A mould insert tapping machine is a specialized machine tool designed for tapping threads into a mould insert. A mould insert is a component used in injection moulding, which a metal insert made out of metal part for injecting material into a mould cavity.
The MOuld insert tapping machine can be a dedicating tappingmachine with a cycle time of 1200 parts per hour manufacturing. The tap size can be from M2 to M10 size,
the mcahine runs in a vertical coloumn and the head moves vertically in a LM guideways with a Ball screw in it. the complete system run in the Servo control system, the spindle motor and also the machine Slide motor, both are Servo controlled with a PLC controller.
In the injection moulding process, the mould insert is often made of hardened steel and contains the cavity into which the material is injected. The mould insert tapping machine is used to create threaded holes in the mould insert to allow for the insertion of screws or other fasteners that hold the mould components together.
The machine typically consists of a tapping head that is mounted on a spindle and driven by a motor. The mould insert is clamped in place on a fixture, and the tapping head is brought into position over the insert. The spindle is then rotated, and the tapping head cuts threads into the insert.
Mould insert tapping machines are typically used in high-volume production environments where speed and accuracy are critical. They are often used in the automotive and electronics industries, where tight tolerances and high precision are required.
