CNC-controlled polishing machine with integrated dressing spindle, optimized for the production of optics with diameters up to 30 mm. Satisloh experts are ready to answer your questions.

We help you make the right machine purchase decision. The mold polishing in plastic mold processing is very different from the surface polishing required in other industries. Strictly speaking, the polishing of molds should be called mirror processing. It not only has high requirements for polishing itself but also has high standards for surface smoothness, smoothness and geometric accuracy.

Surface polishing generally only requires a bright surface. Auxiliary grinding and polishing tools 1 Handheld electric straight rod rotary grinding and polishing tool As shown in the figure, the chuck with the abrasive polishing tool rotates at high speed to achieve abrasive polishing.

Whetstone Strip-shaped consolidating abrasives pressed and sintered with abrasives and bonding agents. Whetstone is usually lubricated when it is used, hence the name. Whetstone is generally used for manual grinding parts, and it can also be clamped on the machine tool for honing and super-finishing.

There are two types of whetstone, man-made and natural. Man-made whetstone has two types of structure due to different abrasives, as shown in Figure 8. Sandpaper Sandpaper is made of aluminum oxide or silicon carbide and other abrasives bonded to paper. It is mainly used for rough polishing. The abrasives such as , , and are commonly used according to particle size.

Grinding and polishing paste Grinding and polishing paste is composed of abrasives and abrasive liquids, divided into hard abrasives and soft abrasives. The abrasives in hard abrasive polishing pastes include alumina, silicon carbide, boron carbide, and diamond.

The abrasives and fine powders with a common particle size of and W40; soft abrasive abrasive polishing pastes contain oily active substances and are available when used Kerosene or gasoline dilution. Mainly used for fine polishing. Polishing fluid It is an abrasive material used for super-finishing. It is made of W0. It is mostly used for polishing product molds with high appearance requirements, such as optical lens molds. Mold polishing generally uses rough oilstone to roughen the surface of the machined mold cavity, to remove the mark of the machine tool, then use a fine oilstone to remove the rough oilstone to achieve the mark, and then use fine sandpaper The polished surface of the fine oil stone is then polished, and finally the polishing cavity or the polishing paste is used for the final fine polishing of the cavity surface of the mold, and finally the effect as bright as a mirror is achieved.

This is the general process of polishing the mold. Of course, if possible, you can use an ultrasonic polisher to polish the mold, which is more efficient. People are also more effortless.

To obtain a high-quality polishing effect, the most important thing is to have high-quality polishing tools and auxiliary products such as oilstone, sandpaper and diamond abrasive paste. The choice of polishing program depends on the surface conditions after the pre-processing, such as mechanical processing, EDM, grinding and so on. The general process of mechanical polishing is as follows:. A common method is to use a wheel with a diameter of 3mm and WA to remove the white electric spark layer.

Then there is manual whetstone grinding, with strip whetstone plus kerosene as a lubricant or coolant. Whetstone polishing method, this operation is the most important and difficult operation, according to the different specifications of the processed products, the cross-grinding is carried out in a balanced angle of about 70 degrees.

The ideal round-trip range is about 40 mm to 70 mm. Whetstone operations also vary depending on the material of the processed product. Many mold makers choose to start with in order to save time. After the whetstone operation is sandpaper operation, pay attention to the generation of round edges, rounded corners and orange peels of the mold kernel.

Therefore, the whetstone process is as fine as possible. Emphasis on sandpaper polishing. Sandpaper is combined with a harder wooden rod to grind at a cross angle of about 70 degrees like a whetstone operation.

The number of sandpaper grinding on one side is about 10 to 15 times. If the grinding time is too long, the grinding force of the sandpaper will be reduced, which will cause unevenness on the processed surface this is also one of the reasons for the orange peel. In the sandpaper operation, bamboo chips are generally used for grinding. It is most ideal to use a wooden rod with a low elasticity or an aluminum rod with a low hardness at about 45 degrees.

No rubber or highly elastic materials can be used for the polishing surface, and sharp angles can be used for shapes that cannot be polished at a degree angle. In fact, sandpaper only uses mold steel suitable for hardening above 52HRC , but not for pre-hardened steel, because it may cause burns on the surface of pre-hardened steel parts.

For more precise polishing, an absolutely clean space is necessary. Dust, smoke, dandruff, and saliva foam can all be scrapped after a few hours of high-precision polished surfaces. When polishing round or spherical surfaces, using cork rods can better match the curvature of the round and spherical surfaces. The harder wood strips, like cherry wood, are more suitable for polishing flat surfaces.

The end of the wooden strip is trimmed to keep it consistent with the shape of the surface of the steel piece, so that the sharp angle of the wooden strip or bamboo strip can contact the surface of the steel piece and cause deep scratches. When changing from polishing with sandpaper to polishing with diamond paste, this cleaning process is equally important.

Before polishing continues, all particles and kerosene must be completely cleaned. Therefore, it is necessary to apply a light load and use a two-step polishing method to polish the surface.

To make this easier, you can make a thin and narrow handle on the wooden strip, such as adding a copper sheet; or cut a part of the bamboo strip to make it more soft. This can help control the polishing pressure to ensure that the mold surface pressure is not too high. The shorter the time, the better the effect. Because mechanical polishing is mainly done manually, polishing technology is still the main reason for the polishing quality.
