In the field of high precision manufacturing, the accurate control of details and the careful selection of materials are key to ensuring the performance and reliability of a product. Mineral casting machine bases made of epoxy granite have won the favor of many top manufacturers and designers due to Read More

When many people think of mineral castings, the first thing that comes to mind is cement. This understanding is not surprising, because in the early days of the development of mineral castings, cement concrete was indeed used instead of cast iron to build machine frames and bases, but it only assume Read More

New users are often worried that they are not familiar with new materials such as mineral castings, and they feel that the research and development risks are too great, so they dare not try. In fact, many advanced companies, especially European manufacturers, have already stepped on the minefield fo Read More

Mineral casting, also known as polymer concrete, is a material used in the construction of machine tool beds. It is a composite material composed of mineral fillers such as quartz or granite aggregates bound together by a low-viscosity epoxy resin. This combination results in a material that exhib Read More

Due to its hygroscopicity, the internal structure of cement-based concrete will change over time and it does not have dimensional stability.

Overview of Chassis Materials In precision engineering, the importance of the chassis to machine accuracy is often underestimated.The machine base defines the position between subsystems such as drive systems, measuring systems or machining equipment and is often the most expensive single component in a machine tool.The aim is to achieve a low-cost, highly integrated chassis.In ultra-precision measurement and machining, the chassis must ensure the stable position of all subsystems and have high rigidity to cope with static and dynamically changing thermal loads as well as mechanical forces and torques.For high-speed machining, the machine base should provide high damping and stability.For precision applications, the thermal and long-term stability of the structure becomes very important.Commonly used materials for chassis are natural stone, cast iron, steel and ceramic.An alternative to these materials is mineral composites, and machine chassis made of mineral composites are called mineral castings.The composition of mineral composite materials. Mineral composite materials use modified epoxy resin as adhesive, mineral particles as aggregate particles, and Read More
