What is the difference between mold carving and milling machine and graphite carving and milling machine? Many users often confuse these two types of carving and milling machines in their daily use, unable to understand the differences between them. Many people even directly use mold carving and milling machines to process graphite, which can cause significant damage to the machine tool. It is precisely because people are not familiar with these two types of machine tools that many unscrupulous merchants use mold carving and milling machines as graphite carving and milling machines to sell. So today we will teach you how to distinguish between graphite engraving and milling machines and mold engraving and milling machines.

The difference between mold carving and milling machine and graphite carving and milling machine

1、 Different configurations

Mold carving and milling machines mainly process metal materials, which generate a large amount of heat energy during processing, causing the temperature of the cutting tool to rise sharply. Therefore, during the processing, the nozzle of the cutting fluid should be aligned with the tool, fully lubricated, and the heat should be taken away. The graphite carving and milling machine is mainly used to process soft materials such as graphite. As mentioned in our high school physics textbook, graphite is a very soft material, so it will not cause significant damage to the cutting tool during processing. However, during the processing of graphite, a large amount of dust is generated, which can pollute the machine tool and air. Therefore, it is necessary to use dust collection devices or dust isolation devices to deal with it. Generally speaking, graphite carving and milling machines are equipped with water curtains or dust collectors. This is the main difference between the equipment and the mold carving and milling machine.

2、 Different levels of protection

When the mold carving and milling machine processes metal materials, it is not easy to generate dust, so all metal debris can be completely recovered through ordinary recycling pipelines. In our daily operations, as long as we clean on time, no special protection is needed.

The graphite carving and milling machine mainly processes graphite, which is a good conductor. When this conductor is filled in the air, it will cause great damage to the power components of the machine tool. Therefore, good protective measures need to be taken. Graphite carving and milling machines like Xintenghui are equipped with double sealed protection, completely eliminating the damage of graphite dust to the machine tool.

3、 The processed materials are different

Mold carving and milling machines mainly process various types of metal materials and have significant cutting capabilities. The main application areas currently include mold processing, copper electrode processing, product and part processing, etc.

The graphite carving and milling machine mainly processes graphite materials, and can also process metal materials. The processing effect is similar to that of a mold carving and milling machine. That is to say, mold carving and milling machines cannot be used to process graphite, while graphite carving and milling machines can process mold products in addition to graphite.
