EQUIPMENT ATLAS
The geometry defines
the process.
Material, depth, tool access and required finish define the manufacturing route. Here are the roles of the equipment families and the documented models.
CNC milling
41+ machining and milling centres
The tool removes material to generate cavities, cores and parting surfaces. Additional axes let the tool approach inclined faces; internal radii and inaccessible areas may require EDM.
- 3 / 4 / 5axes according to the machine
- 4-axis DMG MORI NHX 6300; 5-axis DMC 65 and DMC 85. The equipment base also includes 3-axis centres.
- Palletspreparing different fixtures
- Pallet changes are documented for DMC 65, DMC 85 and GF MIKRON MIL E 700. The strategy depends on the part and its workholding.
- 5,000 mmlongitudinal travel in X
- FPT Tessen35 EVO: X 5,000 × Y 1,200 × Z 1,500 mm; Ø 1,200 mm rotary table. These are machine travels, not maximum mould dimensions.
10LathesRotational geometries
Turning produces diameters, shoulders, bores and threads around an axis. It serves cylindrical mould components; a freeform surface or a non-axial cavity requires a different operation.
Documented models
CMZ TD35, BIGLIA 650 YS and BIGLIA 465 T2 Y2; the count also includes manual and automatic lathes.
Process selection
Diameter, length, material and workholding define the machine and operation.
7EDM systemsDetails beyond the milling tool
EDM machines electrically conductive materials. Sinker EDM uses an electrode to form cavities and deep details; wire EDM cuts through profiles. They perform different jobs.
Documented models
ONA IRIS 6 and CDM ROVELLA 1200 CNC sinker EDM; MAKINO U6 H.E.A.T and FANUC Robocut α-C600iB wire EDM. OPS Ingersoll specifies a 50-electrode changer.
Process selection
Useful where cutter access or radius limits the geometry. Material conductivity and required finish are assessed.
3Grinding machinesSupport and contact planes
The abrasive wheel works planes and contact surfaces after rough machining or the planned heat treatment. It helps prepare support surfaces and mating faces in the assembly.
Documented models
FAVRETTO MB130 and STANFOR are among the documented grinding machines.
Process selection
The achievable finish and grinding geometry are defined for the part. A complex three-dimensional cavity generally needs milling, EDM or another specific operation.
4Deep, micro and radial drillingInternal channels and holes
Deep-hole drilling produces internal channels, for example for cooling circuits. Micro-drilling and radial drilling serve different diameters, access and tasks.
Documented models
IMSA MF1450 EVO: up to 9 axes and 1,500 mm drilling depth. CR TECHNOLOGY, SY3545 EDM and a BERGONZI radial drill are also listed.
Process selection
The 1,500 mm depth describes the drilling operation, not mould size. Diameter, material, intersections and channel access are assessed.
3Mould spotting pressesClosure and contact between halves
Spotting presses close a mould in a controlled way to check contact between its parts during assembly. They help identify areas that need fitting and correction.
Documented models
MILLUTENSIL MIL 143.044 and MILLUTENSIL BV 30E-R are among the documented spotting presses.
Process selection
Dimensions, weight, support points and fitting scope are assessed. Testing the injection or casting process requires a separate trial.
2Laser equipmentRepair, marking and engraving
Laser welding adds material locally during repair work. Marking and engraving identify parts or work on their surfaces. These are different applications, specified separately.
Documented models
One SISMA welder and one TECH LASERBERG machine. The documentation describes laser welding, marking and engraving services.
Process selection
Material, repair or marking area, access and required finish are reviewed to define the intervention.
11Other recorded equipmentType not broken down
Another 11 machine tools are included in the declared total, with types not broken down in the sources.
From the model to dimensional inspection
CAD / CAM
VISI, PowerMill, hyperMILL and Tebis are among the documented tools. The model and toolpaths are prepared around the geometry, material and planned operations.
Dimensional inspection
2 HEXAGON Global CMMs and 1 FARO measuring arm, outside the 81 production units. Measurement checks dimensions and surfaces against the drawing and helps define the report the project needs.

Frequently asked questions for Latin American projects
Practical answers on coordination, confidentiality, validation, delivery and cost.
Who coordinates the project assessment?
Italian Mold Group has a shared point of contact who coordinates the technical and commercial assessment with the right company. Technical and contractual responsibility for the project is agreed with the selected company.
Does the site send the enquiry?
No. This version prepares a local file you can copy and download. It does not receive enquiries, does not send your data, and the address shown is a demonstration one.
Do I need to share confidential drawings?
A non-confidential description is enough to prepare the summary. Before sharing drawings, agree the channel and confidentiality conditions with the target company. This demo does not accept CAD files.
How is the mould validated and progress tracked?
Agree with the company the acceptance criteria, trials, samples and reports, together with progress milestones and each party's responsibilities.
Which language can I use with the team?
The website is available in Spanish, Portuguese and English. Confirm the language for technical and commercial assessment with the shared point of contact.
What does delivery and support include?
The network offers mould maintenance capabilities. Ask the proposal to specify logistics, customs, insurance, spare parts and support, including where the service will be provided.
Which items make up the total cost?
Clarify each item with the company: engineering and simulation, build and components, treatments and finishes, trials and materials, changes included or excluded, packing, transport, acceptance and spare parts. These are terms to agree, not prices or guaranteed inclusions. Ask which items are included and which are quoted separately.
Which capacity and delivery points should I clarify?
Storage area, racking capacity, stock level and production lead time have not been published. Share the project volume, storage and shipping you expect with the shared point of contact so these points can be agreed with the company.
