Equipment & Process FAQ
Q: What main machining equipment do you have?
A: A 5-axis overhead-gantry high-speed machining center, three gantry CNCs, a deep-hole drilling & milling center, five EDM machines (including dual-head simultaneous), and a vertical die spotting press. Lamp molds are completed in-house from roughing to fit validation.
Q: What is deep-hole drilling and why do molds need it?
A: Deep-hole drilling creates internal cooling channels, routed along the part contour to depths of up to 1,500 mm. Good cooling design directly determines cycle time and product quality.
Q: How does 5-axis machining benefit lamp molds?
A: Lamp molds have deep cavities and complex optical surfaces. 3-axis requires multiple re-fixturing; 5-axis completes them in one setup, reducing accumulated error, improving optical surface continuity, and shortening lead time.
