Surface quality:
gloss milling or polishing?
Workshop with companies MMC Hartmetall and Tebis Technische Informationssysteme 04/2024
If the highest surface quality is required during milling, additional polishing is usually carried out after finishing. For typical tasks in mould making, the required time can range from a few hours to several days.

Quality measurement in the machine?
At the Alpla Group in Hard, Austria, the production process was significantly shortened by moving the quality measurement from a separate measuring room to the RXP950DSH from Röders. Immediately after milling, the workpieces are measured on the machine. The measurement differences compared to a coordinate measuring machine are so marginal that measuring on a coordinate measuring machine could be eliminated.

Ultra-precise machining of brittle-hard materials
Company ShapeFab 03/2023
When processing lenses or other structures made of glass or ceramics for applications such as laboratory and medical technology, measuring devices or laser technology, the “classic” three-pronged technology chain of grinding, lapping and polishing using three different systems dominates.

Extra large 2000 x 1800 mm with 5 µm stitching gauge: High-precision 3‑axis milling and jig grinding
In many industrial sectors two twinned trends can be observed: customers ask for components with larger dimensions while at the same time requiring enhanced accuracy and surface quality. This not only affects tool and mould making, but also other high-tech application areas such as mechanical engineering, the electronics and metrology sector, or medical technology.

Company son‑x, 12/2021
For many optical components, such as lenses or mirrors, the requirements for the accuracy of the contours and the quality of the surfaces are up to a power of ten more stringent than for other micro production processes. Fractions of a micrometer or surface roughness values in the single-digit nanometer range are required.

high-precision 5‑axis machining centres
The manufacture of gearwheels for machine building applications usually involves machines especially designed for the purpose. Important techniques include gear hobbing, gear shaping, gear-generating planning, profile milling and profile broaching. Generally, specialized tools whose geometry is precisely adapted to the work-piece are required.

It is hard to find product categories with aesthetic requirements that exceed those of the healthcare & beauty sector. The requirements that such products have to meet encompass all relevant aspects, such as design, colour, surface quality or look and feel. It goes without saying that items produced by plastic injection moulding need moulds that fulfil comparatively stringent quality requirements.
