The plastic injection grill mold shown in the image below is produced on a DMG MORI DMU 210 P in a two-stage roughing and finishing process. Machining the 42CrMo4 steel component takes a total of 508 hours.
Thanks to the five-axis technology, 50% of the previous EDM process and 50% of the manual polishing work could be eliminated and an overall accuracy of +/- 394 µin to +/- 984 µin could be achieved.
With its symbiosis of high productivity and maximum precision, DMG MORI adds that the DMU 210 P is generally ideal for producing highly demanding molds and dies with quality and precision. In addition, the universal machine offers an optimum performance level with simple operation and at economic conditions.
