If you are looking for advice and estimate the price of manufacturing mandrel matrix and press in Mashhad, Azin Sanat workshop, relying on years of technical experience, advanced machining equipment and experienced engineers, is ready to help you in all stages of design, optimization and production. In this comprehensive article, we examine all the key factors affecting the cost, manufacturing steps and golden tips for successful ordering of mandrel and matrix molds.

What is matrix mandrel mold and what is its application in industries?

The matrix mandrel is one of the most widely used equipments in the metal sheet forming, cutting and punching industries. The overall structure of this tool is based on two main parts: the mandrel, which is the moving part and applies the pressing force, and the matrix, which is the bottom fixed part and the sheet is placed on it. By lowering the mandrel by the pressure of the press, cutting or changing the shape of the metal is done with very high precision.

The applications of these types of templates are countless. From the manufacture of auto parts, home appliance parts, medical equipment and construction fasteners to small electrical parts and metal boxes, they all depend on matrix mandrel press molds. The quality of making these molds has a direct relationship with the smooth surface of the cutting edges, the absence of pleats and the exact matching of the dimensions of the part with the plan. Azin Sanat workshop implements the best mandrel and matrix design by carefully examining your material and drawings so that you can see the least wear and tear even in millions of circulations.

Determining factors in estimating the price of matrix mandrel and press in Mashhad

Estimating the price of making matrix mandrel and press molds in Mashhad depends on many factors and it is not possible to declare a single price without checking the drawing or the piece sample. Understanding the following factors will help you manage your project budget with great precision:

1. Material and grade of tool steels

Choosing the right material is the beating heart of the molding process. Cold-worked tool steels such as SPK, 1.2080 steel, 1.2379 steel and materials such as Bovler and Amotec have different prices in the market. For parts with high thickness or very heavy circulations, the use of chrome-rich and wear-resistant steels is a must, which directly affects the price estimate of the matrix mandrel and press in Mashhad.

2. Type of matrix mandrel operation (single-stage, progressive or compound)

The complexity of the mold structure has a direct impact on the working time of the machines and the engineering cost:

• Simple or single-step molds: they perform only one task, such as a simple cut or a bend, and are cheaper.
• Compound molds: perform two operations at the same time, such as drilling and contour cutting, in one press stroke.
• Progressive molds: They are the most complex type of matrix mandrel, in which the sheet strip moves step by step and is performed on it at each operating station until the complete part is removed. The cost of designing and making progressive molds is higher, but it gives you incredible production speed.

3. The dimensions and thickness of the mold and the required tonnage of the press

The larger the size of the workpiece, the more bulky steel blocks, heavier shoes and stronger mandrels are needed. Also, determining the tonnage of the press according to the mold is one of the key calculations in the consultation stage and price estimation of the matrix mandrel mold and press in Mashhad, which is done by the experts of Azin Sanat workshop.

4. Machining precision and side processes (CNC and wirecut)

Dimensional tolerances are determined depending on the application of the part. The use of CNC milling services with high precision, precise turning, wire cutting to create micron gaps between mandrel and matrix, and spark work determines the final rate of the workshop.

5. Work hardness and heat treatment

The basic working hardness of mandrels and matrix blades in heat treatment or vacuum furnaces increases the wear resistance of the parts up to 60 Rockwell C. The quality of the heat treatment prevents premature breakage of the mandrel.

Types of press molds and their technical features

In the process of consulting and estimating the price of matrix mandrel and press in Mashhad, it must be determined what forming system your part requires. Industrial presses are divided into two categories: mechanical (impact) and hydraulic, and the design of the mold must be done exactly based on the type of press and its working course.

Cutting templates (Blanking and Piercing)

These dies are used to separate the sheet from the raw strip. The clearance between the mandrel and the matrix in these molds is determined based on the thickness of the sheet and the type of alloy (iron, aluminum, brass or steel). If the clearance is calculated incorrectly, the part will have irregular edges and rough pleats.

Bending Dies

V-Die, U-Die and edge bends are used to create different angles. Calculating the springback phenomenon of the sheet is very important during the design of the mandrel and the bending matrix so that the part reaches the exact angle you want.

Deep Drawing Dies

They are used to produce metal containers, filters, capsules and cylindrical bowls. The mandrel in these molds pulls the sheet into the cavity of the matrix without the sheet being wrinkled or torn. Adjusting the pressure of the cover or sheet in tension molds is one of the most important engineering factors.

Azin Sanat workshop designs all these molds with analytical and simulation software to prevent any errors before starting the machining process.

The engineering team of Azin Sanat workshop calculates the structure of the mold, workstations, required press tonnage and the cost of materials and services, and based on that, provides you with an official proforma invoice.

Third step: 3D model design

With SolidWorks and AutoCAD software, the position of mandrels, matrix, covers, springs, guides and mold shoes are modeled in 3D so that the interference of parts is zero.

The fourth stage: rough machining and fine machining

Steel blocks are shaped based on the designed dimensions with milling and turning and initial holes are created.

Fifth step: heat treatment

Sensitive parts such as cutting blades and mandrels are subjected to thermal furnaces and after cooling they reach the desired hardness.

The sixth stage: finishing with wirecut and magnet stone

The surfaces of the seats are smoothed with a flat magnetic stone and the cutting profiles are cut with CNC wirecut with tolerances below one hundredth of a millimeter.

The seventh step: assembly and testing on the press

The components are mounted on the shoe and the mold is tested on a mechanical or hydraulic press. After the final approval of the dimensions of the produced piece, the mold is delivered.
