D-M-E North American Catalog to Offer Metric Components for First Time

Starting in September, the D-M-E. Company will be offering a comprehensive European-standard, metric mold components product line to customers in North American. The expansion is in response to the continuing growth of metric molds and components in North America.

“As companies continue to react to global competitive pressures and opportunities, we are seeing more molds being transplanted from region to region, from country to country,” says Chuck Azzopardi, D-M-E’s product manager for mold components. “When metric molds are transplanted to North America, tool builders there need a quick and reliable source for service components.”

D-M-E expects metric components to play an even bigger role in North America in the future.

A new 21-page D-M-E Metric Components Catalog details everything from metric surface definitions to metric fit tolerances. These metric tolerances and standards are not familiar to some North American mold builders, so the catalog includes seven appendices, compiled by D-M-E, which include detailed charts and diagrams to assist those who may be inexperienced with metric tolerances and standards.

EOS Moving to New Facilities near Munich by End of October

By the end of October, the entire staff of EOS GmbH, one Europe’s leading manufacturers of rapid prototyping (RP) systems, will have moved to new facilities in Krailling, Germany, close to Munich. The move is in full swing—and, EOS adds, so is its research and development work. New products continue to be launched to further promote batch-size, optimized production. Users can look forward to seeing the latest rapid prototyping and manufacturing innovations at this year’s EuroMold trade show (December 4–7) in Frankfurt.

For example, the new EOSINT S750 is an extremely high-productivity system that uses EOS’s patented DirectCast® process for boxless manufacture of molds and cores for sand casting. The twin lasers of the EOSINT S750 system scan the internal regions of the laser-sintered parts at a much higher speed, increasing output considerably. The system has successfully completed beta testing.

Blow Molding Machine

Blow molding machine is a machine used in blow forming jobs that become a multibillion dollar business. It is a manufacturing process in which hollow plastic parts are formed. Blow molding machines are what you need if you run a business deals with producing hollow objects from thermoplastic.

For years, blow molding machines have been widely used in a wide variety of industrial or technical application. There are a some examples of things you see in your daily life that are made through blow molding machine, including toy wheels, surfboards, fuel tanks, cabinet panels, flower pots, etc.

In general, there are three main types of blow molding machine that are classified based on the activities. The types are extrusion blow molding, injection blow molding, and stretch blow molding.

The blow molding process begins with melting down the plastic and forming it into a parison or preform. The parison is a tube-like piece of plastic with a hole in one end in which compressed air can pass through.

To decorate blow molded products, there are several ways users usually do, such as paint, pad printing, screen printing, decals, and hot stamping. In short, blow molding machines allow users to fulfill their needs.

You may find difficulties in finding blow molding machines in your town, but you can many options by searching online.  Some come with expensive prices since they are designed for industrial purposes. However, you can consider used blow molding machines to solve this problem. Read this following to catch the ideas.

High pressure die casting

HOT CHAMBER HIGH PRESSURE DIE CASTING

This process is almost universally selected for high- pressure die-casting components in zinc alloys. Metal is melted in a crucible with a hollow protrusion on one side, (generally called a gooseneck), located into the entrance to the die. A force pump mechanism, which has one end submerged in the molten metal, injects the molten metal into the die.

A runner system allows the metal to enter the component cavity or cavities through one or more ingates. Overflow runners may be provided to improve integrity and surface finish as appropriate.

COLD CHAMBER HIGH PRESSURE DIE CASTING PROCESS

As aluminium and it’s alloys require such high temperatures during the diecasting process, the hot chamber process is not suitable. This is because most of the metal components used to push the molten metal in to the die can not be subjected to long periods at high temperatures. Accordingly molten metal, held in a separate furnace, is transferred by a ladle and poured into an extension tube, (generally called the shot sleeve), projecting from the entry point to the die. A plunger, acting along the sleeve, forces the metal into die.

A runner system allows the metal to enter the component cavity or cavities through one or more ingates. Overflow runners may be provided to improve integrity and surface finish as appropriate.

Plastic Mold Making business

I received an interesting e-mail yesterday from someone inquiring about making plastic molds for building planters with faces on them.

I’m going to just copy it and paste it here. So you can read it to.

Del,

I found an article http://www.abceo.com/ and I’d like to try to make these planters but I don’t know how to make the plastic mold. Can you assist?? I work for an agency that works with developmental disabled individuals and we started an art gallery and would like to make some of these planters to sell.

Thanks,

S Belle

Hello S Belle:

Thanks for visiting my site.

I have been thinking about your request for info on making plastic molds for heads to use as planters.

I don’t know where you could buy the molds but can guarantee that they would be expensive and require some expertise to use.

If I was going to try this I would go to garage sales and hobby stores looking for “heads” to use as the basis for my mold.
Plastic Halloween masks make nice cheap plastic molds. Look for ones without any undercuts and that are fairly rigid.
Make up a sand bed with clean moist sand _ if you can pick up a handful and squeeze it, it should stay together.

Cover the eye, nose, and any other holes in the mask. Before you place the mask in the sand bed – coat it with some 10w engine oil. Get the cheapest stuff you can. Don’t put too much on or it will make pits in the surface.
Pack the sand around and under the mask to make sure it holds its shape.
Mix some hypertufa and carefully pack it into the mask.

You will have to wait patiently for a couple of days for the hypertufa to cure. You should be sure that it is kept damp during the curing time.
Once it has cured remove it from the mold and use it to form the front of your Pot-Head.

Maybe you could get some sort of Styrofoam container that you could cut a piece out of and fill the gap with your face casting. Then just use the hypertufa as a glue and filler to cover the container and to holes the casting into place.

I can see it now – you will get a bunch of Richard Nixon masks…….
I hope this gives you some ideas to work with and would like some pictures and commentary if you follow through. (for me to post on my site)

I would like to use this reply as an article on my site (if I get ambitious) and would change your name if it is OK with you? I can leave your name if you like, but either way I will remove the references to .com etc.

Good luck and best wishes’,

Del

Hello again Del,
Thanks for responding!! I’m thinking about buying two head planters and yes they are expensive but I thought I would bite the bullet and then use them for molds. They are, I think concrete planters, and so my next question is how do I use them to make a mold. The answer to your question about posting my questions on your site is fine as long as you change my name and don’t use my organizations information.

Thanks,

S Bell

Hello S Belle:
On my site I have an article about making rubber molds. I would advise against trying it unless you are real adventurous. It is a big job you have to make the actual rubber mold (this is probably the easy part), then make another “case” that comes apart to hold the mold while you pour the concrete. This is generally fiberglass and unless you or someone you know has done it before it is quite a project.

Even if you have purchased a plastic mold you will discover you need a vibrating table in order to make aluminum die casting with no air pockets and it will take a few practice runs before you are able to produce anything that is saleable.
My feeling is if you get some masks and use hypertufa, you don’t need any special skills, you can pack the ‘tufa by hand and will be making nice looking planters in a short period of time. You could make a few ‘faces’ and the go ahead and incorporate them onto your hypertufa planters. One of the nice things about it is that you can ‘glue’ it together.

One other thing is the ‘tufa is very light so you don’t have to have a lot of help to set them up for sale. It is also generally ok to have some flaws in tufa as it adds to the rustic look. Being done by hand means that you will not have a lot of identical planters for sale – similar but not the same. You will find that after you become comfortable with the stuff you will be making more and more articles of your own design.
You may want to get this information – it has helped a lot of people get a feel for what is involved in this hobby.
I hope this helps some, and thanks for the permission!

Del

I hope this is useful to anyone who’s considering making their own molds. If you have any questions please ask and I will try to answer them.

New Company Named Distributor of ONA EDM Equipment in UK

UK machine tool distributor Warwick Machine Tools Ltd. (WMT), founded in 1970 and acquired by Yuasa Trading of Tokyo in 1992 to form Yuasa Warwick Machinery, has been reestablished under the old name as sole UK agent for ONA EDM equipment and a new range of bed-type machining centres from MTE. Both ONA and MTE are based in northern Spain. ONA is the biggest producer of large-scale EDM machines in the European Union and the oldest EDM equipment manufacturer in the world.

This machine is very good for making plastic molds

WMT is a joint venture of Yuasa Trading and Gerard Berger, who was responsible for ONA sales at Yuasa before becoming managing director of the new company. Paul Barry continues as technical director. All warranties on ONA equipment installed in the United Kingdom will be honoured by WMT.

Says Berger: “In reestablishing WMT as essentially a single-product supplier of ONA equipment, albeit we now also have a complementary range of prismatic metal-cutting machines, it is my intention to give ONA customers the support they deserve but that was perhaps diluted when the products were sold through a multi-machine-tool distributor.” Technical sales are handled both in-house and through distributors, with an emphasis on collaborating with the customer to satisfy particular needs.

The company recently unveiled a new range of high-end ONA die-sinkers and fixed-bed submersible wire-cut machines as well as entry-level wire-cut machines based on the Prima family.

Magnesium Die Casting

Magnesium Die Casting

CNM Magnesium  is a die casting china company that produce and supply a complete range of die casting like aluminum die casting, zinc die casting, magnesium die casting and sand casting alloys together with the associated hardeners, fluxes and welding rods. Service partnerships with our customers include extensive technical support in the melting and casting of our product range. In addition, our development teams work closely with end users to ensure component designs maximise the potential benefits from using magnesium alloys.

Magnesium Die Casting Alloys

CNM Magnesium die casting began supplying magnesium casting alloys in the 1930’s and have since developed the most extensive range of magnesium alloy systems leading to improvements in mechanical properties both at ambient and high temperatures of up to 300°C. For high performance sand casting alloys, three main alloy systems are used.

For general purpose applications, the Mg-Zn-Rare Earth alloys Elektron ® RZ5 (ZE41) and Elektron ® ZRE1 (EZ33) are easy to use and provide good tensile properties up to 150oC (302oF). The alloys are widely used for motorsport and aerospace gearbox casings, Elektron ® ZRE1(EZ33) is used in aero engine components where improved creep resistance is required.

The new CNM Die Casting china company  has been developed to offer improved properties and superior corrosion resistance whilst maintaining the processing advantages of the Mg-Zn-Rare Earth alloys. The alloy is used in military and motorsport applications where these properties are at a premium. Elektron 21 has achieved Aerospace Material Specification AMS 4429 and is the first magnesium alloy ever to achieve full MMPDS (MIL-HNDBK-V) design handbook entry, including statistical A & B values and elevated temperature information. For applications operating up to 200oC (392oF), engineers can now have extra confidence when designing strong, lightweight components with CNM 21.

Magnesium die Casting Alloys

For very high temperature applications, up to 300oC (572oF), the yttrium containing alloys are usually preferred. These alloys were developed for improved mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. Yttrium containing alloys have good creep properties and also have excellent corrosion resistance compared to other high performance magnesium alloys. CNM ® WE43 is used primarily for aerospace applications and CNM ® WE54 for high performance automotive applications.

These alloys have largely replaced other high temperature alloys including the silver containing alloys, CNM ® MSR-B, CNM ® QE22 and CNM ® EQ21 for new applications.

Magnesium die Casting Alloys

Magnesium die casting alloys are being increasingly used in commercial automotive and ICT applications due to their excellent castability, good strength to weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. CNM ® AZ91D, CNM ® AM50 and CNM ® AM60 are produced and supplied to diecasting foundries worldwide. The supply of alloys can be supported with CNM’s Recycling Service, capable of managing high and low grade magnesium process arisings.
