The medium temperature wax mold head wax injection machine is a key equipment used in the precision casting industry to manufacture high-precision and complex shaped wax molds. The following is a detailed introduction about it:
1. Working principle
Heating and insulation: Medium temperature wax is heated to a suitable liquid or semi liquid state through a heating system, and an insulation device is used to maintain the stability of the wax temperature, ensuring good fluidity of the wax to facilitate wax injection molding.
Pressure injection of wax: Using a hydraulic or pneumatic system to generate pressure, medium temperature wax in a suitable state is injected into the mold cavity through a wax injection nozzle. Under pressure, the wax liquid fills every corner of the mold, forming a wax mold that matches the shape of the mold cavity.
Cooling molding: After wax injection is completed, the wax liquid inside the mold is cooled through the mold's own cooling channel or external cooling device, causing the wax liquid to quickly solidify and form a wax mold with certain strength and dimensional accuracy.
2. Structural composition
Wax cylinder: used for storing and heating medium temperature wax, usually with good insulation performance to prevent heat loss from the wax liquid. The wax cylinder may also be equipped with a stirring device inside to make the temperature and composition of the wax liquid more uniform.
Wax nozzle: It is the channel for wax to enter the mold, and its design and size will affect the injection speed and uniformity of the wax. Some wax injection nozzles of wax injection machines can be replaced or adjusted in position according to different molds.
Heating system: Generally, electric heating elements or heat transfer oil are used to heat the medium temperature wax in the wax cylinder to the set working temperature, and the temperature is precisely controlled by the temperature control system to ensure the fluidity and stability of the wax liquid.
Hydraulic or pneumatic system: provides the required pressure for the wax injection process, allowing the wax liquid to quickly and evenly fill the mold cavity. Hydraulic systems have the characteristics of high pressure and good stability, while pneumatic systems have the advantage of fast response speed.
Mold installation and positioning device: used to fix and position the mold, ensuring the accurate position of the mold during wax injection and ensuring the dimensional accuracy of the wax mold. Common ones include workbenches, positioning pins, clamping devices, etc.
3. Performance characteristics
High precision wax injection: Using advanced control systems and precise mechanical structures, it can accurately control the wax injection amount, pressure, and speed, ensuring the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of wax molds, and meeting the requirements of high-end fields such as aerospace, automotive, and medical equipment for precision castings.
Efficient production: With a fast wax injection and cooling cycle, it can achieve continuous or batch production, improve production efficiency, and reduce production costs. Some wax injection machines can also be equipped with multi station molds to further enhance production capacity.
Good stability: Key components of the equipment, such as heating elements and hydraulic components, are usually made of high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes, with high reliability and durability, and can maintain stable performance during long-term continuous operation.
Easy to operate: Equipped with a user-friendly interface and control system, operators can easily set wax injection parameters and monitor equipment operation status, even beginners can quickly get started. Some wax injection machines also have automatic fault diagnosis and alarm functions, which facilitate timely troubleshooting by maintenance personnel.
