Process advantages
Cutouts of high quality.
Control of the cutting depth, with different possible accuracy levels (e.g. : for applications of invisible airbags).
Access to very complex shapes and areas (compactness of the spindle and of its support).
Low running costs (few wear parts) and rapid pay-back on investment.
Adaptation of the milling tool to the cutouts to be realized, and automatic tools change.
Materials
PP, PUR, PE, PC, ABS, glass fibers, ‘sandwich’ materials… Example of parts cut
Dashboards, door panels, airbag covers, body side moldings, bumpers…Thermoformed plastic parts, blown parts, composite parts… Specificities
Different types of routering spindles :
Spindle without tool change
Spindle with automatic tool change, allowing the use of several router bits on the same application. Different types of milling tools :
Left-hand or right-hand spiral, one flute (depending on the cutting way)
Conical milling tools, for airbag areas for example
Two-step milling tool : 2 cutting diameters on the same tool. | |
