Machine-Hammer Peening Automates Mold Polishing

摘要

A polishing automation solution eliminates hand work, accelerates milling operations and controls surface geometries. High-quality, smooth surfaces are essential in mold manufacturing. Customers insist on it, but the processes for achieving these surfaces are costly and difficult. Polishing is one such finishing process that requires abrasive rubbing or a chemical action to produce a smooth, shiny surface and to diffuse reflections. The challenge for moldmakers is the labor-intensive nature of these operations that are completely dependent on the personal skill and expertise of an experienced mold polisher. The bottom line is that polishing requires a lot of time and skill, is prone to costly errors and delays and causes frustration.
