1 Introduce
In mold manufacturing, precision machining of the mold base is essential—it requires strict parallelism and perpendicularity, along with the ability to produce parts efficiently in batches.
Conventional single-head milling often falls short: frequent re-clamping introduces positioning errors, extended cycle times slow down delivery, and the resulting steel block accuracy rarely meets assembly requirements.
Asiatools’ CNC duplex milling machine—featuring dual-head technology—addresses these challenges head-on, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to invest in a high-quality duplex milling machine.
2 Why Do You Need a CNC Duplex Milling Machine?
Mold bases are injection molds' "foundation"—tiny deviations spell assembly failures.
Traditional single-head equipment needs repeated clamping/flipping, wasting time and piling up errors.
Asiatools' CNC duplex milling machine changes this: its double-head structure allows for machining two opposite sides in one setup.
With high automation, ±0.01mm ultra-precision, and the ability to complete four-sided processing in one clamping (cutting clamping time by half), it boosts batch processing efficiency by 400% compared to traditional single-head milling."
3 Key Points for Equipment Selection
When choosing a CNC duplex milling machine for mold base machining:
Double head synchronization: Ensures uniform machining—poor synchronization leads to rework (a key check for duplex milling machine for sale).
Machine rigidity: Mold bases use P20/H13 steel, requiring professional precision mold steel machining capability. A sturdy integrated bed resists vibration for stable precision.
Operational convenience: Automatic clamping, tool compensation, and sequential four-face machining reduce workload.
After-sales support: Prioritize suppliers with timely technical support—critical for long-term use.
4 How to Maximize Efficiency?
To optimize mold base machining with your CNC duplex milling machine:
Clamp carefully: Use high-precision hydraulic vises for steel blocks—moderate force avoids deformation (basic for precision mold steel machining).
Choose tools wisely: Carbide face mills + high-flow coolant remove chips, prevent scratches, and match precision mold steel machining demands.
Know the scope: Ideal for block-shaped workpieces (mold bases, steel blocks)—avoid complex 3D parts to leverage double head advantages.
