Types of matrix mandrels produced in micron molding

1. Mandrel cutting matrix (Blanking and Piercing)

2. Bending matrix mandrel

3. Mandrel of tension matrix (Deep Drawing)

This type of mold is used to convert flat sheets into hollow forms such as glasses or sinks. Matrix Mandrel Manufacturing Pulling requires high metallurgical knowledge and a lot of experience in the field of material flow control, which our team is well versed in.

4. Progressive formats

In these molds, several stages of cutting, bending, and forming are done consecutively in one mold. Micron Molding is one of the pioneers in designing and manufacturing complex progressive molds in the region, which multiplies your production speed.

Why is micron molding the best choice?

You may ask yourself, among the many workshops, why should you entrust your matrix mandrel manufacturing to Micron Molding? Here are some of our competitive advantages:

• Up-to-date equipment: We use CNC machines and precise measuring tools to minimize human error.
• Experienced team: A combination of young engineers and experienced master craftsmen in micron molding have come together.
• Commitment to time: We know that in production, time is gold. Delivery of orders on time is one of our ethical principles.
• Warranty and support: We are confident in the quality of our work. All matrix mandrel manufacturing services in our collection include technical support and after-sales service.
• Competitive price: By optimizing processes, we have been able to reduce costs for our customers while maintaining high quality.

The role of maintenance and repairs in the life of matrix mandrel

Even the best mandrels and matrices need service after some time of use. Cutting edges become dull and require re-sharpening. Micron Molding in addition to manufacturing, also provides mold maintenance services. Basic sharpening of mandrels without losing their hardness is an art in which our technicians are skilled. If you notice that your production parts have creases or the sound of the press has changed, it's time to contact Micron Molding.

Periodical services include checking the alignment of the shoes, the health of the springs, oiling the guide shafts, and of course checking the condition of the matrix mandrel surface. Ignoring these things can lead to irreparable damage to the original format.

Common challenges in matrix mandrel manufacturing and our solutions

There are many challenges in the way of mandrel manufacturing that only a professional team like Micron Molding can overcome.

The problem of the sheet sticking to the mandrel: Sometimes after cutting, the piece of sheet sticks to the mandrel and rises up. We solve this problem by designing pinpran systems and using special surface coatings.

Premature failure of thin mandrels: In small holes, the possibility of mandrel breakage is high. Micron molding increases their strength by using powder material and stepped design for mandrels.

Fast wear of the matrix: If the material of the matrix is ​​not selected correctly or its heat treatment is defective, the opening of the matrix will widen. Strict quality control in micron molding prevents this problem.

The impact of technology on the future of molding

The molding industry is developing rapidly. Using metal 3D printers to make mold inserts and conformal cooling systems will change the future of this industry. Micron Molding is always trying to keep its services updated by following the latest global technology trends. We believe that mandrel manufacturing should be in line with the current European standards so that domestic manufacturers can compete in global markets.

Order to make matrix mandrel in micron molding

The ordering process in our collection is very simple and transparent. Just send us the drawing of the piece or its physical sample. The technical experts of Micron Molding will carry out the necessary checks in the shortest possible time and inform you of the detailed pre-invoice including the material cost, machining cost and delivery time.

At Micron Molding we cover a wide range of industries, including:

• Car and motorcycle parts
• Door and window fittings
• Electrical parts and switches and sockets
• Household and kitchen appliances
• Medical equipment

Our commitment is to manufacture your matrix mandrel with such precision that your production line runs uninterrupted and at maximum efficiency. The satisfaction of customers who have been working with us for years is a proof of the quality of our work.

Important technical tips for template designers

If you are a mold designer and you plan to send your drawings to Micron Molding for manufacturing, following the following tips will help improve the final quality and reduce costs:

1. Observe the radius of the corners: Sharp corners are always places where stress is concentrated and increase the probability of failure. Use Fillet as much as possible in the design of the matrix mandrel.
2. Choosing the right slack: The slack is calculated based on the thickness and material of the sheet. Base on the standard tables or use the advice of micron molding experts.
3. Maintenance prediction: Design the mold so that consumable parts such as mandrels and bushings can be replaced easily without the need to disassemble the entire mold. This feature is observed in all templates designed by Micron Molding.

summary

Building a matrix mandrel is an investment, not an expense. A low-quality mold may be cheaper at first, but frequent line stops, high scrap, and ongoing repair costs will cost much more in the end. Micron Molding guarantees the quality and durability of your tools with a deep understanding of manufacturers' needs.

Precision, commitment and expertise are the three main pillars in Micron Molding. We are proud to have a small share in turning the wheels of the country's industry by providing superior services in the field of matrix mandrel manufacturing.
