    I don't know anything about EDM. With this slow removal rate, would it be advantageous to rough the rib slots with a slitting saw on the mill and then use the EDM to finish them?

    • @DragonflyEngineering
      @DragonflyEngineering 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes in most cases it is best to rough with an endmill then burn in the finish only. In this case a mill tool wouldnt cut away enough to justify the work, So I just let it run all day and do other work

Stessa cosa vale per le velocità di chiusura ed apertura dello stampo, meglio lavorare in mm/s.

  • @mikiri7686
    @mikiri7686 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Oh my ! Didn't know such things could happen to an alluminium mold ! Quite impressive, but i do think the clamping of the injection unit might be too strong (because i already used alluminium mold for high quantity of parts on a 160T hydraulic, the clamping of the injection unit was manual, so i could set it myself to low clamp and i never encountered the same problem you're facing in this video. I'm now using electric presses like you do with your 200T (Haitian if i'm not mistaken), and the clamping being automated goes directly to full clamp (But it is only a theory, i did not try to verify this particular point about the automatic clamp on electric). Hope there's a way to set to lower clamp your injection unit !

    • @mikiri7686
      @mikiri7686 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, I actually found the problem after watching the whole video. At 37:15 , I see that the injection goes far in the mold to shorten as much as possible the sprue, but the thickness is way too thin between the nozzle and the cavity part in my opinion to counter the clamping of the injection unit for long term usage.

    Haha, great! Even yesterday I remembered that you have spoken about cooling with screwable plates in one of the last videos - and there is the solution :-) What about conducting paste (I use a copper filled one for heating plates for some other projects) for the milled channel? Or isn't it necessary?

    • @DragonflyEngineering
      @DragonflyEngineering หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi , yes thermal paste can help with the rate of heat transfer. I can change after 6 months when the past dries out to a powder cake though. In this plate the press fit between the 2 metals may be just as good as a thin layer of thermal past. The large gap where the round and the flat volume would be better with past. Thanks for watching!

  • @tverstynen72

    Why wouldn’t you just bolt the insulator plates to the mold. I would be afraid that that ejector rod would snap when running. Then finally why wouldn’t you torque those toe clamps in.

    • @DragonflyEngineering
      @DragonflyEngineering หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have some that are oversized insultators to bolt to the molding machine, but I have so many variations of molds, that I usually block mounting holes, or need the ones that bolt the insulator, so I keep them simple. I save $ by not making insulators for all the molds. I also have universal shim plates to get the 2 mold stacks the same height. Yes, as i mentioned I get away with the 1/2 inch rod for light force eject molds. I have 1.5" dia ejector rods that came with the machine too. finally, i don't have a torque wrench :( But I should get one. Thanks for watching!
