How to choose a suitable die carving machine for packaging industry?
The following aspects need to be considered comprehensively when choosing a knife die carving machine suitable for you in the packaging industry:
Machining accuracy: The die in packaging industry usually needs high accuracy, such as ±0.01mm or even higher. High-precision engraving machine usually adopts high-rigidity fuselage structure, precision guide rail, screw rod and high-performance servo system. For example, Xin Tenghui CNC engraving machine adopts full closed-loop servo control system, imported linear guide rail and high-precision encoder feedback mechanism, which can ensure micron-level precision control.
Processing materials: Different die materials, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, cemented carbide, etc., have different requirements for the performance of the carving machine. To process materials with high hardness, it is necessary to choose equipment with high spindle power and strong rigidity. For example, when machining a stainless steel die, a spindle with a power of more than 2.2kW may be needed.
Machining size: according to the size of the knife die that needs to be machined, choose the engraving machine with suitable worktable and stroke. If you need to process a large-format knife die, you need to choose a model with a large workbench and a long stroke of each axis.
Work efficiency: In order to improve production efficiency, we can choose the engraving machine with high-speed spindle, high-precision servo drive system and high-efficiency cooling system. In addition, the automatic tool changing function, fast feed speed and efficient programming software can also effectively improve work efficiency.
Equipment stability: stable equipment can reduce failures and downtime and ensure the consistency of product quality. When choosing, you should know the manufacturer, manufacturing process, material selection and other information of the carving machine. Well-known brands usually have advantages in production process and quality control.
Convenient operation: For small and medium-sized enterprises, the difficulty of equipment operation directly affects the speed of production. You can choose the engraving machine with graphical Chinese interface and one-button programming function, so that even employees who are new to CNC equipment can operate independently in a short time.
After-sales service: As a kind of high-precision equipment, carving machine will inevitably have some technical problems or need regular maintenance during use. High-quality after-sales service can help enterprises solve equipment failures in time and reduce downtime. When purchasing, we should focus on the supplier's after-sales service network, response speed and technical support ability.
Price factor: The prices of carving machines with different specifications and configurations are quite different, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate equipment according to your own budget. But don't just pay attention to the price and ignore the performance and quality of other aspects, and consider the cost performance comprehensively.
