gühring offer innovative solutions for machining hardened steel up to 54 HRC.
The machining of intersecting deep holes can be tricky: This is because the cooling process is interrupted, creating an adverse spot drilling or guidance situation. Gaps can only be bridged with the right strategy.
In mould making, there is a trend towards harder and therefore more difficult-to-machine materials. A reference customer machined a mould insert for an injection moulding tool. We will show you which tools are used for this here.
Gühring is now a member of the Association of German Tool and Mould Makers. By becoming a member of the strongest trade association in the sector, we aim to further expand our commitment in this field and seek to exchange ideas on level ground.
The demands that mould makers place on cutting tools are high – after all, they are responsible for more than 90 % of the product quality. Gühring meets these requirements with a brand new milling cutter range designed specifically for mould making.
