A Conversation with ... Accu-Die & Mold Inc

摘要

You have a full-service die-cast mold building shop. What are your capabilities? Dan Lausch, V.P. manufacturing: We specialize in high-pressure, horizontal die-cast tooling for aluminum, magnesium and zinc. In addition to building tools, we also offer CMM inspection, full-part inspection and layout, mold repair and laser welding. Our 31,000-square foot [2,880 square-meter], climate-controlled shop is equipped with 22 CNC machining centers. We have two Makino F5 high-speed machining centers, two Makino horizontal A-61NV high-speed machining centers, and a YCM NTV158A that we use to hard-cut cavities. We also have two Makino U6 heat wire EDMs and a Charmilles ROBOFIL F1440 wire EDM. Our EDM machines are a Charmilles Technologies Robo Form 55 CNC EDM and Charmilles Technologies Robo Form F085. We have four 50-taper machines and 16 40-taper CNC machines that the moldmakers use to build required details. We also have hoist capabilities to 20 tons. We work primarily with hardened steels - mostly P-20, stainless and H-13, although occasionally we also use HD steel and bidirectional forged steel. To support our customers, we have the capability to reverse engineer from a part print or a supplied cavity insert to a usable cavity model. In addition to die and mold design, we also offer CAD/CAM, complete design from part to product, jig and fixture design, mold design, N/C programming, and we even do some R&D. We use AutoCAD, CADKEY, CATIA, Mastercam, SolidWorks, Surfcam and WorkNC. We're ISO 9001:2015 certified.
