Machining Defined by the Order
A quotation should state what is delivered: the material condition, finished dimensions, machined features, included components and inspection requirements. We review these items together before production.
Plate Preparation and Finishing
Select six-side milling, two-side grinding plus four-side milling, or eligible E1 six-side grinding. Different faces and dimensions carry different tolerances. Compare the plate specifications before choosing a finish.
Mold Base Machining
CNC rough and finish milling, grinding, drilling, boring, tapping and water-channel machining support drawing-specific mold base projects. Guide pillar and guide bushing assembly can be included.
Material Conditions
The order identifies whether material is annealed, pre-hardened, or hardened and tempered. Requirements depend on grade, geometry and application. Do not assume that every grade uses the same processing route.
Capacity Review
Tool steel plates: maximum processing size 1,200 × 800 × 400 mm.
Mold bases: up to 1,500 × 1,200 mm, with maximum set weight approximately 8 tonnes.
Dimensions, handling and required precision are reviewed together. These maximum capacities do not mean that every finishing grade is available at the largest size.
Inspection and Handover
Specify dimensional inspection, CMM reporting, hardness checks, material documentation and any UT reporting required for the project. The drawing and agreed inspection scope provide the acceptance basis. Review Quality & Inspection.
A Process Sequence With Clear Handover Points
- Confirm grade, delivery condition, drawing revision and finished requirements.
- Prepare the plate or block for the machining specified in the order.
- Complete the agreed milling, grinding, hole machining and assembly operations.
- Inspect the specified features and prepare the requested documentation.
- Confirm dispatch arrangements against the agreed supply scope.
Photos and documents should demonstrate the actual operations relevant to your project. Review the documentation options.
