There are many types of oils for molding machines, depending on the type of machine and the type of work being done. In general, there are hydraulic oils, stamping oils, and EDM oils.
1. Hydraulic oil: Used for the hydraulic system of plastic injection machines and other machines. Generally, # 46 is recommended for general plastic injection machines, but if the room temperature is very cold, # 32 may be used, and # 68 may be used if the temperature is high.
2. Stamping oil: Used for metal stamping, such as aluminum and general metal stamping, aluminum fin punching for cooling and air conditioners. It has good lubricating properties, allowing the metal to flow well in the mold, reducing the problem of cracking.
3. EDM oil: Used in the electrical discharge machining (EDM) process, helping to dissipate heat and chips from sparking the workpiece, so that the surface of the workpiece is consistent and the size can be controlled accurately.
In addition, there are other metal processing oils, such as:
• Special lubricants: For lubricating various points Machinery parts such as slide plates, molds.
• Pipe rolling oil: Used in the metal pipe rolling process.
• Hardening oil: Used in the metal hardening process.
Choosing the right oil for your forming machine:
The following factors should be considered:
• Type of machine:
Injection molding machine, metal stamping machine, eroding machine.
• Type of work:
Stamping, grinding, eroding, pipe rolling.
• Materials used:
Various metals such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel.
• Working environment:
Temperature, humidity.
• Oil properties:
Viscosity, flash point, lubricant, pressure agent.
Recommendation: Consult a specialist or the machine manufacturer to select the right oil for your machine and the job.
