Customer Cases
This case study explores the real-world impact of the high-precision, high-speed GJ8070 CNC milling machine in mold manufacturing. Featuring a dual-column design, Fanuc control system, and HSK high-speed spindle, the GJ8070 delivers superior accuracy and throughput—demonstrated through a detailed client example. By comparing performance metrics with competing models, this article highlights measurable improvements in production flow and part quality, offering decision-makers clear evidence of value. Ideal for manufacturers evaluating advanced machining solutions.

How the GJ8070 CNC Milling Machine Transformed a Mold Maker’s Production Efficiency

In today’s competitive mold manufacturing landscape, precision, speed, and consistency are no longer optional—they’re essential. One mid-sized mold shop in Shenzhen recently made a strategic upgrade to the GJ8070 High-Speed Vertical Machining Center, and the results speak louder than any brochure.

Real Results from Real Work: A Case Study

Before adopting the GJ8070, this client was spending an average of 3.5 hours per complex cavity mold on finishing operations using a traditional horizontal mill. With frequent tool breakage and inconsistent surface finishes (Ra > 1.6 μm), they were losing up to 15% of their production batch due to rework or rejection by clients.

After switching to the GJ8070—equipped with a Fanuc 31i-B control system and HSK-A63 high-speed spindle—the same operator now completes the same job in just 1.8 hours, with Ra values consistently below 0.8 μm. That’s a 49% reduction in cycle time and a 90% drop in rework rates within three months.

Why This Matters for Your Business

The GJ8070 isn’t just another CNC machine—it’s engineered for the demands of modern mold making. Its dual-column design ensures superior rigidity under heavy cutting loads, while the Fanuc controller delivers repeatable accuracy down to ±0.003 mm over extended runs. The HSK spindle achieves up to 24,000 RPM, allowing for faster feed rates without sacrificing finish quality.

Compared to similar machines in the market (like those from DMG MORI or Mazak), the GJ8070 offers better value per hour of operation—not because it's cheaper, but because it reduces downtime, minimizes tool wear, and improves first-pass yield. In fact, our customer reported a 32% increase in monthly output without hiring additional staff.

What Buyers Are Asking Right Now

We often hear questions like:

  • “Can this really reduce my setup time?” → Yes—thanks to quick-change tooling and intuitive programming.
  • “Is it reliable for 24/7 operations?” → Our users report 98% uptime after 6 months of continuous use.
  • “Will I need special training?” → Operators familiar with Fanuc controls can be productive in under two days.

These aren’t hypotheticals—they’re real experiences from shops across China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East who’ve adopted the GJ8070 for both prototyping and serial production.

"If you're serious about improving your mold quality and throughput, the GJ8070 isn’t just an option—it’s a turning point."
