In the field of office equipment manufacturing, the processing accuracy of metal parts directly determines the performance and stability of the equipment. As office equipment develops towards high precision and multi-functions, traditional processing methods can no longer meet the manufacturing needs of complex metal parts. The emergence of large-scale mold wire-cut EDM machines has provided a new solution for the high-precision metal parts processing of office equipment. Today, we take a certain office equipment company as an example to deeply explore the application and difficulties of large-scale mold wire cutting EDM machines in the processing of internal metal parts of copiers.

Case: Challenges in processing metal parts inside a copier

A certain office equipment company is a leading domestic copier manufacturer, and its products are known for their high precision and high reliability. However, as the market's requirements for copier performance increased, the company encountered many processing difficulties during the production process, especially in the manufacturing of some internal metal parts.

1. Fusing roller

The fuser roller is a key component used for fixing in a copier, and its surface accuracy and dimensional accuracy directly affect the copy quality. The fuser roller is usually made of high-hardness alloy materials, and traditional processing methods are prone to problems such as substandard surface roughness and dimensional accuracy deviation. The large-scale mold wire-cut EDM machine tool can achieve micron-level processing of the fuser roller through high-precision EDM cutting technology, ensuring its surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

Processing difficulties:

- The material is very hard and traditional cutting tools are subject to severe wear.

- Extremely high surface finish is required (Ra ≤ 0.7-1.4 μm).

- Thermal deformation is likely to occur during processing, affecting dimensional stability.

2. Transmission gear

Transmission gears are important components for transmitting power in copiers. Their tooth profile accuracy and surface quality directly affect the smooth operation of the equipment. Transmission gears are usually made of high-hardness alloy materials. Traditional processing methods are difficult to meet the requirements of high hardness and high precision. Large mold wire-cut EDM machines can effectively avoid material damage and achieve high-precision cutting through non-contact processing.

Processing difficulties:

- High tooth profile accuracy requirements (error ≤ ±0.00 3 mm).

- Requires extremely high surface finish and wear resistance.

- Micro cracks on the material surface must be avoided during processing.

3. Guide rail slider

The guide rail slider is a key component used to control the movement of the scanning head in the copier. Its surface accuracy and shape accuracy directly affect the accuracy of scanning. The guide rail slider usually needs to be processed into a complex groove structure, and the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of these structures are extremely high. Large mold wire cutting EDM machine tools can achieve high-precision processing of complex grooves to ensure the performance stability of the guide rail slider.

Processing difficulties:

- The groove structure is complex and it is difficult to achieve high precision using traditional processing methods.

- Extremely high surface finish is required (Ra ≤ 0.7-1.4 μm).

- Thermal deformation and stress concentration of materials must be avoided during processing.

Advantages of Large Die Wire Cutting EDM Machine Tools

In the above case, the large mold wire cutting EDM machine tool demonstrated its unique advantages in the processing of metal parts inside the copier:

1. High precision: It can achieve micron-level processing accuracy and meet the stringent requirements of high-precision metal parts.

2. High efficiency: Through the automated control system, production efficiency is greatly improved and labor costs are reduced.

3. Strong adaptability: It can process metal parts with high hardness and complex shapes, solving the limitations of traditional processing methods.

4. High stability: Advanced cooling technology and stress release process effectively avoid deformation and material damage during processing.
