Glossary
- CNC (Computer Numerical Control)
- Computer Numerical Control: the use of programmed instructions to automate machine tool movements. At the Taizhou machine tools fair, CNC systems are central to milling, turning and grinding equipment on show.
- Machining centre
- A multi-axis machine tool that combines milling, drilling and tapping operations in one enclosure. Exhibitors at TZICEC use machining centres to demonstrate productive metal-cutting workflows for mould and die work.
- Mould and die
- Tooling used to shape molten plastic, metal or other materials into finished parts. The Taizhou exhibition covers mould design, steel selection and precision machining for injection moulds and stamping dies.
- EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining)
- A machining process that removes metal with electrical sparks. EDM equipment at the fair is relevant to hardened steel mould cavities and fine features that conventional cutting tools cannot reach.
- CAD/CAM
- Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing software used to model parts and generate toolpaths. At the Taizhou show, CAD/CAM vendors link design data to CNC programs for mould and component production.
- Five-axis machining
- A CNC capability that moves the cutting tool or workpiece along five axes at once. Five-axis machines at TZICEC support complex mould geometries and reduce the number of setups.
- Tool holder
- A device that grips the cutting tool and mounts it in the machine spindle. Tool holder suppliers at the Taizhou fair show balance, rigidity and quick-change options for high-speed machining.
- Spindle
- The rotating axis of a machine tool that holds the cutting tool. Spindle speed, torque and thermal stability are key specifications for mould and die machining shown at the exhibition.
- PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)
- An industrial controller used to automate machinery sequences. PLC and control-system exhibitors at the Taizhou fair support machine tool integration and factory automation projects.
- Injection moulding
- A manufacturing process that injects molten plastic into a mould cavity. The Taizhou exhibition connects mould makers with injection moulding machine builders and automation suppliers.
- Metrology
- The science and practice of measurement. Metrology equipment at TZICEC is used to verify mould dimensions, surface finish and machined part accuracy.
- Workholding
- Fixtures and devices that secure a workpiece during machining. Workholding exhibitors at the Taizhou show present vises, chucks and pallet systems for repeatable production.
- Automation cell
- A grouped set of robots, machine tools and conveyors that perform a production sequence with minimal manual intervention. Automation cells at the fair demonstrate loading, unloading and inspection for mould and machining shops.
- Die spotting press
- A press used to fit and test mould halves during toolmaking. Die spotting equipment at TZICEC helps mould makers reduce tryout time before production.
