The SF Series Mold Machining Center is a heavy-duty gantry mold machining center designed for high-precision non-metal mold making.
This serier cnc machine is optimized for hard non-metal materials, such as solid wood, tooling board, composite materials and so on, where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are critical.
With an optional tool cooling system, the SF Series can also machine aluminum alloy and certain steel components, making it a versatile CNC router solution for complex mold and sculpture manufacturing.
Key Features of SF Series Gantry CNC Router:
1. Optimized for Hard Non-Metal Materials: Designed for machining solid wood, tooling board and composite materials, delivering excellent surface quality for precision mold and sculpture applications.
2. High-Torque BT40 Mechanical Spindle: Equipped with a BT40 high-torque mechanical spindle, capable of stable cutting even when wooden molds contain steel nails, without spindle damage, speed reduction or tool removal.
3. No Need to Remove Steel Nails in Wood Molds: A major advantage for wood mold manufacturing—the machine can cut through wood molds with embedded steel nails, significantly improving efficiency and reducing preparation time.
4. Rigid Gantry Structure & Stable Machine Bed: High-quality mechanical design ensures excellent bed rigidity, long-term accuracy retention and extended machine service life.
5. Self-Developed Transmission System: All three axes adopt high-precision ball screw transmission, providing high speed, high accuracy and easy maintenance, ideal for long-term mold production.
